WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Punkvoter.com wrote a letter today to Richard Hayne, Urban Outfitters chairman of the board of directors and president, and called on him to take action.

Grammy-nominated platinum recording artist, Al Jourgensen of Ministry wrote, "Mr. Hayne, I am sure I don't have to give you a history lesson regarding the incredible amount of lives lost fighting for the Right to Vote in America alone. I am shocked and appalled at your recklessness..." Jourgensen continued, "I see your actions as a blatant attempt to quash the efforts of Punkvoter.com, Music for America, Rock the Vote, and other pro- youth vote organizations. It is public knowledge that you contribute to the Republican Party. Could this be the motivation behind your anti-vote strategy to suppress the youth vote you have so much influence over? Shame on you, Mr. Hayne. I know you know better."

Al rocks. Plain and simple.

Al's doing great. I spoke with him not long ago. He's all cleaned up and more or less pretty healthy.
