Barack Obama may be hard at work on his housing plan, but Brad Pitt wants our commander-in-chief to know he's not alone in the battle to provide affordable housing.

Pitt isn't letting his Africa-bound Ocean's co-stars take all of the gone-good spotlight; the Oscar-winning hottie has been spotted on Capitol Hill this week and is set to talk with Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi this afternoon.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button star plans to talk about his "Make It Right Project," which he launched in New Orleans in 2007. Brad and Make It Right have built affordable and environmentally friendly homes for people in New Orleans' Ninth Ward and he's got big plans for the future of the Louisiana city (where he, Angie and the kids have a home).

What do you think of these Hollywood and Washington heavyweights joining forces? Will they get more done? What should Brad do next to help with ongoing Katrina Rebuilding? Let us know, comment below!
