I\u2019m excited about the Reason Rally<\/a> on March 24th at 10am. I\u2019m so excited that I posted my second HuffPost article<\/a> on it and really pushed to get it through. I am excited to see all the guests\u2026 and not just the speakers either. However, I want more. There are several famous atheists who should be going to this event but have not yet confirmed that they will be there\u2026 to my knowledge anyway. So, let\u2019s draft them!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start a massive grassroots campaign asking some of these celebrity atheists to come to the Reason Rally. Why should be bother? Well, if some really famous people showed up, the media would be more likely to talk about it. It brings attention to the Rally and to our movement. Plus, I would love to see some really cool famous people wandering around the National Mall.<\/p>\n

If we are going to draft famous people or even semi-famous people, we need to find a way to contact them. Twitter is usually the best option but if someone has another avenue, let\u2019s hear it. If you know their twitter handle, share it. The idea is to have lots of people tweet (or whatever) to that person and tell them that we want them to consider coming to the Reason Rally and include a link to the Reason Rally website (reasonrally.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Now, who should we draft? I have a few names, but am open to suggestions. Here is my short list:
\nBrad Pitt & Angelina Jolie
\nBill Maher
\nRicky Gervais
\nHoward Stern
\nNatalie Portman
\nMorgan Freeman
\nJodie Foster
\nAdrianne Curry
\nCenk Uygur
\nSeth McFarlane
\nGeorge Takei
\nHugh Laurie
\nEva Green
\nDaniel Radcliffe
\nRachel Weisz
\nMiley Cyrus
\nPretty much almost any famous comedian<\/p>\n

And just for kicks, Denzel Washington<\/a>. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
