Actress Jessica Alba uses the Pledge of Allegiance as an example of the campaign in an email to supporters.
Growing up, my classmates and I started every day with a ritual: Wed stand up, put our right hand over our hearts, and say the Pledge of Allegiance, explains Alba. To me, that gesture was a promise. A promise to be involved and engaged in this countrys future. A promise to work for liberty and justice and for affordable education, health care, and equality for all.
Alba joins Hollywood actresses Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson by photographing herself with her hand on her heart pledging to vote for Obama.
Thats why all across the country, people like you and I are proudly writing down our reasons for getting involved, and then taking the pledge to vote.
Obama campaign staffers have also begun posting photos of themselves with the pledge.
Make sure youre ready to vote this fall, Alba writes. Putting your hand over your heart is making a promise. Casting your ballot is keeping it.

Thanks, I’ve been looking for that.
I have it on cassette but never had the lyrics.
Say, is that a pic of Adolph and Barrak?
Each of those women are smoking hot, too bad they’re stupid and apparently don’t give a damn about our country.
Idiot and not a very good actress to boot. Needs to stick with being a cartoon voice.

These people don't get it, and especially the various "misfits".
In utopia there is no place for those who do not conform. When the time comes and a future (present?) uber fascist regime has full control there will likely be some cleansing apparatus more advanced than gas chambers - but whatever it is, the first guests will be the "other than normal" (be they homosexual, belonging to a race perceived as inferior, or simply useless eaters).
That's what always happens.
Yep, looks just like A.H. His son maybe ?
CIBOLA!!!
Sometimes it’s good to be an old fogey. I don’t even know who this woman is. I thought celebrity worship went out with the sixties. These people are irrelevant.
There is a saying, something about God not giving with both hands.

VIDEO: Red Skelton Pledge Of Allegiance, 14 January 1969
I: Me, an individual, a committee of one.And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of Allegiance:PLEDGE: Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self pity.
ALLEGIANCE: My love and my devotion.
TO THE FLAG: Our standard, Old Glory, a symbol of freedom. Wherever she waves, there's respect because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody's job.
UNITED: That means that we have all come together.
STATES: Individual communities that have united into 48 great states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose; all divided with imaginary boundaries yet united to a common purpose, and that's love for country.
AND TO THE REPUBLIC: A state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people, and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.
FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION: One nation, meaning "so blessed by God."
INDIVISIBLE: Incapable of being divided.
WITH LIBERTY: Which is freedom, the right of power to live one's own life without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation.
AND JUSTICE: The principle or quality of dealing fairly with others.
FOR ALL: For all, which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine.
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country, and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance: "under God." Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that would be eliminated from schools too?
