Marquis' $10,000 Haircut for Obama

With this fund raising page all I have is one question for you:
“Are you CURIOUS about the changes that will be made by Barack for our country, or are you SERIOUS about going out there and making those changes?”
Are you Curious or are you Serious?
Are you Interested or are you Involved?
Are you “Wanting to” and “Going to” or are you “Doing It” and “Getting it Done!”
Curious people do what is convenient.
Serious people do what is necessary.
Curious people say things like
“If it's on my way.”
“If I'm not too tired.”
“I'll try.”
“I really wanted to be there but...”
Serious people say:
“Where ever it is I'm there!”
“I'll be tired as heck, I'll be there with a cup of coffee in my hands.”
“I'm doing it”
I challenge you to decide which one are you? It's okay either way. But Decide. November 4th is a stones throw away. If you've been sitting on the couch yelling “F**K Bush for the last eight years then get off your ass and do something. This is your chance, this is your time! Do you want to keep talking about change or do you want to live it?
I'm an actor. Besides my skill, the most important tool in my arsenal is my looks. I've been growing my trademark hair for almost 5 years. It stands out on my headshots and its something that I've used to get parts. Here is some of my work:

If we raise $10,000 for this campaign I will Shave My Head!

Why is this so important for me?
I'm an actor and a writer. Like 90% of Hollywood I haven't starred in that one big movie or sold that one huge script that will set me up for life. Like most of my friends I skate by on whatever telemarketing/server/internet writing job I can get my hands on to pay the bills until I actually reach my goal.
With these little jobs I don't have health care. I don't have any form of insurance. I'm barely scraping enough money up drop some broccoli in my Top Ramen, how can I afford to pay for insurance for my health? Helping Barack Obama makes it so that all those people that are the extras you see in movies can stay in Los Angeles. Imagine a movie crowd shot without anyone in the crowd. Imagine the set of 24 with just the people with speaking roles. Imagine any movie with only the stars. The rest of us are living on borrowed time. One trip to the hospital and it's game over.
Having affordable Health Care for everyone matters. If you're rich, it means that you have workers available to work the shifts at your corporation to lift your stock price. If you're not rich it means having the security to go to a doctor before something becomes TOO expensive to fix.
This is for my knee that I've already severely sprained (or worse) without getting medical attention. When I'm 40, I'll probably walk the rest of my life with a limp (or I'll need my knee to be replaced). This is for my Grandmother, a retired factory worker who's back teeth are broken but she doesn't have health care and can't afford to pay 2 thousand dollars (or more) for a complete bridge and denture work.
With Barack Obama in office we have the hope of Universal Healthcare. We get the chance to make sure your movies continue to look like reality so I challenge to Donate through My Page, To Volunteer in your local area (or travel to a swingstate for a weekend or two), and To Vote.
What are you willing to give up to help Obama guide America? Are you serious or are you curious?
