Yup, I am on his email list. = )
Read below how you can get on his email list and his good side too. (does the man have a bad side?)
First, if you have never seen Hotel Rwanda, please go rent it. The story is compelling and so is Cheadle's performance. He is brilliant in fact.
Secoundly, though I am interested in everyone giving to the carneyforcongress campaign, it is very important that we treat the rest of the world with love, to promote peace and just because it is the right thing to do. No one should have to live like this anywhere in the world.
I dearly wish our government would do something about genocide in Africa. We only seem to act when it is in our financial interest. <sigh>
So please, if you have some funds, send some along to this worthy project.
Dear Teresa,

In 2004 I had a life-changing experience. I starred in a film called "Hotel Rwanda," about the courageous story of Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager who saved 1,200 refugees in the face of a savage genocide that gripped his country and claimed 800,000 lives.
Not since the Rwanda genocide of 1994 has the world seen such a calculated campaign of slaughter, rape, starvation and displacement as is happening right now in Darfur. I know, because I visited in January 2005.
The Save Darfur Coalition just released an amazing DVD that tells the story of Darfur, highlighting the efforts of those who have committed their lives to ending the genocide.
We need your support today to help show this truly moving piece to audiences across the country.
Click here today to make your donation to this urgent fundraising campaign. If you donate $50 or more we'll send you a copy of the DVD.
As we filmed Hotel Rwanda, I was overwhelmed with sadness and anger, reliving the lack of response by those who knew and could have acted.
And despite calls from the international community vowing to never let this happen again, another genocide is taking place right now in the Darfur region of Sudan.
But you can act by clicking here right now and making a critical donation to help show this important DVD all over the country.
In Darfur, government-backed militias, known collectively as the Janjaweed, are systematically eliminating entire communities and ways of life. Villages are razed, women and girls raped and branded, men and boys murdered, and food and water supplies targeted and destroyed.
Hundreds of thousands have already died. Millions more are at risk.
Your help can make a difference.
With your help we can make sure the movie "Hotel Darfur" never gets made.
Thank you,
Don Cheadle
