Actress Ali to campaign for Obama Monday
In Brief
by Robert D'Andrea | News Reporter
Actress Tatyana Ali will visit Mills International Center in the EMU at 2:30 p.m. today to campaign for Sen. Barack Obama.
Ali was best known for her role on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and, more recently, the "Yes We Can" viral video.
She will visit Oregon State University at noon and head to Portland State University at 5:30 p.m.
"Ali will discuss with students why this is a defining moment in their lives and this country and why Senator Obama is the best candidate to turn the page on divisive politics of the past and bring change we can believe in to Washington D.C," according to a press release from the Obama campaign.
"She will help rally supporters and talk about the importance of registering to vote."
Ali's visit comes on the heels of a statewide swing by former President Bill Clinton and an appearance at the University by former Ambassador Joe Wilson, who is campaigning on behalf of Sen. Hillary Clinton.
