Members of the public wishing to attend can sign up for an invitation by clicking on Hillary Clinton's Web site. Invitations will be emailed out later in the week.

This is the second time in recent months that Bill Clinton has visited Oregon to stump for his wife. He promised that his wife would bring about much-needed change in Amercan politics.

"I think she's the best change-maker I ever knew," he said during his Oregon speech, noting her work as a law student to help protect victims of child abuse and as a U.S. senator to get benefits for New York police and firefighters who breathed polluted air after the 9/11 attack.

The former president's campaign swing took him to Portland, Bend and Salem on March 31st, after a visit to Medford the night before. His wife followed with a visit to Oregon the first weekend of April. Then, just over a week later, daughter Chelsea Clinton campaigned for Hillary in Oregon on April 12.
