[CivicAccess-discuss] MySpace IMPACT

[Jennifer Bell]

Change.org is partnering with several groups, including MySpace, to try to bring more visibility for its efforts to set the Obama agenda:

There's a nice counter spin on Tech President here:

What caught my attention on this PR release, particularly, was that MySpace has launched a non-profit effort called MySpace IMPACT for encouraging youth to vote, etc.  This program seems like a direct counterpart to Canada's Apathy is Boring.
