CYD Convention Recap
Paul Campos Makes HeadlinesSpeaking at our convention on how the media frames political stories, Paul Campos incited a flurry of headlines across the nation when he commented on Anne Coulter's recent attack on Presidential Candidate John Edwards. Regardless of his personal views, Paul Campos is not only a highly regarded Professor of Law at University of Colorado, he is also a welcomed speaker our next convention.
