Rock The Vote tour tells young adults to speak up

AUBURN - Since its founding in 1990, Rock The Vote has used celebrities from movies, sports, music and television to spread the message to young adults on just how important it is to not just register but to exercise their right and make their voices heard.

It's an effort that gains more momentum during each presidential election. An estimated 1.2 million voters used Rock The Vote in 2004 to register.

On Thursday evening, Rachel Robinson, a cast member of MTV's Real World/Road Rules Challenges visited Cayuga Community College as part of the Rock The Vote tour encouraging young adults to register and that they are informed when they go to the polls.
