A Message from the Peter G. Peterson Foundation

Description: Dave Walker, president and CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, sends a message to all Americans about how to educate our elected officials - and ourselves - about fiscal responsibility.

Visit http://www.pgpf.org to learn more.

The Peter G. Peterson Foundation has teamed up with mtvU to create InDebtEd, a new campaign for college students that raises awareness about the dangers of personal and government debt and promotes action to help stop the fiscal crisis in the United States.

Applicants 18-28 years old, individually or in teams, must come up with a creative, original idea for a video game that addresses the nation's fiscal crisis, with a $10,000 prize at stake.

To get more information, or to apply to the contest, go to http://indebted.mtvu.com/the-challenge. And if you're not between the ages of 18-28, forward the site to a friend who is!
