That is a great article, Ambra!

"In our generation, it seems the key to public appeal is being ambiguous, or being liberal."

I like that sentence, especially.

Great article! You hit the point right on the head-- voter registration is cloaked in a veil of bipartisanship, but the truth is who does the registering, and where, is vitally important. The Rock the Vote people can protest til they are blue in the face-- they are seeking new Democrats, pure and siimple.

But will this ease of registration lead to voting?

I don't think so. Will Our Youth Vote?

everytime cameron diaz opened her mouth on that show, i could see the train wreck coming.

i think that the voter registration kick that "vote or die" is working towards is a good thing. hopefully over the next four years, that group will also do voter education to help people come to their own conclusions on how to vote in an informed matter.

BAM!!!!!!

(That's all I'll say for now...)

Some young conservatives are speaking out. Unfortunately, they're not too terribly "mainstream"...

Still, it's an alternative to MTV's "Rock the Vote"

Aw man, you missed your chance!
