The group is Third Millenium.  It is not libertarian, but
basically a youth counterpart to Peter Peterson's
Concord Coalition.  The leaders of the group are
also employees in Peterson's business (he's a
big-foot bond trader).  They actually are a little
soft on privatization out of fear it will impede
deficit reduction/surplus maximization.

Should not be confused with the 2030 Center,
also a youth group, who are with the good guys.
