Reply #2: I got a call about this last week and have been planning to attend

Since Teddy's death, I have been thinking that this will be an entirely different occasion for Senator Kerry than it was going to be. I agree, I hope attendees will bear that in mind and be respectful of what's going on in our state right now.

I have noticed that publicity about this has been ramping up very gradually -- I got the call from JK's office last week, but it wasn't until this week that Organizing For America sent out an e-mail listing it along with a few other related events. I'm guessing people are trying to keep it low-key to keep the crazies at a minimum. We'll see if it works...

I've been telling friends about it and have a few people set to attend, and I told the nurses and other people at Harvard Vanguard in Somerville yesterday -- figured they might have an opinion or two to air!

JK didn't have to do this and I am so grateful to him for wanting to. I know it will be an amazing discussion.

Hope to see some of you there!
