Lady Gaga was vocal in the 2012 election, asking fans for their opinions and encouraging them to vote.  She's so political and inspiring that we even created a quiz, asking who said the quote: Mother Monster or President Barack Obama?! Off in Twitterland she shot her millions of Tweeps a question about what they wanted in a president, and also made the hashtag #VoteWithYourRightsNotYourWallet. Some fans joked they just wanted Gaga as president. But would she be known as prez Gaga or Germanotta?!

As a native and proud New Yorker (Aren't they all?!), Gaga was devastated to see the destruction Hurricane Sandy brought. She Tweeted words of support and love, but she also put her money where her mouth was by donating one million dollars to the Red Cross.
