(Newser) – An army of celebrity Barack Obama supporters have joined a MySpace video vowing to serve the new president in a way inspired by his campaign. The video, launched by Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, includes A-listers such as Cameron Diaz, Dakota Fanning, Nicole Richie, Eva Longoria Parker, and Courteney Cox, who promises to "battle hunger in America." Other pledges are closer to home, such as a vow by Ashlee Simpson to "be a great mother" to her new baby boy.

I pledge to never ever support any of these morons with my money at their movies, my viewing of their propoganda, my patronatge of their television advertisers, and to do all in my power to convince the people in my circle of life to do the same.

Our government should serve us, not us serve it. Your prominence in our culture shames us all.
