As stated in prior posts, not too much can really be done to stop celebrity participation in political aspects of our country. Sure, to some it is annoying that people who are not politicians or people who have not received "appropriate" degrees should not be involved in the government or electoral processes. In my opinion, this “issue” isn’t an “issue” at all. The Unites States made the decision to be a democracy. Why shouldn’t everyone in the country be able to participate? The people who get behind political campaigns care deeply about the issues they are supporting. Who cares if they are a celebrity? What does a degree matter? If you really think about it, that is what democracy is. People, no matter who they are, no matter what there profession is, getting involved in the workings of the government. They aren’t harming anyone; all they’re doing is supporting causes about which they feel strongly. This is America, anyone can be what they want to be, anyone can do what they want to do (within reason). There is no deciding factor that says if or if not a person should be allowed to support a political figure (except probably felons...I doubt they want that).
