Treadwell Campaign Caught Stealing Alaskan Artist’s Work

Alaskan artist Victoria Schultz sent a “Cease and Desist” letter through her attorney to the Mead Treadwell campaign today, after it was caught infringing on her copyrighted material. Ms. Schultz drew a political cartoon, which appeared in the Frontiersman newspaper earlier this week, depicting the election year transformation of candidate Treadwell. The cartoon clearly has her copyright notice and name included; however, the Treadwell campaign took the image, altered it and portrayed it as their own.

Ms. Schultz captured Treadwell’s actions, which indicate he has been far less conservative than his election year rhetoric. He is on record favoring amnesty for illegal aliens. He does not support the impeachment of Barack Obama, despite the President’s blatant violations of the Constitution and abuse of executive authority.

The Lieutenant Governor is a proponent of man-made global warming and the UN Law of the Sea Treaty, which gives that body the authority to directly tax and regulate American citizens for the first time ever. Treadwell also blocked a pro-life initiative from the ballot and contributed over thirty times to pro-abortion candidates.

After being contacted by Ms. Schultz’s attorney, the Treadwell campaign took down her property from their campaign site.

Miller campaign spokesman Randy DeSoto said, “I am not surprised by the Treadwell campaign’s actions. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; I wouldn’t be surprised if the Lieutenant Governor tries to grow a beard before this thing is over. Treadwell can try to sound like Joe Miller, even look like him, but as Alaskans learn his record, they are realizing he is no Joe Miller. Joe is the only true conservative running for U.S. Senate in the Last Frontier. That is a fact that the Treadwell campaign will not be able to steal.”
