ListenTeens Get Out the Vote was created by Thomas Smyers, a senior at Shaker Heights High School in Ohio.

With the recent passing of Congressman Lewis and his grandfather, Thomas believes the torch has been passed to his generation, which must foster democracy by ensuring the right to vote in America.
