GRASSROOTS WRITING CAMPAIGN RUNNING STRONG

National Medal of Arts nominee Viktor Schreckengost should have the attention of the White House this week. Indications are that the President’s website has been inundated with letters of support asking that Viktor be a 2006 recipient of the lifetime achievement award. Like many past recipients, Schreckengost has been nominated a number of times, but has yet to be chosen.

As of today, the White House has yet to make any kind of announcement as to who might get President George W. Bush’s nod for this prestigious honor. Announcements of the President’s choices usually come in late October.
