A Tribute To Senator Ted Kennedy-R.I.P.-Day 17

Hello to all:

I would like to take this opportunity to dedicate this page to a wonderful human being who had a spirit of giving and kindness. We should all pause to celebrate a life interrupted. We might not have agreed with all of his views but his meek spirit should be an example to all of us.

Meek-humbly patient or docile, as under provocation from others.

Senator Ted Kennedy (February 22, 1932-August 25, 2009), served as a United States Senator from November, 1962 until his death. He was the third longest serving senator in U.S. history. He came from the Kennedy dynasty. The family in Massachussetts that produced John and Robert Kennedy, who were slain while serving in office. Senator Kennedy had a progressive spirit.

Progressive-favoring or advocating progress, change, improvement, or reform, as opposed to wishing to maintain things as they are.

Now I understand that there have been alot written about Senator Kennedy. I want to write as a member of the public at large prospective. What I read and know of his actions as a U.S. Senator and as a human being. His legislation touched millions of lives as advancing rights for the people. He believed that all men are created equal and should be given the same and/or equal opportunities regardless of race and/or ethnicity. He championed equal rights and health care, with a vengence, for the average American. These are the people without deep pockets, the people who cannot adequately represent themselves. Kennedy represented in the human spirit what the Bill of Rights represented in the written form. Rights for all Americans, regardless of race, creed or class. He served many people beyond Massachussetts borders, the people he represented by Constitution. Senator Kennedy, in essence, served all Americans. He exemplified the human spirit of concern for others.

He was bold and without fear in his political beliefs even if it meant standing alone. He stood for what he believed, and openly opposed many of his colleagues on many issues. He had a No Fear attitude, and did what he knew to be right. Thank you Senator Kennedy. Because of you, many people now know that tomorrow can bring a better day. You will be missed. But as you so eloquently once said, "the dream lives on." Your spirit Lives on. We love you Senator Kennedy. May you rest in peace. Our hearts and prayers are extended to your family and friends.

R.I.P.

Senator Ted Kennedy
Made in America

Have a great day.
