Chicks Vote and Rock and Stuff! - Page 2

The press release says:

Chicks Rock, Chicks Vote! is part of a broad Rock the Vote strategy to make voter registration ubiquitous on the web in the run-up to the 2004 presidential election. Rock the Vote's new online tool, unveiled with the tag line, "Print it and sign it, lick it and mail it," brings voter registration directly to young people on the web and makes it downright cool.

It's downright cool! Chicks lick it and stick it! In the mail, I mean.

Chicks Rock, Chicks Vote! will target young women because, like all young people, they are less likely to vote than older women. In making the announcement, the Dixie Chicks said, "It is important for young people to know they have the power to Rock the Vote. Only 36% of Americans between the ages of 18-24 voted in the last presidential election. We are involved with Rock the Vote because they are a great avenue for bringing awareness to the issues and getting people to register to vote."

They added, "We also hope this helps you forget all the stupid stuff Natalie said and the fact that she is short and squatty and has secret fantasies about Islamist militants." But I'm the only one who heard that part.
