TRIBUTES

Change to Win

American workers have lost one of their greatest champions and our country has lost a great leader. Senator Ted Kennedy was a lifelong advocate for the values and ideals of the American Dream. He was a stalwart – lion of the Senate – giving a voice and hope to all working families. He led the fights that have the biggest impact on providing greater economic security and opportunity for all: from giving workers the right to have a voice at work, to raising the minimum wage and worker safety standards, to creating comprehensive immigration reform.

Sen. Kennedy dreamed of a nation of progress where justice, fairness and opportunity for all laid at the heart. The most fitting tribute to honoring the life and legacy of this great statesman is for Congress to pass quality affordable health care for all this year.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Vicki, his children and the rest of the Kennedy family.
