Rock the Vote is officially listed as a non-partisan organization, but you and I both know that if under-informed young people tended to vote Republican there would be no Rock the Vote
when I was 18 , i registered to vote. looking at statements for the various parties on what they stood for, I registered as a conservative. The first piece of political mail I received was a solicitation to join the John Birch society. I did not vote for 10 years.
I looked at Wikipedia page, too. It said the Southern Poverty Law Center lists the group as a “‘Patriot’ group”…..and “Patriot” is supposed to be a bad thing?
I don’t know if it was *called* “Rock the Vote* when I was in college, but the “party” on the quad was the liberals trying to get votes in the upcoming Presidential Election.
They stopped talking to me when they heard I was not yet of voting age.

I used to have fun: My mother-in-law was a Bircher, and my father-in-law was a unionist-socialist.
You could ask them who they were voting for, and return the following week to still hear the arguing!
@2 & 3 – Ok, I just Wikipedia’d the John Birch Society:

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only thing they do is hate communists and oppose everything that communists might even theoretically support.
As a veteran of the Cold War (1985-1991) I don’t see a single thing wrong with that.
Am I missing something?

I joined the Birch John Society. In support of wooden toilet seats.
