That would be OK but as I said before,  I don't think we ever really
got a realistic request for anything which is fine.  The bailout was a
joke and unrealistic. And also unless we become under the auspices of
P of A or UNIMA or umbrella organization they don't even know who is
asking. I guess it could just be a group of puppeteers, but still then
they need to have an address and all.   So as I finish it up (almost
done) that is something to consider.  Otherwise it is a nice awareness
piece about who we are.  From what I've heard in the talk among us I
think either the WPA sort of thing or increased NEA funding or P of a
And UNIMA actually get on board and formally ask for money for
something.  SO as we haven't released it yet there is the possibility
to come up with something concrete and get Pof A trustee approval and
change it to Puppeteers of America and get tons of signatures. Or as I
said before just put it out there for moral support and awareness and
an ad for the festival and in the rare chance Obama shows up which is
possible but not probable, just being realistic.
Either way I'm fine with using it however.
