Actor Bradley Whitford campaigned for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama Monday at Memorial Union and strongly encouraged students to volunteer for the upcoming election.

Whitford, who played the character Josh Lyman in the television show “The West Wing” and appeared in the movie “Billy Madison,” said the election’s outcome will affect the country’s future generations.

“You and your children are going to deal with the consequences of this [election] for the rest of your lives,” he said. However, Whitford cautioned audience members to not become complacent. He said Republicans are adept at using allegations of voter fraud and a “cynical” political machine to win elections.

“I think it’s been hard to run against Republicans for a long time, because they ridiculously have owned God and the flag, and it is really hard to run against that,” Whitford said.

Obama's surge of celebrity backing turns the tables on the Clintons, who have long enjoyed strong support from powerful Hollywood figures. Clinton isn't without her share of Hollywood fans who are working to augment her built-in name recognition ahead of Super Tuesday. Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Ron Howard, America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, Fran Drescher, John Grisham and Magic Johnson have all campaigned on her behalf, helping out with phone banks and making the occasional personal appearance. At a Clinton rally in L.A. on Saturday, such boldface names as Sally Field, Bradley Whitford and Christine Lahti were in attendance.

War talk in Washington is alarming and unnecessary.

We are patriotic Americans who share the belief that Saddam Hussein cannot be allowe d to possess weapons of mass destruction. We support rigorous United Nations we a p o n s inspections to assure Ir aq’s effective disarmament.

Howe ve r, a pre e m p t i ve military invasion of Iraq will harm American national intere s t s . Such a war will increase human suffering, arouse animosity tow a rd our country, incre a s e the likelihood of terrorist attacks, damage the economy, and undermine our moral standing in the world. It will make us less, not more, secure .

We reject the doctrine—a re versal of long-held American tradition—that our country, alone, has the right to launch first-strike attacks.

The valid U.S. and U.N. objective of disarming Saddam Hussein can be achieved thro u g h legal diplomatic means. T h e re is no need for war. Let us instead devote our re s o u rces to i m p roving the security and well-being of people here at home and around the world.
