Very interesting Ping!
Thought you might find this of interest.
If Hanks isn’t for Trump I could give a fat rats ass.
That’s fascinating.
Thanks for posting what the power of the gospel can do.
I’ve seen the film. It’s very interesting.
Hanks is a lot of things but a “faithful Greek Orthodox Christian” is not one of them.
“Hanks supports same-sex marriage, environmental causes, and alternative fuels. He has donated to many Democratic politicians, and during the 2008 United States presidential election uploaded a video to his MySpace account endorsing Barack Obama.[99] He also narrated a 2012 documentary, The Road We’ve Traveled, created by Obama for America.[100]
Hanks was outspoken about his opposition to the 2008 Proposition 8, an amendment to the California constitution that defined marriage as a union only between a man and a woman. Hanks and others raised over US$44 million to campaign against the proposition, in contrast to the supporters’ $39 million,[101] but Proposition 8 passed with 52% of the vote.[102] It was overruled in June 2013, when the Ninth Circuit lifted its stay of the district court’s ruling, enabling Governor Jerry Brown to order same-sex marriage officiations to resume.[103] While premiering a TV series in January 2009, Hanks called supporters of Proposition 8 “un-American” and criticized the LDS Church members, who were major proponents of the bill, for their views on marriage and role in supporting the bill.[104][105] About a week later, he apologized for the remark, saying that nothing is more American than voting one’s conscience.[106]
A proponent of environmentalism, Hanks is an investor in electric vehicles and owns a Toyota RAV4 EV and the first production AC Propulsion eBox. He was a lessee of an EV1 before it was recalled, as chronicled in the documentary Who Killed the Electric Car?[107] He was on the waiting list for an Aptera 2 Series.[108]
