Because of thier horrible treatment after speaking their minds (oooh boo boo) Dixie Chicks and MTV have temed up with Rock the Vote. A devious little plan to regigster 1000's of ignorant teenagers and 20 somthings.

There was a time when voting was cool. A time when a presidential candidate stumped for support by playing his sax; when MTV, Madonna and R.E.M. were adding to the political discourse and candidates were addressing the concerns of young adults.
A time - a decade ago now - when Rock the Vote, a nonpartisan organization that registers young people to vote, was creating a buzz. Now its leaders say it's their time again, and as the 2004 election nears, they are making plans to elbow back onto the political and pop cultural stage.
Rock the Vote is an organization that is strongly for free expression," Riemer said. The Dixie Chicks, who recently gave $100,000 to the organization for a voter registration Web site, will help spread the group's message online and in TV and radio announcements.
Supplementing the Dixie Chicks campaign is a massive Internet-based voter registration program that debuted last month. The application was designed with graphics and Internet accessibility to appeal to young people.
"The application can take you all the way through the process," Riemer said. Users simply "print it, sign it, lick it and mail it."
[The chicks had better pledge to drive each one of the MTVers to the polls, just a guess, but it's highly doubtful that MTVers will go to the poll without being dragged there.] [Exculding the rabid libs who were brain washed by thier lib parents.] More
