Paul Wellstone's sons David and Mark have formed Wellstone Action, "a non-profit organization dedicated to continuing Paul and Sheila Wellstone's fight for progressive change and economic justice." One of their main goals is

to train and motivate thousands of people around the country to be active in politics and organizing. Wellstone Action will teach the distinctive Wellstone approach to politics. This approach integrates progressive ideals, ethical leadership and community organizing principles with a populist approach to electoral politics.

Wellstone was that too-rare thing, a genuinely good person who won elections. This seems like a good way to honor his memory.
