Although it may be challenging, we have identified a clear path to success: get as many as possible of the 15 million folks who voted for the first time in 2008 back to the polls.

We know that engaging them early in the year is the best way to ensure their participation -- so on the weekend of June 5th, we're kicking off our Vote 2010 program on the ground.

Across the country, OFA volunteers will be knocking on doors and making calls in their communities, reconnecting with first-time 2008 voters and asking them to commit to vote again this November. Can you join in?

There is a Vote 2010 Kick-Off event in Hawthorne starting at 12:00 PM on Saturday -- all you'll need to do is show up ready to make a difference. Here are the details:
