I really like this actress and she is doing a lot of good. She was awesome on Bill Maher.

I do not know why this hating on you is going on, and I really do not care.

I do know that there are many who are "making it" who do nothing for anyone. I like that you make an effort to be involved and make a difference. I like that you are involved in uplift of your group. I like that you seek to do the right thing for the right reason. I like that you work to improve your mind, and are furthering your education.

Do your thing.. Show us another way. Block out the naysayers, and blaze a fresh path.

How much of her personal money has gone to HER cause?

She's a good talent and a proud South Texan doing what she can to promote her Hispanic heritage. Oh yeah, not to mention one stunning beauty!
