And more....
They all signed off on condemnation of Georgia's voting changes.
When I first read all of this, I thought - well aren't these changes for the better? Don't most already have ID? Isn't requiring it a good idea?
But then I saw the celebrities names, people I never met but they are pretty good actors in some movies I have seen - well that changed the complexion of everything for me. I know I like to follow politics and consider myself to be informed at least - but when THESE people sign off on something, that's different. :rolleyes:
This changes absolutely - nothing.

Hollywood Stars, Entertainment Companies Sign Open Letter Condemning Georgia Voting Restrictions
Fortune 500 companies, A-list movie stars, filmmakers and corporate heavyweights came out swinging on April 14, condemning Georgia’s new voting restrictions in an open letter that was printed in The Washington Post and the New York Times.
The hundreds of signatories included the likes of Netflix, Amazon, ViacomCBS, Starbucks, Facebook and UTA, as well as celebrities such as Rooney Mara, George Clooney, Mark Ruffalo, Larry David, Josh Gad, Lee Daniels, George Lucas, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Leonardo Dicaprio, Demi Lovato, Shonda Rhimes, Samuel L. Jackson, Orlando Bloom and Naomi Campbell. Business titans such as Michael Bloomberg, Scooter Braun, J.J. Abrams, David Geffen and Warren Buffett also signed the note.
“For American democracy to work for any of us, we must ensure the right to vote for all of us,” the statement reads. “Voting is the lifeblood of our democracy, and we call upon all Americans to take a nonpartisan stand for this basic and most fundamental right of all Americans.”
The open letter was organized by former American Express CEO Kenneth Chenault and Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier, and emerged out of a meeting that the men hosted with other business leaders over the weekend.
