On behalf of The Underground, I wish to issue a statement expressing my condolences to the Kennedy family and friends of Sen. Ted Kennedy. Sen. Kennedy was a great statesmen and a tireless champion for those who truly needed a warrior.
This is the time to put aside the divisiveness over health care reform and remember that Sen. Kennedy worked for on this issue for nearly 50 years in office, never seeing it come to fruition as he hoped.
This is the time to mourn the "lion of the senate" as he was called by his colleagues and to celebrate the reforms he did enact - many with bipartisan support.
And this is the time to pay tribute to Sen. Kennedy and truly reach across the aisle, both as legislators and Americans, to see his dreams of health care for all actually come into being.
