A Statement of our Mission

At Conservative punk, our mission is simple:

1.To try and inform the young voters of today that identify themselves with the punk scene with the facts, rather than rumor and conspiracy theory.
2. To stretch their political minds by exposing other political ideas outside the usual bi-partisan arena and making them think about what else may be out there (aside from what is heard, read and seen in various forms of media).
3. To provide a forum for nearly all walks of the political spectrum in that their voices, concerns and questions may be presented and subsequently addressed.
4. To encourage today’s younger, burgeoning generation to register to vote and become engaged in politics.
5. To encourage the young voters to draw their own conclusions rather than indoctrinate them to a certain way of thinking (i.e. not buying in to being so close-minded that all your problems are blamed on a single politician or candidate, not becoming a mindless coalition of lost hope based on what others try to jam into your head, etc).
6. To try and bring to light societal issues which are of concern and have consequences to an entire nation, not an individual.
7. To try and nurture the importance of individuality, personal liberties, freedom and civil rights all the while maintaining the importance of teamwork.
8. To try and foil myths surrounding the United States military and the freedoms it protects.
9. To focus on the future of this nation rather than lag behind and wallow in pity when things don’t go your way.

Punk music has been, and still is, one of the most heavy-handed genres of music there is. Unfortunately the topics of such heavy-handed songs are almost always seeped in left wing propaganda, bumper sticker rallying calls and oversimplifications of otherwise complex topics. Unfortunately the websites established by such bands to further their political views don't offer much more by way of information and truth than the music does. We at conservative punk mean to be the foil to this trend. We plan on filling in the gaps. We will offer our own views while still urging young punks to search for their own conclusions. Hopefully in doing so we will energize and excite young people enough to become engaged in politics and exercise their power at the ballot box.
