Netroots Nation Panel: Approved!

I just found out that one of the two panels that Jane Fleming Kleeb and I proposed to Netroots Nation was approved. I'll be moderating the panel, which will be called "Youth and Technology: Moving Online Engagement to Offline Activism," or what Josh Levy at Tech President likes to call "onffline" activism.

We had another panel about connecting the different threads of youth activism that was declined. More details to come in the next week or so.

In the meantime, here's some morning reading:

• Apropos of our panel topic, New America Media reports that young voters are putting in serious hours on the ground - not just online - in this campaign. The piece ends on something of a low-note.
• The AP discovers Cafe Press and decides to gauge the candidates support based on swag sales.
• And Fox New remembers the good old days (aka the 1980s) when young people voted Republican. Interesting sidebar to this story, a few weeks back, I sat next to the reporter's mother on an flight to Denver and we started talking about the youth vote. A week later, her daughter was using my talking points in one of her stories. Still no call or citations though . . .
