On Friday, January 15, 2010, Martha Coakley held a campaign rally in the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel, less than a week before the scheduled special election, Tuesday, January 19th. Coakley is running against Scott Brown for the US Senate seat for Massachusetts, which was formerly held by the late Ted Kennedy. Kennedy had past away in the middle of his term in 2009 after battling cancer.
Special guests who spoke during the rally included: Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, Senate President Therese Murray, Massachusetts US Senior Senator John Kerry, and Former President Bill Clinton.
During Clinton and Coakley's speeches, they encouraged supporters make donations to the Haiti relief (above image). The former president and his predecessor, George W. Bush, have been appointed leadership roles in the relief efforts and have created the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.
