With the midterm elections less than two weeks away, the Democratic National Committee is launching a final, full-force effort to drive people to the polls on election day.
The DNC and Organizing for America, the organization that rallied voters to elect President Obama in 2008, have partnered with Generation44, a Democratic fundraising and outreach group made up mostly of college students and young professionals, to encourage people to vote.
To fulfill this goal, Organizing for America set up new programs that make it easy for anyone to help the campaign, even from home.
Members can join the Vote 2010 Call Team and make calls online (

Or participate in the Commit to Vote Challenge by signing a pledge to vote Democrat and challenging others to do the same via Facebook. (

The goal for volunteers is to make 50 calls per week leading up to the elections, organizers said.
