What you can do about Censorship at Smithsonian

Contributor and friend James Hipps asked me today, well, what can I do about the current artistic censorship at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery? Here are three things we can all do:
  1. Write the Museum's Director Dr. Sullivan c/o Sherri Weil, Director of Development and External Affairs at weils@si.edu, and tell him you are offended that he would censor the religious views of an artist because of the religious views of a politician. 
  2. Write a member of the clergy, that you know, and ask him/her to share their support for the religious freedom of expression by artists by writing to the Smithsonian. 
  3. Write your local art museum director and ask him/her what they are doing to support freedom of artistic expression and opposing political censorship at the Smithsonian?
