    • Edward M. Kennedy was person of great understanding, deep commitment, and a true believer of Democracy. He was an inspiration to those that knew him, a father, a teacher, a mentor and a sailor. As navigator in stormy seas, he learned the skills that would make him a master negotiator par excellence. He was a man that lived by experience, and lead by example. He was a grounding rod, his clear voice, steady hand, and sharp vision always pointed the way for others to follow. His deep commitment and connection to "all people", never wavered, showing a man whose tireless hard work and dedication and belief in the essence of true Democratic Principals was unsurpassed by either side of the isle.

      In the true spirit of a Democracy we would like to thank Edward M. Kennedy for his tireless work "representing all of the population" not just the few.

      You will be greatly missed.

      Have you noticed you seem to be either the lone dissenting voice or one a few fringe outliers? Wonder why that is? Despite how you feel and what you think it's all just one nut jobs opinion because of little thing called Due Process and the single most important component of our justice system - presumed innocence.
