LOS ANGELES (AP)--Mike Farrell and Anjelica Huston will release a letter Tuesday signed by a hundred celebrities who want President Bush to stop his war rhetoric toward Iraq.
The letter reportedly is signed by stars including Kim Basinger, Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson, Jessica Lange and Martin Sheen, publicists for the event said Monday.
Details of the letter weren't released.
Bush has threatened military force against Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, saying the dictator has amassed weapons of mass destruction that pose a danger to the United States.
United Nations weapons inspectors are searching the Middle Eastern country for such devices but have turned up little so far.
Farrell, who plays a veterinarian on the NBC drama ``Providence,'' previously compiled a celebrity-endorsed letter in June asking U.S. senators to vote against a plan to bury the nation's nuclear power waste at Nevada's Yucca Mountain.
Co-signers of that letter included Alec Baldwin and Tim Robbins, Rob Reiner, Barbra Streisand and Harry Belafonte.
On July 9, senators voted 60-39 in favor of the Yucca Mountain project.

When pondering foreign policy issues, I often ask myself,
"What would Uma Thurmond do?" (not)
To: Brian Mosely
I'm sure that President Bush will give this letter all the consideration it deserves.

"I'll sign a letter asking Hollywood celebs to stop the anti war rhetoric"LOL. I will too. These "letters" really are quite silly. If it makes them feel good, I guess there is no harm. It also gives Rush something to joke about. I almost feel sorry for them in their misguided belief of self-importance in such matters. Oh well....

LOS ANGELES (AP)--Mike Farrell and Anjelica Huston will release a letter Tuesday signed by a hundred celebrities who want President Bush to stop his war rhetoric toward Iraq. Imagine a letter signed by a hundred unknown ordinary informed Americans. Send it also to president Bush.
Which do you suppose is more likely to be "quoted"?

Fine by me...just don't bury them in Nevada! :)

Who gives a damn what these idiot limousine liberals think? These Hollywierdos suffer from massive delusions of self-importance.
To: Doctor Freeze
The beautiful thing about all of this is that more and more citizens in this country are learning about these ingrates, these so called celebrities... I wish the title of this post would have included, "vomit puke alert".
I hope they keep running there mouths. It is truely embarrassing to me, as an American, to hear them spew this garbage, but it shows their lack of character and loyalty to their country.

These people are as full of themselves as they are sh*t.Just a bunch of NO TALENT TRASH!Their opinions are that of a bunch of nobodys.

You're right. I've been boycotting anything and everything the hollywood lefties are in for years. But it's also time to give our utmost respect to Rick Schroeder -- the only hollywood celeb to appear and speak, at prime time, at the GOP convention.
To: Drango
Kid Rock went over there. Not that he should be confushed for a Hollywood type, but at least SOME of these guys still care about our troops. They were going to send Ted Nugent, but they were afraid he'd start his OWN war...

Farrell
Didn't he play a character named "BJ" :-)

"What would Uma Thurmond do?" (not)Their sense of self-importance is exceeded only by their irrelevancy.

I have to wonder why actors, who are people paid to pretend to be other people, think that their opinions are more valuable and newsworthy than anyone else's.Because they are surrounded by paid yes-men who tell them they are brilliant.

I agree!!! We need to do all we can to let all the Hollywood lefties know that we do not care what they think.

Kim Basinger, Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson, Jessica Lange and Martin SheenA Who's Who of yesterday's news. These people give new meaning to dysfunctional lives, so what makes them think they know what's best for the country?
