1. Pledge what? And who really cares what any of those deep-thinkers say?
Ashlee Simpson. For Christ's sake.

4. I enjoyed that. I'm hoping to see more celebs speak up.
Especially nice to see a few new faces among those like Cameron Diaz, who has been promoting green issues for a long time.

Thanks for posting this, I'm mystified by the snark.

:hi:

6. Well snark is a good way to hide from the moral obligations to do more

7. This will be Obama's biggest community organizing effort, ever.
Mobilizing America, he'll use many of the same motivational and inspirational techniques he used in Chicago.

More than a few people among the 350 million Americans will step up!

8. You are so right! I just talked to my son who's away at school and
would normally be sleeping on an off school day. He's out working on a service project! That made me feel great!

9. Just because someone is a celebrity does not mean they cannot do good things
Actually I bet celebs give way more money and time then business execs do.

11. I Thought That Was A Great PSA
Cynics aside, celebrities do influence people.
