Wellstone Action!

Obama has helped to usher in a new era in politics with a new mandate for change.  But he also brings with him into office a new American ethos for citizenship and service.  That spirit reminds me, perhaps unsurprisingly, of the work of community organizers.

When we heard that the final presidential debate would take place at Hofstra University, we were excited.  Campus Camp Wellstone has been to Hofstra twice to train progressive students on grassroots organizing.  We caught up with Isabelle Goodman, a CCW alum, to hear how students organized in response to the debate. 

Next up is Kevin Killer, a 29 year old alum and trainer running for the South Dakota House.

Newsweek released a poll on Monday showing Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama in a dead heat.  But not among my generation.
