This article does not source any thing. and is very POV. All information is uncited.

[edit] WHY I removed all unsourcesd uncited material from this article

This entire page did not ettempt to cite one single thing. IF somebody can bring it back, with reliable resources that would be great. As it stood, it was just free advertising for the group. (Very POV, written by PR staff no doubt). I WELCOME YOUR COMMENTS! ````Jimmihoffa —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimmihoffa (talk • contribs) 02:11, 7 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Why I made changes

Here is what was taken out of the article (again): "NYPIRG is New York's largest consumer protection and good government organization. Mission statement:"NYPIRG is a nonprofit, nonpartisan research and advocacy organization established, directed and supported by New York State college and university students. NYPIRG’s staff of lawyers, researchers and organizers works with students and other citizens, developing citizenship skills and shaping public policy. Environmental preservation, consumer protection, higher education, government accountability and social justice are NYPIRG’s principal areas of concern." Membership acquired through the door is most effective to show politicians that they have been informed about an issue."

These statements are very POV and not cited. A Mission statement is not appropriate for an encyclopedia article, and therefore should not be included. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Richprentice (talk • contribs) 00:58, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
