V Demo at Kerry’s House after Oct. ! Conference:
Those in favor feel it is part of an inside outside strategy.
Activists need to do what they can to reach him - This is an opportunity
Deep concern over possibility that he will give ground on Soc.Sec. and Medicaid
Want him to represent the people of MA and end the wars.
Others hesitant about going to his house. Respect for privacy. Feel the timing
is not right-
Need to build the popular support before, Try to get him to listen first.
