"A Message From..." seemed to be transcripts from the videos. These were primarily the words of President Obama or Hilary Clinton...famous folks. There are a lot more videos since the books was published, including a number of corporations that chose to participate. Adam Lambert looks especially cool in his video! So the project is continuing to gain a tremendous momentum. Hopefully the book will direct more teens towards tuning in.
