Now, the Punk Voter crowd rolls into town for a showcase headlined by local ska-punk outfit Against All Authority, making for one of the cooler evenings during Churchill's monthlong Miami Rock Fest. Spearheaded by NOFX's Fat Mike, Punk Voter is a community aiming to inform young voters of the differences between the candidates. The mission page on its Website, www.punkvoter.com, closes with: "We must remember that today's politicians are servants to their constituents, therefore we must become a true voting force."
