He did a lot for people, not just the poor or people from Massachusetts, but also for bringing liberals and conservatives together in the Senate to pass laws on education, health care and for people with disabilities.
I agree. The extended Kennedy family has always been fierce in their devotion to the country, championing values and causes that any decent American can be behind. I'd like to put forward this video of Ted Kennedy discussing the inequality of health care in this country and challenge each of us to push for a better future.
Wow, this is such a loss. It's so nice to read everyone's posts here. Edward Kennedy as well as many of the Kennedy family have had so much impact on the world. All I can say is God bless his family and to please hold them closely as they go thru such a difficult time. I was able to see some of the coverage today and was so nice to see the people lined up and cheering as his body was being moved from his home. He must have known he didn't have much time here, because I remember hearing just a few days ago that he was hoping to get someone lined up for his seat in the senate should he not be able to continue on or something should happen to him. What a shame.
a great man
