In scores of campuses across the country this month students celebrate the U.S. Constitution. Through educating their peers on the importance of understanding it and how they can live as active citizens these student leaders are building a movement towards greater civic participation in their generation. Common Cause and Democracy Matters are working together to give young people the tools and support they need to make an impact in how politics will affect their lives. Organizing speaking events with faculty and guest speakers on the importance of what they're doing, a few students have been the headline acts on campuses I have been visiting this week. At Bloomsburg University and St. Francis University, both in rural and small town PA hundreds of other students have stopped by to talk about politics and to register to vote.
