This week in the Senate, Senator Kerry held a hearing on Business Start-up Hurdles in Underserved Communities: Access to Venture Capital and Entrepreneurship Training, which you can watch from the Small Business Committee website, and held a roundtable on Opportunities and Challenges for Women Entrepreneurs on the 20th Anniversary of the Women's Business Ownership Act. He remarked on Bush's failures in Afghanistan and Pakistan, called for humanitarian aid for Haiti, and secured funds for anti-drug programs. Georgia has picked up on some pending Kerry legislation on high speed rail, and one of their Senators is latching onto JK's plan, which is great news. If you've ever tried to drive in Atlanta, you know what I mean.
At home in Massachusetts, he continued to gather endorsements for his Senate race from the Gloucester Daily Times, the Newburyport Daily News, the Nantucket Independent, the Milford Daily News, the National Organization of Women, the National Association of Social Workers, and the Boston Globe. There are more, but the point is, we need to reelect JK to the Senate. Besides, he asked, and that's important.
The Senator spoke at a fire fighters' memorial on Sept 11, attended a picnic in Hopkinton, and a fair in West Springfield, welcomed home National Guard members in Worcester, and helped open a biotech facility. He responded to distortions from his primary opponent and and attack from his Republican challenger.
Teresa made the news as well, as Heinz Awards were announced.
Primary election day is tomorrow and we've got work to do, so enjoy the news and don't forget to vote.
