In his final campaign appearance before Tuesday's election, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama is planning a rally Monday night in Manassas Park.

It will be Obama's 11th trip to the commonwealth since the end of the primary campaign. He began the general election campaign season with Virginia stops in Bristol and Manassas.

The campaign has not released the time and place where Obama will appear.

City officials have not been officially contacted by the Obama camp, but are considering using Signal Hill Park or Manassas Park High School as a rally location if they are, City Manager Mercury T. Payton said.

Campaign officials say Obama will talk about the economy, affordable health care and tax relief for middle class families at the rally.
