Democratic Senator John Kerry is set to speak at a rally in Milwaukee Tuesday to encourage people to vote early for Barack Obama.

Kerry will speak at 9 a.m. Tuesday at Red Arrow Park near City Hall in downtown Milwaukee.

Kerry, the Democratic Party's presidential nominee in 2004, will also hold rallies in Oshkosh, Madison and Mineral Point.

Obama supporters will be encouraged to go to the Zeidler Municipal Building after the Milwaukee rally to cast their ballots early.
