U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry and Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino joined Diluvina Vasquez Allard of the Massachusetts Communities Action Network and Dr. James Mandell, president and CEO of Children's, in calling for passage of the law authorizing the State Children's Health Insurance Program.
