PETITION
: Continue"The Gentleman from Lickskillet"!
WHEREAS, in a free
society, satire plays a critical role in undermining deception and
exposing hypocrisy, and
WHEREAS satire
critical of the Powers-That-Be, and coming from a
conservative/independent point of view, is rare -- and, when it appears,
is usually ignored or treated as heretical, and
WHEREAS the comic
strip "The Gentleman from Lickskillet" by Allen & Tuma --
-
Is one of
the few sources of satire written from a conservative,
independent, grassroots perspective,
-
Provides
much-needed criticism of America's political and cultural
elite, and
-
Entertains
with its humor even as it provokes discussion and debate
about the future of America and the world
THEREFORE, WE THE
UNDERSIGNED -- we who may be Democrats, Republicans, or independents
from any point on the political spectrum -- call upon newspapers,
newspaper syndicates, Web sites, and other media to provide venues
for the continued publication of "The Gentleman from Lickskillet."
