Youth-Oriented Websites

Bureaucrash.com

A project of the Competitive Enterprise Institute

http://www.bureaucrash.com/

For those interested in reaching out in a nontraditional way, Bureaucrash offers some ideas, especially about youth outreach. The site states, "Bureaucrash is dedicated to fighting the increase of government control over our lives. Our international network of pro-freedom activists works to change the political ideology of our generation through creative activism. While most youth politics supports the growth of the already bloated government bureaucracy, we fight for personal freedom, free trade and limited government." Another self-description: "Bureaucrash is an international network of activists of all political persuasions who believe that bloated, sprawling governments and the bureaucrats and politicians who control them ought to be mocked. Mercilessly."

CapitalistChicks.com

http://capitalistchicks.com/

Serious, but hardly stodgy site for girls, gals, women and, yes, chicks (the site was founded by a mother and her daughter). The site reads, "Capitalist. Say the word and what image comes to most minds: a grey-haired, sour-faced man in an expensive Italian business suit? Pu-leeze!!!! I've seen today's Capitalists. They are younger than ever. They are ambitious and hardworking. They wear mini skirts, track pants and Silver Tab jeans. This gross misperception needs to change...."

We believe that Capitalism is the only moral and practical economic system. Only Capitalism offers individuals the opportunity to create, produce and exchange freely with others. It is the only system that recognizes individualism and protects the freedom of independent minds."
