Here's a great reason to donate to Nick Clooney's campaign: George

Clooney's Dad Drafts Son for Government Campaign

Hollywood heart-throb George Clooney has promised to wash cars dressed in a toga - if people donate to his father Nick Clooney's congressional campaign. The Ocean's Eleven star, 42, is hosting a fundraiser at his Studio City, California home on March 6 to boost funds for Democratic candidate Nick's run for the US House of Representatives. Clooney has sent letters to potential campaign donors, promising to don a bed sheet and scrub vehicles if they give his dad at least $500. The note reads, "OK, this is a little tricky. I'll start with a warning: I'm asking for money so you might want to stop reading and pretend you never got this letter. My father, Nick, is running for the US House of Representatives in Kentucky's fourth District. He's the Democratic candidate. If he wins, he'll be the only Democrat from Kentucky in Congress. There's a limit to what anyone can donate to a campaign. If I was allowed, I'd pay for the whole thing (and cover a few Father's Days), but I can't. So, I'm writing you in hopes of scaring up some cash for his Congressional bid. If you can't or don't want to, I understand. However, if you can... I'm having a cocktail party at my house. It's a benefit so there will be entertainment, hors d'oeuvres and booze. And I'll wash your car every week till it's paid off and Armor-all the tires... in a toga. Hope to see you there, George."
