WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which has spent tens of millions of dollars on television ads to help boost Republican congressional candidates, launched an extensive effort on Monday to mobilize voters.

The pro-business lobbying group unveiled VoteForJobs2012.com, a website designed to educate voters and get them to the polls. The site will include voter registration forms, absentee ballots and polling place locators. It also will include information on House and Senate races and a comparison of the candidates on the issues.

"We are working harder than ever to make sure voters in every state, district and precinct know which candidates have a record of fighting for pro-growth policies that will revitalize our economy and put Americans back to work," said Thomas J. Donohue, president and CEO of the Chamber, in a statement.

The website is part of the Chamber's effort to get out the vote and comes in addition to its wave of television advertising.
