85. Tell that to Senator Franken, why don't you?
Danny Glover is not a 'celebrity' he's an artist and a major film star of excellent reputation. And of course, any and all American citizens have the duty to speak out and speak up, it is not reserved for some special class nor is it disallowed to some professions. Certainly not to a profession that serves as a garden for many large political careers. Actors have become Presidents, Governors, Senators and Representatives at a rate that is really exceed only by lawyers.
Which other occupations do you think should not be allowed to voice political opinion?
