Thanks PC....I suspected as much.  |
I don't know anything about the PDiddy campaign, but why is it bad if he is behind Kerry?

It's not bad if he's behind Kerry. It IS bad, to return to the topic of this discussion, that he's using a seemingly "good" process, similar to what is being discussed here, getting kids to register, to push his partisan agenda. And no, before you ask, it wouldn't be fair if he was doing this for Bush either. Especially since the supposed purpose of it is to educate kids on the process/importance of voting, like we were discussing with this other example. Not to push a political agenda and influence votes. The idea is to get them registered, not brainwash them into who to vote for. THAT is what is bad.

Well, if you look up what Citizen Change (Vote or Die) is doing, it clearly says it is non-partisan, non-profit. See for yourself

Not confusing at all--think about it. CC most likely WANTED their project to be non-partisan and the original intent to be educate and get the kids to vote and HE is using it for his own partisan agenda. Either that or they're lying.....and are somehow connected to or being funded by, one or the other party.....either way it's wrong and underhanded. SO unusual for this election.
