Are you famous, but famously uninformed? Been nursing your platitudes lest your pet cause found its way to the B-list in this election year? Help is on the way: In a press release distributed this morning, Creative Coalition executive director Robin Bronk offers her special brand of Earnest Celebrity Issue Counseling for all your 2008 campaign preening:

In the age of celebrity mania it is hard to miss the impact of celebrity influence from fashion trends and product endorsements to the support of international causes and political points of view. As Americans gear up for one of the tightest political races in recent history, a celebrity backing could mean the difference between success and defeat.

"The Creative Coalition is here to ensure that celebrities advocate with knowledge and resources. We want to ensure they advocate effectively, no matter their political affiliations. Celebrities don't check their citizenship at the door just because their famous," Robin states. "They have the power to bring attention to issues others can't and they have every right to exercise that privilege. The Creative Coalition helps them do so successfully."

In extolling its civic virtue, the release invokes voter registration, alcohol abuse and education among its hot-button matters while name-checking Susan Sarandon and Kerry Washington as a few of its higher-profile beneficiaries. Even Quentin Tarantino, with his spotless record supporting feminist causes like Eli Roth's Hostel franchise and his own films' ethnic utopias including "Dead Ni**er Storage," became a confirmed health-care ambassador under The Creative Coalition's watchful guidance. If Bronk can't make you a better citizen, you're probably beyond compassion. Or, of course, you're Chuck Norris. Whom I'm kind of appreciating right now, to be honest.

Here's the full release, just in case you're interested.

Robin Bronk, Executive Director of The Creative Coalition Discusses Celebrity Impact on Political Climate

In the age of celebrity mania it is hard to miss the impact of celebrity influence from fashion trends and product endorsements to the support of international causes and political points of view. As Americans gear up for one of the tightest political races in recent history, a celebrity backing could mean the difference between success and defeat.

The Creative Coalition—the social and public advocacy arm of the entertainment industry—knows the climate is ripe for celebrity influence. Committed to mobilizing Hollywood on issues of public importance, The Creative Coalition (TCC) takes their position of power seriously. No blind endorsements. They're in the business of informed advocacy.

As Executive Director of The Creative Coalition, Ms. Bronk has been a frequent speaker and communicator on the role of the entertainment industry in public advocacy campaigns. She has been a featured guest on CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, New York 1, XM radio's Potus as well as other national and local media outlets.

"The Creative Coalition is here to ensure that celebrities advocate with knowledge and resources. We want to ensure they advocate effectively, no matter their political affiliations. Celebrities don't check their citizenship at the door just because their famous," Robin states. "They have the power to bring attention to issues others can't and they have every right to exercise that privilege. The Creative Coalition helps them do so successfully."

From attending forums on today's most pressing issues such as healthcare to actively engaging in Democratic, Republican Conventions and national debates, members are as energetic as they are educated. Most notably was the presence of top industry vets Quentin Tarantino, Tim Daly and Alfre Woodard at The Creative Coalition's Healthcare policy forum luncheon where the nation's growing concern with healthcare policy and reform was discussed with a panel of healthcare experts. The Creative Coalition representatives have the knowledge to effectively influence the community and nation.

Recently, The Creative Coalition partnered with ED in '08 in support of America's schools and attended the Las Vegas presidential debates. Stars like Maura Tierney, Matthew Modine, and James Denton were among attendees. We TV's "We Vote 08'" initiative, rocked by stars like Susan Sarandon and Kerry Washington, succeeded in generating greater buzz around campaign issues. The Creative Coalition involvement in The Health Alliance on Alcohol and The National Task Force on Children's Safety brought celebrity power and therefore visibility to organizations formerly in the peripheral of the public's eye. It's evident: The Creative Coalition has that extra something needed to get the public's attention.

Earlier this year, The Creative Coalition announced a partnership with Screen Media Films have to produce the documentary Poliwood - an up front and candid film exploring the role and involvement of celebrities in the 2008 elections. Filming kicked off with The Creative Coalition's annual Poliwood event in Park City during the Sundance Film Festival.

At The Creative Coalition, being a celebrity is more than a pretty face; it's an impetus for change.
