I just heard about this today .. The Presidential Pledge:

2009 promises to be a historical and exciting year filled with lots of hope, change and community service. To encourage ever greater levels of service throughout the country, MySpace and Katalyst Media, a production company co-founded by Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg, teamed up with celebrities to record their personal pledges of service. The moving pledges illustrate how they will help make the nationwide change, inspired by President-elect Barack Obama, a reality. Directed by Demi Moore, the videos will be presented to President-elect Barack Obama during the inauguration festivities.

In addition to all the celebrity pledges there are many sent in by everyday people like you and me.  The site gives you directions to post your pledge and links resources  to help fulfill that pledge.

The beautiful thing about this is the simplicity of each little sentence… Each pledge doesn’t have to be some grand gesture,  just a simple single thing that, when added up with all the other simple little things, could change the world.  One pledge at a time.
