Celebrities? video? Did I miss something?
Perhaps Drew can send us some URLs.

A celebrity video,"I pledge!", made to celebrate the inauguration of President Obama is frightening extreme right wing conservatives. The video is being circulated in right wing circles as proof of Obama's secret plan to indoctrinate America's children. Conservatives are terribly frightened that Obama is going to somehow seduce their children, turning them into socialists or fascists, depending on which right wing nut is speaking. The fear is ludicrous, a tragic symptom of madness, as the right wing fringe continues their fall from the precipice of reason.
Apparently kids at Eagle Bay Elementary School in Farmington, Utah were shown the short video during a start-of-school assembly. Needless to say, a few vocal parents were upset, fearing Obama was secretly trying to indoctrinate their children.
Hollywood heavyweights made their pledges to Barack Obama in the video below. Directed and edited by Demi Moore, it features celebrity
pledges by Cameron Diaz, Hayden Panetierre, Laura Linney, Dakota Fanning, Jaime Pressley, Ashlee Simpson, Nicole Richie, Ashton Kutcher, Tobey Maguire, Diddy, Alyssa Milano, Marisa Tomei, Courteney
Cox Arquette and David Arquette, and others.
Reflecting Barack's call for change, the film features over 50 of the
biggest stars in Hollywood revealing how they plan to personally participate in keeping America strong, proud and green. The clip was debuted during President Obama's inaugural celebration.
President Barack Obama:
“Let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.”
