Draft Kennedy draft drives national push for Kennedy
A liberal Democratic effort seeks to draft Sen Edward Kennedy for the 1980 presidential race, sending a mass mailing to 20 000 to 50 000 supporters. The letter asks for 15 to 100 dollars, aims to build a nationwide support base, and pledges surplus funds to the Kennedy Library. Kennedy says he is unaware of the drive and would not endorse it.
