News Scoop: Kerry to Join Press Conference on Electoral Reform Tomorrow
I have received word from a trusted source that John Kerry will be joining Barbara Boxer, Stephanie Tubbs Jones, and Hilary Clinton in a major press conference on Electoral Reform tomorrow at 12:45.

Word has it, that Kerry will be revealing tomorrow during the press conference, that his email sent to supporters through JohnKerry.com on January 5th urging them to call Senator Leader Bill Frist and House Speaker Dennis Hastert and “demand that Congress commit itself this year to reforming the electoral system,” resulted in over 35,000 phone calls to their offices. The buzz that day on the blogs was that we shut down the phone lines to both offices.

2. I was one of those making the call base on his email w/ others
I am happy to see Kerry jumping in, puts more credibility to it for the candidate to join in though moving on with or without him as well. I love to see the Dems coming to life at long last.

:kick:

10. I'll wait to cheer until I hear what he has in mind
Trying to get federal guidelines written by the EAC isn't going to cut it, so let's hope that's not what he's doing.
