This is a press release courtesy of the Obama for America campaign
Tomorrow and Saturday, Senator Obama will make his third visit to Oregon to encourage Oregonians to support his campaign to bring change we can believe in to Washington D.C. On Friday, Senator Obama will make stops in the Portland area, Albany and Eugene. He will also be in the state on Saturday.
Obama will visit with Oregonians across the state and invite them to join him in sending a message to Washington that it's time for a change. Barack Obama believes that to bring about real change for working Americans, we need to stand up to the special interests that have been setting the agenda in Washington for too long. At stops across Oregon, Barack Obama will be talking about the real choice working families have - between change or more of the same failed Bush economic policies.
