updated list to include Dustin Hoffman, who recently opened his big mouth...
We the undersigned American Citizens stand against Wealthy Hollywood Celebrities abusing their status to speak for us. We do not believe that they have a clear understanding of how we live, what we fear, and what we support. We believe that celebrities Martin Sheen, Mike Farrell, Tim Robbins, Rob Reiner, Barbara Streisand, and others with them are using their celebrity to interfere with the defense of our country. We believe that Hollywood Celebrities use their wealth to make their own personal issues known while Americans would never have the resources to speak out in this manner. We support President Bush in his efforts to defend our homeland, to defend democracy, and to take any measures to end the threat of terrorism. We do not claim to know more than anyone, especially President Bush. We elect a President who we can trust to make proper decisions based on facts available to him and not available to the rest of us. This is one reason trustworthiness and character is important in the people we elect into office. War is not easy, there are many before us who sacrificed their lives for freedom and if supporting citizens in other countries who cry out for democracy and freedom aids in the war against terrorism we support it. This Statement and its signatures will be published publicly and or delivered to Martin Sheen and Mike Farrell.

Should add, reluctantly, Paul Newman. As part of the Bush Bash - he doesn't think Americans, especially those who make more than the 'average' whatever that is, are taxed heavily enough.
I think his comment included that he made a ton of money...
Bradley Whitford plays "Joshua 'Josh' Lyman" on "The West Wing". You can find his filmography, bio etc at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0925966/
