and let us not forget that HE was the leader in getting the Massachusettes legislation to change the law so that the Republican Governor, Mitt Romney, could nto choose a Republican to replace Senator John Kerry should Mr. Kerry have won the election in 2004 and tried to get the SAME legislature to change the law BACK so the Democrat Governor could name HIS replacement should he not finish his term.

I was then a Cleveland City Councilman recovering from an injury and, somehow, he discovered I was in the hospital and paid a surprise visit to my room. He was visiting hospitals as part of his national effort to raise awareness of the need for reform of our health care system. I was elated to meet him. The visit began a friendship which has spanned four decades, during which time I had the privilege of serving with Senator Kennedy in the United States Congress. His compassion and caring was always personal and always real. When my brother Perry died unexpectedly in December of 2007, Ted Kennedy was one of the first to call with condolences, sharing his sympathetic understanding of what it means to lose a sibling. He had a powerful sensitivity to human emotion and his life writ large the range of human experience: great triumphs and sudden reversals. His tenacity often came against the heavy burden of deep personal tragedy, which enlarged the quality of his spirit, and made his frequent expressions of humor poignant and profound. Yes, he made himself into one of the greatest Senators, with his advocacy for human rights for health care, education and worker protections. But Ted Kennedy was more than a great Senator. He was a great friend." Sincerely. Facebook Twitter MySpace Digg PO Box 110475 | Cleveland | OH | 44111 | 216-252-9000 Forward email This email was sent to [email protected] by [email protected].
