Congratulations! You have been chosen as a participant in the National Youth Commission-MTV Alliance. This partnership between government and private industry has been formed to affirm the role of the Bill of Rights in lives of young Americans.

America, a country rich in diversity and a leader in human rights, is the greatest social experiment in history. It is incumbent upon America's youth to lead democracy into the 21st century if this country is to continue to be successful. The complex issues of our society and the world must be made relevant to the lives of young people and apathy must be erased.

In a world with so many complex issues it is admirable that you, as a representative of today's youth, have accepted the challenge of the National Youth Commission and MTV to produce a campaign for political and social involvement of today's youth.

On behalf of our government and its people, I thank you for the time and effort you are willing to give.
