Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has a new campaign office in Stevens Point and it opened up with a special guest speaker this week.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. addressed the crowd of more than 100 people at the downtown office Wednesday.

He told excited supporters why he feels Obama will bring a welcomed change to every aspect of our country.
“There’s literally no more important issue in the world than getting Obama elected,” Kennedy said. “This country has lost so much prestige, our moral authority. We’ve lost our influence across the globe.”

Also on hand to speak at the opening were state Senator Julie Lassa and Stevens Point Mayor Andrew Halvorson.
