Presidential Pledge Video



I found this video on myspace and had to repost it. I like that the celebrities in it feature a variety of changes that they are pledging to, not just giant causes - they include turning off the lights and remembering to be a part of the change.  Being part of the change isn’t about who is president or for whom you voted.  I served two years in AmeriCorps National Service and volunteered over 3,400 hours during those two years, but I gave not one thought to who the President was as I was baking cookies and reading stories with kids.  Those years gave me some of the best memories of my life and led me to moving to Massachusetts.

Watch the video and be a change.
