Punkvoter.com is doing such a great job that Im using a big news piece about their website as the PRE for this week. NARAL Pro-Choice America & PunkVoter.com Launch Youth Outreach PartnershipNation's Leading Punk Bands to Educate Next Generation of Pro-Choice Activists Washington DC - NARAL Pro-Choice America, the leading national advocate of personal privacy and the right to choose, announced today that it will partner with Punkvoter.com, a group of the nations leading punk musicians, as part of its efforts to educate the next generation of leaders about the Bush Administrations ongoing efforts to limit the right to choose, restrict access to contraception and deny young people responsible sex education. The partnership was announced today at Washingtons famed 9:30 Club, where NARAL Pro-Choice America President Kate Michelman appeared at a news conference with members of Pittsburghs Anti-Flag, Gainesvilles Against Me!, Philadelphias None More Black and Chicagos Rise Against. Michelman said: Were working with Punkvoter.com to spread the word to young people about the Bush Administrations relentless attempt to put government into our private lives. By appointing judges who want to criminalize all abortion, limiting access to contraception, and emphasizing so-called abstinence only programs that dont work to prevent teen pregnancy, President Bush has been working from his first day in office to limit reproductive freedom. Young people whove never lived in a time when they didnt have the right to choose shouldnt wake up one day in a world they dont recognize. We know that when young people have the facts, theyll get active to protect their liberty. Justin Sane, lead singer/guitarist for Anti-Flag added, If we don't mobilize now the radical right is only too happy to take us back to the 'good old days' of back alley abortions. None of us can be apathetic about reproductive rights. We must defend a woman's right to choose while she still has it!" Michelman and Sane outlined a plan to distribute information about NARAL Pro-Choice America and the Bush Administrations record on choice via email and the internet, outreach at Punkvoter.com events and other joint efforts over the next ten months. Punkvoter.com is a voter education organization that includes punk musicians and record labels uniting to expose the chaotic policies of the Bush Administration. Punkvoter.com includes Green Day, Foo Fighters, NOFX, Bad Religion, hundreds of musicians and dozens of record labels.
