Max Kennedy, son of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, told Democratic volunteers assembled in a church hall Wednesday, Oct. 1, that this is the most important election of his lifetime.
"The stakes have never been higher," Kennedy told roughly 35 Sen. Barack Obama supporters at Mt. Zion Apostolic Temple. "The last eight years has become a steady and resolute assault on the Democratic Party, which means a steady and resolute assault on labor."
Kennedy talked briefly about his family's commitment to the Democratic Party — being nephew of America's 35th president and the ninth son of a man who may have become president himself if he wasn't assassinated in 1968 — totaling 88 years working for labor issues.
It was a fiery call to arms, ending with the whole room shouting, "Fired up, ready to go." Kennedy said the party's goal is to get one third of the electorate to the polls in the next six days, before a window closes allowing voters to register and vote the same day.
"If we win Ohio, I guarantee we will win Pennsylvania and Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States," Kennedy said.
