Kid Rock launches voter registration non-profit

• http://www.rawstory.com, Janice Williams

The rock star, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, addressed inquiries about his potential Senate bid on his website, KidRock.com, on Wednesday and wrote he was going to spend the upcoming months "exploring" his candidacy for the U.S. Senate.

In the meantime, though, Rock said he was going to get Michiganders excited for the next election by launching a non-profit organization aimed at promoting voter registration.

"The one thing I've seen over and over is that although people are unhappy with the government, too few are even registered to vote or do anything about it," Rock wrote. "We have over a year left until an actual election. So my first order of business is to get people engaged and registered to vote while continuing to put out my ideas on ways to help working class people in Michigan and America all while still calling out these jacka** lawyers who call themselves politicians."
