1. It seems to be non-partisan
it was organized by Washington political operatives Doug Bailey and Mike McCurry. A fundie christian GOPer and Clinton's former Press Secretary.

They have been compared to Rock the Vote and its goal is to make the politicians pay attention to young voters.

Rock the Vote has leanings toward a change in the Oval Office but I really don't know what FA's leanings are.

2. I don't know anything about them except...
what's on the website, but it does look like they are trying to appear non-partisan.

Looking at the supporters, though, it appears fairly "conservative," but in the good sense of the word. There are a lot of people and organizations that may not want to be associated with Rock the Vote and see this as a reasonable alternative.

Instinctively, I would suspect that the Democratic kids would head for Rock the Vote, and the Republican kids work with these guys. But, what do I know...
