What I disagree with is actors who use their notoriety and their significant personal wealth to broadcast their views in a very public forum. They're free to have whatever views they care to have, but there are hundreds of thousands of others in this country who don't have the ability to try to influence public debate and thought about the war.

Hollywood is out of touch with mainstream America on this and a number of other issues. I don't have the forum and clout that a George Clooney does in getting my views out in front of the public. I do have the ability to withhold my money from him and that's what I plan to do. I doubt it'll be for a lifetime, but it will be a while.
