The Lion of the Senate to stump for Kerry in Iowa!

Kennedy to join Kerry in Iowa
By Glen Johnson - The Boston Globe - 9/13/2003

Senator Edward M. Kennedy will return to the presidential campaign trail later this month when he visits Iowa to stump on behalf of his fellow Massachusetts Democrat, Senator John F. Kerry.

The two will appear together Sept. 27 at rallies and forums focused on health care in the capital city of Des Moines, as well as Blackhawk and Johnson counties, two Democratic strongholds.

Kennedy will also help Kerry kick off an "Iowa Barnstorm" the following week, in which Kerry supporters in all 99 Iowa counties will meet in homes, libraries, theaters, and community centers to plan future campaign events.

Kennedy himself was a candidate for the Democratic nomination in 1980. In recent weeks, he has increased his appearances on Kerry's behalf, hosting a Faneuil Hall rally in which Kerry publicly declared his candidacy and a fund-raising clambake at the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port.
