Today, at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, a three-hour tribute took place for the Honorable Senator Ted Kennedy, who is now in a much better place.
Ted Kennedy, of Massachussetts, has had a record of fighting for great legislations that brought improvements to the nation. One of his main concerns was health coverage for ALL Americans.
At the Democratic National Convention, Ted Kennedy stated that health coverage should be given to "every American, north, south, east, west, young, [and] old", not as a "privilage", but as a "fundamental right!"
To what I have seen on TV, and read in LA Times, many congressional leaders believe that Congress should give health care as a right for every American, in honor of Sen. Ted Kennedy.
Some of the guests who attended this tribute where among: Sen. John McCain, Sen. Orrin Hatch, Sen. Christopher Dodd, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg (JFK's Duaghter), Vice President Joe Biden, his nephew Representative Joseph Kennedy (Son of RFK), as well as Sen. John Kerry, and the living former presidents,except George H.W. Bush, that were in office while Kennedy was in the Senate.
I personally met his Senior Education Advisor, from the HELP Committee, hopefuly i will get to contact him, and maybe get to interview him and get to know a little more about Sen.Ted Kennedy.
