These folks often place themselves in veritable lions dens, e.g. Ms Hanna's arrest, for something they believe strongly in. Celebrities are often criticised for such positions of advocacy with the criticism generally coming from the opposition. I see their participation as a huge asset in drawing attention to our cause, and I thank them for placing themselves in potential jeopardy, a position that most of us would avoid. I find it interesting that Hollywood stars generally take positions on the left. I'm not aware of many that take positions on the conservative side, with the exception of Charlton Heston, may he rest in peace, and the NRA.
