DFIA Gathering Honors Kennedy’s Legacy

Thanks to Molly Regan, DFIA Makes the QC Times!
“My call
is to the young of heart, regardless of age,” the candidate said Sunday
afternoon. The young man at the podium referred to a new age of
technology, and “new breakthroughs in weapons of destruction.”
The
politician was John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and the speeches, which were on
videotape, were viewed and discussed by a dozen adults and three
children Sunday afternoon when Democracy for Iowa held a tribute to
JFK. Democracy for Iowa, inspired by the presidential campaign of
Howard Dean, is a political action committee dedicated to supporting
fiscally responsible, socially progressive candidates at all levels of
government.
Discussions,
led by Molly Regan, of Princeton, Iowa, centered on Kennedy’s tenure as
president and his role in history. The event was at the United Steel

the event was scheduled near the 41st anniversary of Kennedy’s
assassination, which [was Monday], the thrust of the program was not his
death, but his legacy.
