Rock the Vote all the Way to the Left

“Rock the Vote’s mission is to engage and build the political power of young people in order to achieve progressive change in our country.

Rock the Vote uses music, popular culture and new technologies to engage and incite young people to register and vote in every election. And we give young people the tools to identify, learn about, and take action on the issues that affect their lives, and leverage their power in the political process.

We are creative, effective, and controlled by nobody’s agenda but our own – we tell it like it is and pride ourselves on being a trusted source for information on politics. We empower the 45 million young people in America who want to step up, claim their voice in the political process, and change the way politics is done.” (http://www.rockthevote.com/about/)


Sounds like a good organization, doesn’t it? If one took it at face value (as many people do without a second thought) it would appear to simply be a well-intended outreach for new voters to help them understand the confusing world that they have just entered. They use up to date techniques to keep young people involved and interested. One problem: Everyone has a biased and these people are leaning so far to the left that they should worry about the affectsof gravity taking them to the ground.
Rock the Vote is sponsored by MTV, the popular music channel. MTV is owned by Viacom whose CEO is a self-proclaimed liberal Democrat by the name of Sumner Redstone. With the issues that they support including Health Care, environmental protection, curbing the cost of higher education, and voter education they tend more towards their CEO’s beliefs. They are anything but objective when they have been supported by MoveOn.org (a site funded by George Soros [http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=977] amongst others) and have ties to the Tides Foundation (http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/funderprofile.asp?fndid=5184&category=79) via the Proteus Fund (http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/funderProfile.asp?fndid=5265),People for the American Way (http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6400), Campaign for America’s Future (http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7331), ACORN (http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6968), and many other left-wing organizations.


Before taking the things you see every day at face value, make sure that you research them. Rock the Vote assures their viewers and participants that they are unbiased, but if given half a moment to speak, show their true selves very quickly. Their latest project has been the health care debate, focusing their advertisements in line with the overhaul that Congress has proposed and are about to vote on. (Just a brief warning: there is language in the video).


Young conservatives in America must become more aware of their surroundings and active against them, but nothing can be done if we are not aware of what is happening .
