Dear MoveOn member,
The Lion is at rest.
Senator Teddy Kennedy passed away last night and our movement lost a hero. His leadership, his vision, and his passion will never be forgotten.
As we grieve, we must honor his memory and re-dedicate ourselves to his fight. Right now, let’s listen to his words. Below is a powerful video that lots of MoveOn members are passing around this morning:
Tonight, please light a candle in your window to memorialize him.
Tomorrow, as Senator Kennedy said, “…the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.”
Tomorrow, let’s re-commit ourselves to achieving the thing that mattered most to him: Quality, affordable health care for every single American.
Thank you for all you do.

Sue-You’re a member of MoveOn.org? Who would have guessed?
Cheers,
I’m also a member of the Garfield County Republican Party and get their emails too. I rarely agree with either group, but it’s good to keep an eye on what both sides are up to, no?
Let see
Kennedy got kicked out of Harvard for cheating
He cheated on his wife
Took part in the coverup death of his girlfriend while drunk driving
and
Milton Friedman, the Nobel Prize winning economist stated the following in a radio interview in Jan 1996.
“The Federal Reserve definitely caused the Great Depression by contracting the amount of currency in circulation by one-third from 1929 to 1933.”
In only a few weeks from the day of the crash, 3 billion dollars of wealth vanished. Within a year, 40 billion dollars of wealth vanished. However, it did not simply disappear, it just ended up consolidated in fewer and fewer hands, as planned. For example the Kennedys were worth 4 million in 1929, In 1935 after the greatest depression in Americas history, it had increased to over 100 million.
There will be no candle lit in my house tonight.
But I will sleep well.
Kennedy’s life is something like a grand statue in quicksand.
40% of spouses cheat, and back in those days probably more.
Usually upon one’s death, human frailties and personal faults are overlooked and we focus on the positive aspects of a person’s life.
Therefore infowars, you will NOT be invited to my funeral.
Un-inviting people to your own funeral… Now that’s an interesting concept, Sue.
[Kennedy's life is something like a grand statue in quicksand.]
Edward M. Kennedy epitomizes the irony I see among Democrat party faithful and otherwise “Liberal” thinkers, a term detest because in my view its use in this context is a bastardization of epic proportion, but I digress.
Ed references c. 1969 infidelity rates. If that’s what registers as offensive about Kennedy, views like the Manhattan skyline likely do not bother you.
Cheers,

That missing skyline would bother me when I next see it, in the same very disturbing way driving by the blacked out hole in the Pentagon did when I drove by it –very disturbing indeed. Kennedy was a philistine in his personal life in many ways, but yes I whole heartedly support many of his legislated accomplishments. Mitch I am surprised that you would stretch the spectrum of possible feelings for who I am and how I would consider the 9-11 situation and loss of life. I didn’t know anyone who died there or in the WTC but I know people who worked there.
