H.L. Demond of Editoriality points out in a recent editorial that Rock the Vote is putting out partisan propaganda. Demond writes:

I was rather dismayed by a "public service" commercial I saw for "Rock the Vote." The youngster in the ad says (I paraphrase): "I should be able to determine if my older brother goes to war, how much my grandmother receives in Social Security, and who I can marry." Why not say, "I should be able to determine how much I pay in taxes, how to protect our borders, and how to protect the rights of the unborn"? Kids may not be able to perceive the couched attempt to attack President Bush, but I sure did. What better way to spread propaganda than by plucking the country’s youth’s heartstrings?

But wait, there's more!

The environment section calls for students to "Help Save the Artic[sic] National Wildlife Refuge" by going to www.savearcticrefuge.org. It's a miracle that they got the URL correct. Other links include the following:

"Economy"
Quotes the page:

The current job market is one of the worst in memory if you are a young adult. Whether you are leaving high school or college, jobs are scarce and debt is through the roof. Wages are low. Health care and retirement benefits are gone. If you ever doubted the impact of government policy on your life, look at the unemployment figures.

Citations, please? Here's the links:

AFL-CIO, www.aflcio.org
Campaign for America’s Future, www.ourfuture.org
UC Berkeley Labor Center Program on Young Workers, http://laborcenter.berkeley.edu

"Debt"
At first sight, they had me fooled. This must be about the national debt, right? Nope. It's about unconsitutional entitlements for college students. The page even demands that the government give financial aid to students convicted on drug offenses. Quoth the idiots:

07/03/03: Repeal H.R. 685
Send an elected official an e-mail in support of H.R.685 which repeals the HEA Drug Provision. This provision denies federal aid to any student convicted of a drug offense. To learn more about this legislation and send your support, visit http://ga0.org/campaign/.

Okay, so do you want it passed or failed. I'm confused. Their stance on the issue is clear, though. Here's the rest of the links. Yes, they do get to the national debt, which is in a large part caused by such unconstitutional entitlements!:

Bank Rate, www.bankrate.com
FinAid, www.finaid.org
Jump Start Coalition for Personal Finance Literacy, www.jumpstart.org
Raise Your Voice, www.raiseyourvoice.com
U.S. National Debt Clock, www.brillig.com/debt_clock/

Oh, and might I add that the organization was started by none other than the RECORDING INDUSTRY?!?! Sounds non-partisan to me!
