Rock the Vote Crumbles

The Rock the Vote movement, which began in 1990 in an effort to get young people to register to vote for any candidate they wished as long as it was a Democrat, is in dire straights.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Rock the Vote is the proud owner of $700,000 in debt, and the group has cut its staff from 20 people in 2004 to just two today.

The people, and if the trend continues, person, who now run Rock the Vote have said that the public has the impression that because of the high profile nature of the celebrities who publicly endorse Rock the Vote, the group already has plenty of money and there's no reason to donate.
