Over the past year, a group of college students has been working on an initiative in order to increase voter turnout among young Americans and promote a culture of deeper political discourse and responsiveness between politicians and their young constituents. According to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Education, only 25% of young voters (ages 18-29) voted in 2006. Similarly, the United States ranks 139th in a list of democracies that turn out to vote, far behind nations that lack the most basic of infrastructure.
