Glad I could do a little in aid of the defense. :smoke:

I have had the opportunity to enjoy this Canadian sculpture for a few years and will miss it terribly but it's worth giving up to aid funding. The sculptures done by Richard Kramer (google him) are a wonderful addition to any Canadian art collection.

So lets see if we can't generate some bids folks :hurray:

Turning this scenario on it’s ear …



Here’s my bid money and my plan:


My bid for $100 Cdn


Image



If successful as the winning bidder, I will send this statue to Prime Minister Stephen Harper with the following letter:



Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper, Prime Minister
Office of the Prime Minister
80 Wellington Street
Ottawa
K1A 0A2

Date: xxxx

Dear Mr. Prime Minister:

Freedom of speech is the cornerstone of democracy. On behalf of all Canadians, who believe this to be true, we present your office with this Kramer statue called “Family with 1 Child”. This represents many of the values we hold and of those to which we speak. We do not come before you with our hats in our hands or our shoulders bent, and we ask for nothing.

We state our inalienable right of the freedom of speech. Our heads may be bloodied, but they are unbowed. We shall continue with or without your support.



Yours very truly,


Free Speechers,
Citizens of Canada







Anyone interested in joining me can add an additional $5, $10, $25, whatever you can afford, on top of my initial bid of $100, to make this a cumulative bid and we will send this off to the Prime Minister.




Post your support below and we'll keep a running total.
Funds go to the FD Free Speech Defense Fund.



Anyone wanting this item for a different or personal purpose - bid on it separately.

You just know you're doing something correctly when M.J. Murphy a.k.a. BigCityLib takes a cheap shot at someone as sound and grassroots as Styky.

Have a look at his <a href=http://bigcitylib.blogspot.com/search/label/Bad%20Art>post called: Bad Art - Free Dominion</a> and see what this liberal is all about.

While you are there, this is the same guy calling Marc Lemire a Nazi because Lemire dared to stand up to the HRC, while supporting the shenanigans of the HRC.

Anon,

Nazi Mark Lemire says the records are. I wrote about that a couple of days ago.

If it's not a government funded art project of someone throwing crap of somekind on a crucifix
they have a hard time understanding it.

I wonder if he is still using the Toronto Real Estate Board's server while he posts his defamation. :-k

I think it is beautiful, styky. And I think you have a beautiful spirit for giving up something that you love to help us. People reap what they sow. :hug:

Every little bit helps and I hope that it's new owner who ever it will be will love it as much as I have.

It was a gift to me by a dear friend who I chummed with for more than 30 years until his untimely death from cancer a few years ago.
