Rock the Vote
(CNN) — With a year to go to the 2004 general elections, Democratic presidential nomination candidates will get a chance to connect with young voters Tuesday night during a 90-minute forum aired live and sponsored by CNN and Rock the Vote at historic Faneuil Hall in Boston, Massachusetts.
Of the nine candidates, only Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri is scheduled not to participate.
Boston was chosen because it’s the chosen site of the Democratic National Convention in July.
Faneuil Hall is known as the “Cradle of Liberty” because protests there of British policies helped spur the movement to national independence.
Tuesday’s forum, dubbed “America Rocks the Vote” and moderated by CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, the event is designed with a town-hall format, candidates answering live questions from the audience.
Thousands of questions have also been submitted via wireless devices and the Internet.
CNN, tonight, 7 p.m. Eastern / 6 p.m. Central.
