George Clooney and Darfur

Has George thrown in a few million of his own for the cause? Maybe he has. I didn't find that reported anywhere, however. Celebrities should put their money on the table if they want to be politicians. I think it best if they stay in their movie star role. But, yes, he does have the right to speak his mind. However, no 'average person' living in small town America would ever be able to address the UN. Only movie stars are given that opportunity. I don't really want a movie star speaking for America. We may see him as speaking only his own opinion (and we may agree with him), but others will associate him with all of North America. It is already thought in many places of the world that Hollywood = America..
