Barack Obama: Celebrities make inspiring pledges

Hollywood celebrities have geared up in support of Barack Obama. "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria Parker swore off plastic water bottles and "Charlie's Angels" actress Lucy Liu also vowed to help the environment by riding the subway when she is in New York.

Sources have thrown more light on the news of Barack Obama. In a show of support for call of President-elect Barack Obama for community well fare service, over fifty Hollywood celebrities have taken the pledge to take positive action. This incident was recorded in a video from husband-and-wife acting duo Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore.

The video will be shown on a popular social networking website by next Monday, the day before Obama's inauguration.

"There's an assumption that this one man is going to take on his new job full-time and somehow wave a magic wand of change, and I don't believe that to be true." The comment has made by thirty year old Kutcher.

Barack Obama has made an appeal to the Americans for the betterment of their communities. Moreover he has also promised to expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps.

It is no surprise that celebrities are among the first to respond just as Hollywood figures eagerly lined up behind Obama during his presidential campaign.
Soleil Moon Frye, 32, a former child star from the 1980s sitcom "Punky Brewster," pledged to support the search for a cure for Alzheimer's disease, a cause she is already involved in because her father suffers from it.

Cameron Diaz, Dakota Fanning and Eva Mendes, and rock singer Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers arte some of the celebrities who recorded pledges.

Comedian George Lopez jokingly pledged not to drive a hybrid-electric vehicle because "it's not very Latino." However he has made the promise to be more inclusive and work for national unity.

"Entourage" star Kevin Connolly pledged to visit website created by Barack Obama and sign up for a community service project in his neighborhood.

Bob Stern, president of the Los Angeles-based Center for Governmental Studies, added the call of Mr Obama for community service listens to the appeals made by presidents John F. Kennedy, who established the Peace Corps, and George H.W. Bush, the father of the existing  president who inspired Americans to volunteer by speaking of "a thousand points of light."

"I think (Obama's appeal) could even be bigger, because people criticized Bush and they said, 'Well you don't really mean it, this is just a way to get government out of things,'" Stern said. "I think this will be more equivalent to Kennedy."
