About the Author

Ben Sheehan

A former award-winning executive producer at Funny Or Die, Sheehan's mission to increase voter participation began in 2016 where he used digital videos to help register 50,000 new voters as executive director of Save the Day. In 2018 he founded OMG WTF (Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, Florida) to teach voters about state executive races during the midterm elections. That project generated Gerrymander Jewelry - a finalist for ?Fast Company?'s World Changing Ideas 2019 - and now ?OMG WTF Does the Constitution Actually Say? ?, an essential primer on how our government was designed to work.Using clear commentary and graphics, Sheehan has annotated the entire Constitution, from its preamble through the amendments, explaining the document's provisions, pointing out its loopholes, and giving readers everything they need to know to become informed, effective voters. ?OMG WTF Does the Constitution Actually Say? ? has been praised by high school civics teachers, constitutional law professors, members of Congress, journalists, entertainment figures, former governors, presidential nominees, and Cabinet officials. A Spanish version is available as well as the companion journal ?OMG WTF Is Gerrymandering? A Journal for Concerned Citizens?.Originally from Washington, D.C., Sheehan graduated magna cum laude from Emory University with a B.A. in Political Science and American Studies and holds an M.A. from New York University in Music Business. In 2018 he was named one of the entertainment industry's "NextGen: 35 Rising Executives Under 35" by ?The Hollywood Reporter?. The digital videos he's been involved with have received over a billion views.
