A well known Democrat Los Angeles art collector has vowed to stop contributing to Democrats because they joined with Republicans in a bipartisan vote last week.
LA art collector Blake Byrne "sent an email to several Democrats Monday, including California Reps. Julia Brownley (West Lake Village), John Garamendi (Walnut Grove) and Scott Peters (San Diego), saying he is “greatly disappointed” they voted with Republicans and that he will no longer donate in any way to their campaigns."
The LA Times reports that Byrne also sent the letter to the Los Angeles Times, Echo Lake Entertainment President Andy Spaulding, and others in the entertainment industry.

Cough... Cough...
Here's the thing: no one can dispute Blake's zeal and dogma... And I will defend his right to give his Samolians to whomever he wants to... But this "news release angle" (guaranteed to make the news, especially when the rare bipartisan vote takes place) to what most of the times is a private matter, really smells of a Hollywood dude looking to see his name in Google News...
Good for you Blake! Next time, keep it to yourself.
As a result of your Hollywoodesque action, and the way in which it came to my attention... I will no longer sell you any artwork for your collection!
Sorry dude - no more art for you!
