I'm attempting to clean up a bunch of POV language.

POV/Advert edit?

I've reverted this edit by Generation Joshue (talk · contribs) which appeared under the guise of trying to fix grammar and content accuracy - and while it did some of those things, the edit as a whole appears to have changed the tone of the article towards sounding somewhat WP:POV or like an advertisement. Please feel free to re-add any useful information the edit may have included, while being careful to maintain an encyclopedic tone. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 20:58, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is it partisan or not?

The article says the organization is non-partisan, but then it says that it supports only conservative agendas and candidates. This article screams of being biased and reads more like a fan site.

I recommend that it be cleaned up by someone who does not have an affiliation with the group. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.231.243.155 (talk) 01:50, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How six dozen 12 to 19-year-old homeschooled members of generation joshua helped elect Michele Bachmann

While Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann (R) is well-known for her small army of foster children, it's another group of youngsters that she credits with her 2008 re-election, Mother Jones reported.

It was the nearly six dozen 12 to 19-year-old homeschooled kids who went door to door for Bachmann who helped her hold onto her House seat. The kids were members of Generation Joshua, a group that trains homeschooled kids for political organizing. For Bachmann, who sees herself as the future leader of the Republican Party, these are her would-be future constituents.

Which is why they will again be a force to be reckoned with in her presidential bid.
