Dixie Chicks Go Political
Kudos to the Dixie Chicks who have joined the Rock the Vote campaign to get the youth vote out.
The group's involvement with Rock the Vote, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization founded in 1990, is an indirect result of the Bush uproar. "We never had intentions to become a political band but like it or not we have been placed on a unique political platform in the past months," Maines said Monday. "We feel it would be irresponsible not to make something positive come out of that."
Besides lending their images and music to a Rock the Vote Web site that will guide people through the voter registration process, bandmates Maines, Martie Maguire and Emily Robison said they would urge people at their concerts to become politically active.
