      *“I feel like there is a candidate out there that is very special, completely different from other candidates before him," says actress Tatyana Ali of Sen. Barack Obama and his run for the White House.

      The former star of TV's "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" recently sat down with TheSportsInterview.com to talk about her active role in the Obama campaign.

      "It’s my first time volunteering in a campaign. I got a chance to speak to him, and to hear him speak in person, and to hear his wife speak in person. You get the vibe that they really actually want to help, that they’re not just career politicians," said Ali.

       "They’re not just in it to win. They’re in it to make things better," she adds. "Especially with voter registration and for young people I’ve been going to colleges all over the country.       

       "My parents are immigrants. I am the first generation born here and it’s an amazing blessing. It’s an amazing freedom we have here to be able to vote and be part of the process. I think a lot of times we do get apathetic and feel like we can’t change anything. It’s so important for us to be involved in the system otherwise you can’t complain when things go wrong you know?”
