Okay so they softened their name, the League of Pissed Off Voters is now the League of Young Voters. Easier to get in the paper if you play nicer.
The League of Young Voters is 20 and 30 somethings who are actively organizing to make politics relevant, fun and meaningful to young people. The League meets young people where they are, works on issues that affect their lives, and provide tools and training to make them viable players and winners in the political game.

Coming to a campus Near You
Submitted by Blue South on Mon, 02/26/2007 - 4:02pm.Coming soon, to a campus near you, Campus Camp Wellstone. In 2003, just months after the death of Senator Wellstone, the Wellstone Action center was started. Its mission has been to educate progressive activists on how to organize grassroots campaigns.
Wellstone Action has sponsored Camp Wellstones in 29 states, training 9,300 people in the nuts and bolts of effective political action. Since 2004, 35 Camp Wellstone graduates have won elective office and thousands of others worked on campaigns or issue organizing efforts.
