Live from Kansas City

Hi I'm Sarah Burris, I'm new to Rock the Vote's Rock the Trail and very excited about the project! I'm 26 years old and originally from Oklahoma but I currently live in Kansas City.

I'll never forget my first election. It was 2000 and Al Gore was running against George W. Bush and it took us several days to find out who the winner was and years later there is still debate around it. One could say I came of age in a time filled with speculation about our election system and the accuracy of my vote being counted as it was cast. I've never taken my vote for granted since, because it was only a few people who decided the outcome in 2000.

I'm a huge fan of Christina Aguilera. Her music is great, but more she is a wonderful activist for social causes. The video for Beautiful still makes me cry when I watch it.

I'm eager to report on issues, candidates, and our movement in general. There is a lot of misinformation about young voters and I promise to step up and bring you the truth about what our peeps are up to.
