Sen. Kerry will be delivering a speech tomorrow at Faneuil Hall on the role of dissent in a time of war. This speech will not be televised on C-Span and there will be no live webcasts of this, that I know of, on Saturday. C-Span, reportedly, is taping this for a showing on Sunday evening, but nothing is going out live.
Three of us got press passes from the Senator's office and will be live-blogging this event on DKos starting at around 10:45 am (EST.)
This date wil be the 35th anniversary of the day that John Kerry testified in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and said that famous line: "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake."

The e-mail announcement of the speech from the Senator's office had this line in it:
Decades ago I stood up to the Nixon administration and spoke out for a change of course in Vietnam. Four days from now, I will be delivering a speech at Boston's Faneuil Hall on the critically important topic of war and dissent. It's time to remind America that, when a stubborn president has America headed profoundly in the wrong direction, only citizen action can change our country's course.
Nice setup. We will be live there tomorrow to let you know how this goes. Thanks!
