Kal Penn, of "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle," "The Namesake," and the TV series "House," is back on the campaign trail in Ohio on Tuesday to get the word out to young students about the importance of volunteering for Barack. A constant on the road to change, Kal will this time be accompanied by Jurnee Smollett, of "Grey's Anatomy," "The Cosby Show," and most recently "The Great Debaters." The duo will hold two organizing meetings tomorrow, in Youngstown and at Kent State University. Details and links to the events on My.BarackObama.com (so you can RSVP!) are below the picture, from Kal's recent campaign stop in Minnesota:

Hundreds of thousands of Ohioans might have watched Barack's nomination acceptance speech on Thursday night, but right now all eyes are glued to the TV for the OSU home opener football game. It's halftime and Ohio State leads Youngstown State 26 - 0.
But that doesn't mean the campaign action has stopped: our student volunteers were registering people at the pre-game festivities, and they'll be registering people all throughout the day, as thousands come in and out of the Shoe. Click here for details on My.BarackObama.com. It's all due to our fantastic student campaign force.
Football and politics may seem to have little in common, but according to sources even Coach Jim Tressel knows about "the fierce urgency of now."
Be a part of that urgency and sign up to volunteer on your campus now.
Go Buckeyes! (meaning ALL Ohioans, of course...)
