I do connect with politicians in a public way. Don’t know any personally. It certainly takes a lot of one’s time. And, some of us not that well off financially; well the dollar has to stretch further.
Then too, there is the constant solicitations from politicians and charities.

For me, I do the best I can to pray. Being a weak christian, I still try to do what I can. Does this make sense?
In other words, this is not a priest, or someone in a monastery, praying.

I would tell George that he is doing just fine; at least compared to other celebrities.

If you read this, George; I love to listen to your late aunt, Rosie, sing “Beautiful Brown Eyes”. What a treat!
And I mean to see more of your movies. I loved “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?”

George Clooney

A committed human rights advocate, the United States actor George Clooney was designated as a United Nations Messenger of Peace in January 2008. Using his global appeal and wide ranging talents as an actor, producer, screen writer and director, Mr. Clooney has focused public attention on crucial international political and social issues while diligently working to mobilize political action against the violence in Darfur.

The actor’s efforts toward ending the Darfur crisis have included a private trip with his father in 2006 to the war-torn region, as well as trips to China and Egypt, and serving as executive producer and narrator of a 2007 documentary, “Sand and Sorrow”. This documentary follows human rights activists as they visit refugee camps along the Chad-Sudan border and includes interviews with experts from Khartoum to London to New York that chronicle the ongoing tragedy.

In September 2006, Mr. Clooney spoke to members of the Security Council at an “Arria formula” meeting along with Messenger of Peace Elie Wiesel, Nobel Laureate and Holocaust survivor. The “Arria formula” is a vehicle by which non-governmental actors can address the United Nations Security Council outside the official sessions.

In April 2007, Mr. Clooney and several other leaders in the United States film industry co-founded “Not On Our Watch,” a non-profit organization using influential people in the arts to capture global attention and resources as a way to combat mass atrocities around the world. Helping bring about a resolution to the Darfur crisis is the organization’s first official mission.

As a Messenger of Peace, he will help raise public awareness and support for United Nations peacekeeping efforts around the world.

**Notice that unlike Jolie, Clooney was asked to join.**

To effectively “change the world” i firmly believe one must begin at home. There are so many issues in our nation that need to be addressed. Unemployment, lack of health care at affordable costs, cost of living, homelessness. I could go on and on, but I am sure GC is very aware of all of this, even though his main residence is in Italy. So, i would tell GC to , “Begin At Home”.
