Matthew Bendert's Home Page
Hello and welcome to a little place I like to call on-line home. I've been tidying up a bit, and have lots of new pictures, especialy some from the recent War Protest I attended on March 20th. I cannot support such a war and as an artist and an American I feel it is my duty to make a stand. If you are not up for war talk, I have plenty of other things on the website to look at, so make yourself at home.

As I am sure most of you are aware, the United States has recently taken military action against the country of Iraq for the stated goal of "regime change." This "pre-emptive war" is completely illegal under the rulings of the Nuremburg Tribunal after WWII, and therefore, along with humanitarian concerns and my personal worries as a citizen of this country whose work is creative in nature, I cannot support this war. -- a Poet for Peace
