Actors for Senator Barack Obama have put their support behind the Senator by traveling to colleges across the state to get students registered to vote.

Ellen Pompeo who currently plays "Meredith Grey" in the show "Grey's Anatomy", and Danielle Panabaker, star of "Shark", spoke to a modest crowd of students this afternoon at East Carolina University.

The women are traveling from campus to campus to encourage college students to vote early.

Since North Carolina is considered a battle ground state in the election, the Obama campaign pays from them to travel to stump for him.

This can also become a scarifice for the actresses who became vocal about their politically views while working on popular T.V. shows.
