If I were to garner a list of 100 retirees in the community where I live, would that mean as much as 100 celebrities from Hollywood? I could get a list of 100 farmhands also, I'm sure I could find a hundred who would support the USA in a war with Iraq.

They all need to combine their efforts into one website.

Depending on the size of your community, I would think that it would be carry a lot of weight.

According to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' website (www.ampas.org) the accademy has 5,607 voting members. This is just the motion picture industry, let alone TV and music.

100 out of an excess of five thousand, now you are talking a significant sum!

You are right, a letter signed by 100 retirees or farmers should mean more...Hollywood people clearly should be taken alot less seriously than everyday Americans.

I always wonder what it is about Hollywood types and artsy people in general that makes them so infatuated with totalitarian syle governing.
