Listen to feature audio

One of the organizations that tries to mobilize the youth vote is "Rock the Vote" which is taking its bus tour to Duluth and the Twin Cities starting this weekend. "Rock the Vote" has partnered with MTV since the early 1990s in an effort to increase the political participation of young people. "Rock the Vote" is taking the issue of a military draft to young voters this year. That is despite denials that a draft will occur from both President George W. Bush and his Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry. Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer spoke with Ms. Jehmu Greene, president of "Rock the Vote."
