Act

our long-term fiscal mess [1], but many don't know it yet. Others know the problem's there, but think we can put off dealing with it. You can change that.

How? By learning more about the problem [1] and then telling people about it. And we've made it easy. You can face off in interactive budget-balancing games [1], add one of our widgets [1] to your blog or home page, join the @facingup discussion here and on Twitter [2], find us on Facebook, Digg our blog [3], bookmark us with Del.icio.us [4], comment on your own blog, or use any of many other options listed below. The difference between an A-list problem and everything else is just how much people really care.

Take It To The Next Level [6], part of Public Agenda's Citizen's Survival Kit [7].

blogroll [7] is a great resource for this discussion). Our Budget Toolkit [7] will give you a running start. Another way to do it: use our Students Face Up to the Nation's Finances [7] nonpartisan curriculum as a discussion-starter for a community event or series of events to hash out the issues.
