George and Amal Clooney to Host Series of Hillary Clinton Fundraisers

http://variety.com/2016/biz/news/george-clooney-amal-hillary-clinton-fundraisers-1201732999/

Please make room UTB for George and Amal Clooney - if they are not there already!

In 2012, Clooney hosted a fundraiser at his Studio City home for President Obama’s re-election campaign, raising about $15 million, a big boost to fundraising coffers after the campaign invited supporters to participate in a raffle contest to attend. The success led to other campaigns adopting a similar fundraising approach, with the campaign of Mitt Romney holding a raffle to attend dinner with the candidate and Donald Trump.

Clinton next will visit Los Angeles on March 24 for a series of fundraisers, including an event at the nightclub Avalon Hollywood and a reception at the home of ICM Partners’ Chris Silbermann and Julia Franz.

The campaign says supporters can text CLOONEY to 47246 to enter.

Clooney told The Guardian last month that he planned to hold fundraisers for Clinton, but he also had words of praise for her rival for the Democratic nomination, Bernie Sanders. As for Donald Trump, Clooney called him a “xenophobic fascist.”

... in how to be an effective representative and advocate and supporter. (Bet you never see Clooney spouting off with finger-wagging and "well fuck them".)









And he's SO handsome! (Swoon!) Please lord, give him the wisdom and positive self-image to allow himself to age naturally and to refrain from becoming like Wayne Newton, Barry Manilow, Burt Reynolds, Kenny Rogers, Mickey Rourke...
