Contribution For Summer Issue
Greetings:

My name is Joe Weidner and I am a writer, photographer and desingner in Columbus. I am the full time editor of a 50,000 circulation newpaper going to members of the state's largest public employee union.

I would like to offer the SF Free Press a feature I call “Postcard From Ohio”. I started this last year as a form of “art therapy” to cope with our state’s “battle ground” craziness during the election and it amused many of my friends. I am not looking for compensation, I would be flattered to be included in your magaizine. Please send me an e-mail address so I can send you the art for your review.

I have a souvenir postcard from the Bush coronation. It features the White House on the front with the legend “Welcome to Fantasy Land”, and a picture of Bush on the back with his post-election quote “I am the President of everybody”

I also designed a special “Weapons of Mass Destruction” commemorative first-class postage stamp for the card.

In addition, I have designed a John Ashcroft “Rights? I’ll tell you what your rights are!” and an Alberto Gonzales “What’s a little torture between friends?” postage stamp for use on future cards.

Hope to hear from you prior to your publication deadline.

In solidarity,

Joe Weidner
