<p>Mother Jones Releases Annual Campus Activism Roundup </p>
<p>SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29 (AScribe Newswire) -- Mother Jones magazine today released its 12th annual roundup of college campus activism, naming the group filibuster mounted by Princeton students in response to the GOP's nuclear option threat the Protest of the Year; Nate Wright, co-founder of Students Taking Action Now: Darfur (STAND), Student Activist of the Year; and the "Boot the Bell" campaign, on behalf of Florida tomato pickers, the Victory of the Year. </p>
<p>Protest of the Year: Initiated when eight students in cheap suits gathered in front of Princeton's Frist Campus Center to give dramatic readings of the campus phone book, the protest against Princeton alum Bill Frist's threat to go nuclear in the battle over judicial appointments quickly picked up steam and spread to 50 campuses in 35 states, from UCLA to Bates College. The 348-hour Princeton gabfest ended with a "fili-bus-tour" to Washington, D.C., where guest bloviators Senators Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Jon Corzine (D-N.J.) joined in. </p>
