U. S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) will spend this weekend in New Hampshire campaigning for Barack Obama.

Klobuchar is scheduled to attend events in Portsmouth, Somersworth, Dover and Rochester.

"As a member of the U.S. Senate, Amy Klobuchar has had first-hand experience when it comes to working with Senator Obama on the critical issues facing this country," said Sandra Abrevaya, Obama's New Hampshire communications director.  "Senator Klobuchar knows the stark contrasts between these two candidates and will encourage New Hampshire voters to get out the vote in support of Barack Obama.  We welcome her to the Granite State to help spread Senator Obama's message of change and energize voters to support him on November 4th."
