Gossip Girl stars make their voices heard

Gossip Girl stars Blake Lively (Serena), Penn Badgley (Dan), Chace Crawford (Nate) and Ed Westwick (Chuck) played a role in the new celebrity You Vote Video with a slew of other stars ranging from  Samuel Jackson to  Anne Hathaway and Susan Sarandon — hoping to get the word out to do whatever it takes — but vote on election day.

Here’s another political video from moveon.org making waves featuring Lively and Badgley doing a spoof video with a chorus of other young voices called “Talk to your parents about McCain.” The video urges youth to ask their parents to save their future by voting for Barack Obama. At the end of the video, Lively compares voting for McCain to drunk driving — “call me, I’ll pick you up, no questions asked.”

    This is CRAP! Go ahead vote For Obama, the one who wasn’t even born in this country, the one that is LYING about not being muslim, and the one whose documents cannot be found from going to college, and then if/when he wins, this country will CRUMBLE AND FALL right before your eyes!! And Blake and Penn, I WAS a BIG fan of yours, now I see that you have joined the other idiots and can no longer support your films. So go ahead vote for OBAMA and you will lose even more of your money!!!! by paying it all to taxes that goes to LAZY people sitting on their butts not doing a thing!! So much for your success, now that you have to be punished for it. Its pretty sad seeing this country about to make the biggest mistake ever in history!! You think Bush is bad, just wait!!

    Are you really not considered American unless you are born in this country? If we go back to history class you would learn aNONYMOUS, that all of our ancestors unless you are Native Americans came from Europe or Africa…basically someplace else. This country is a mixture of all different nationalities so I don’t think Obama not being born in America should be an issue. You talk about Bush being bad, how is McCain any better? As far as I’m concern he’s just another clone of Bush. And that line about being Muslim. First of all Muslim is a religion, Should we go around shunning everyone that practices that religion? Again if you actually went to school you would know that the religion it’s self, like all religion, is not the problem. It’s the people that interpret it that cause the issue and not everyone interprets religions the same way. Take for example Judaism, there’s Orthodox, Conservative, Reconstructionist, Reform Judaism. It’s about the interpretation of a religion not the religion itself ass whip. And by the way I do not believe that Obama practices it so why should it matter if perhaps he has or had family that did or does. Oh, and about those Lazy people sitting on their butts…who exactly are you referring to? Is it people that are on welfare because they are a single parents who have a job that pays minimum wage and have children to feed, bills to pay, rent to pay, children that need clothes…and I don’t know…I guess they just need to live. There are so many people that work that asses of and never get that “success.” You can still have a job and live in poverty. Take your head out of your ass and wake up sunshine to the real world where nothing is ever that simple or easy.

    No I didn’t mean it that you aren’t American if you aren’t born into this country, it states that you CANNOT be president if you are not a natural born citizen of America. When I talk about being muslim, which if it wasn’t such a big deal why is he denying he is one. It is going to open all doors for terroism in this country, especially when he is friends with some! Just wait and see. And as for lazy people, they are out there EVERYWHERE!! I think they need to come up with a diffrent way of helping the lower class out rather that taking it away from someone elses success, THATS BULL CRAP, you might as well go into their bank accounts and steal it. I don’t buy that share the wealth crap off someone elses money. Government needs to come up with something better than that. And all this talk about BUSH, research your history and you will see that through CONGRESS not BUSH all this crap that has been going on has been the DEMOCRATIC parties in the congress. RESEARCH IT BEFORE YOU TALK ABOUT BUSH. Sounds like to me you have been looking at too much media that talks CRAP, and listening to other peoples opinions. I research before I talk. Maybe you should too. I hate to say it but I am gonna be saying I TOLD YOU SO if/when Obama becomes president. This country is going to be a madhouse!
