Wayne Kramer, guitarist for legendary Detroit proto-punks the MC5, knows a thing or two about the point where rock & roll and politics meet. In the late Sixties, the MC5 were the house band for the White Panthers political party, and they performed amidst the chaos of Chicago's notorious 1968 Democratic Convention. It's little shock, then, that when Punkvoter -- a political action group founded by Fat Mike of NOFX -- came to Iowa for the year's first Democratic caucus, Kramer was there leading the charge. Punkvoter aims to educate young voters and motivate them to use their voting power come election day. "If young people are one quarter of the voting power in this country, they have the power to change the world," says Kramer. "But they've got to get in on the process." Punkvoter's Iowa delegation included members of Anti-Flag, Rise Against and Faith No More, who took their case directly to the Democratic candidates.
