Heh, yup, 2nd sentence, thanks for the links .. encouraging the young to vote .. http://www.voteagain2010.com/ .. that's good, eh? .. from in there ..
Too smart to be stopped .. October 1st, 2010
John Stossel of the Fox Business Channel says that some young people are too stupid to vote. We’re glad Andy Bernstein of HeadCount could be on the show to offer an alternative perspective, but believe it or not, he’s been saying this for awhile now. Back in 2008, the Bus Project hit the streets to see if Stossel was right by asking questions about our democracy to both older and younger Americans. As you can see in the video below, the theory just didn’t hold up. Young people could identify Supreme Court justices while their elders only lit up at the sight of Judge Judy.
At the end of the day, we’ll engage you in a discussion about our generation or one-up you with a clever parody. You could say we’re smart like that.
Dick, do you agree with FBC's John Stossel "that some young people are too stupid to vote"? How about some old people? What do you think?
from your 2nd link .. Issue Activism
Campus Progress works on national issue campaigns, including student debt and access to higher education, the Iraq war, climate change, affirmative action, and academic freedom.
Dick, i don't know more detail. How about a specific in those you disagree with them on?
Campus Progress advocates on behalf of young people by lobbying Congress and state governments, and producing media content, trainings, and other work with young people to advance their stances on these issues. On some of these national campaigns, Campus Progress works in coalition with other organizations including the United States Students Association, Student PIRGs, Energy Action Coalition, US Action, MoveOn, American Federation of Teachers, and other advocacy organizations.
There?
Campus Progress also provides action grants to young activists engaging in campaigns on a variety of issues. Action grants include financial support, advice, support, and training. Some trainings focus on teaching young people how to effectively communicate in the media. Action grants have addressed a wide range of issues including LGBT rights, climate change, Sudan divestment, living wages, fair trade, and the death penalty.
Dick, could you offer a specific you have a problem with?
Campus Progress has also organized alternative spring breaks. In 2008, those programs addressed climate change (held in Santa Barbara, CA), the death penalty (Austin, TX), and the war in Iraq (Washington DC). .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campus_Progress
