A Tribute to Ted Kennedy

by Tula Connell, Aug 26, 2008

Sen. Edward Kennedy consistently has been the strongest champion in Washington for workers and their unions, for policies that ensure the right of hardworking Americans to support themselves and their families.

Safety on the job. Affordable health care. Secure retirement. Pay that doesn’t discriminate by gender or race. Access to education. Wages that support families. And the freedom to form unions without which these other struggles would be impossible.

Kennedy has led these battles and many more. His speech at the Democratic National Convention in Denver last night shows, once again, the passion behind his belief that America’s working people embody what the world sees as the American Dream.

Watch it.
