Flights of Angels, Senator. You will be missed by those who loved and admired you. There are few words that can encapsulate how I feel at your passing,so I will, instead, send out a call for your legacy.
Ted Kennedy is gone. He will be mourned by most everyone who reads this blog, and that is as it should be. He showed many of us the way to work for what we believe in, in spite of personal mistakes and many defeats. The Dream can only die if you give up.
Don't let that happen! We need new Lions in our political life. We need the young Progressives to see the future and begin to try to build it. We need present Senators and Congressmen and Congresswomen to stand up for the principles that the Country, not just the Party is built upon. To provide for the Common Good aren't just words, they are a charge from the Founders to their posterity.
Ted Kennedy worked his entire life to make affordable, accessible health care a right and not a consequence of luck, or birth. Time to roar, Congress.
We need new Lions.
