Last month, Sarah wrote about the GOP recently pushing a “youth are leaving Obama” narrative. One of the major sources for these conservative columnists is a new ‘youth’ organization called Generation Opportunity. Since its public announcement on June 1, 2011, Generation Opportunity has become one of the largest and fastest growing organizations targeting young Americans through social media, issue education, and grassroots mobilization. Generation Opportunity’ s facebook page – Being American – has rapidly grown to over 650,000 fans. Generation Opportunity Press Release, July 1, 2011 Most of us who are actually in the youth movement had never heard anything about this “largest and fastest growing” youth organization until their press release blitz, and many of us were puzzled by how different their “research” results were from existing research. Out of curiosity, I decided to dig deeper into this organization.
