So Here's To You, Edward Kennedy

For more than forty years, everyone who works in Massachusetts politics has done so in the shadow of  Senator Edward Kennedy and his passing will do little to change that. ActBlue in particular owes him a profound debt of gratitude. When many in the Democratic Party had yet to see the potential of ActBlue, Senator Kennedy offered us his support and became an early champion of our goals.

We were proud to call him our senator and humbled to have his blessing. Today, we celebrate his accomplishments and mourn his loss with the rest of the country.

Cris Sanchez, a former Bernalillo County Sheriffs Commander and who ran against Darren White 7 years ago in the genaral election, announced his canditacy for the 2010 Bernalillo County SHERIFFS Democrat race.

Job well done Senator. Now rest in peace.

Teddy rest in peace. We will never have anyone as committed as you. To me you were a once in a lifetime and I am proud of all you accomplished in the Senate. My proudest moment was in your 1980 campaign for President.
The cause still goes on, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die
We will fight to have your dram come true for all the people.
Dear Senator R I P

I loved Ted Kennedy with all my heart. I'm from MA, where we don't really have to worry much about our Representatives in Congress except that they keep voting to fund the wars, and some may think that President Obama, who is a likeable and smart man, has come up with a real health plan. He won't tell me how much it will cost on average for a single person or a family, but I'm sure that during a Depression, there is little that's affordable. My Comcast TV, Internet, Phone bundle, for instance, or my Credo cell phone that I'm stuck with for 2 years. Thanks former V.P. Gore for pushing through the Telecommunications Act of 1996 which created monopolies throughout the country, and high expenses. Oh, I could rant all day, and have come close to doing it. All fer now.

Thank God Congressman. Wilson does not represent my state. His behavior was absolutely dispicable. He does not deserve to be in congress.

Thanks,

I rise my eyes and hands to heaven and ask my Lord; Make me fear You, so I never cast the stones which bring your righteous judgment upon me. With head bowed and on my knees, I ask my God; Make me your servant and champion of the poor and voiceless, You so love.

Thank you Sen. Kennedy for your service to the country, people and God. Be in the eternal life, peace and rest of our Lord.

How can I support a party that has turned it's back on us just like the right. If they shove this reform plan without getting control of the trial lawyers, the insurance companies and the pharmaceutial companies we might as well loxk the door and hang the out of usiness sign.
