We're all familiar with celebrity representatives and spokespersons for different humanitarian organizations. George Clooney and Angolina Jolie are only two names of many that come to mind when I consider this unique group of do-gooders. As of late, a familiar name has come back on the scene, director Michael Moore. He arrived in Wisconsin to stand in support with the protesters out there, challenging them not to give up, and to stay strong. Here's a YouTube video of his speech to the crowd:

I'm always skeptical of celebrities supporting any particular cause, because after all, they may have been excellent in a movie, but what makes them qualified to stand with a local, national, or international issue? But then again, if these people feel just as passionate about the cause, what makes them unqualified?
Are you nervous about the sway they may have over people?
