Warm best wishes for Senator Ted Kennedy

It was good to see Ted Kennedy leaving the Hospital under his own steam this morning. We can only hope and pray that he and his doctors find a way to beat this malignant brain tumor, whether through surgery or other treatment options. Ted Kennedy is an inspirational and courageous figure in the United States Senate. Kennedy's son Patrick, who represents my congressional district in Rhode Island, has gotten off to a fine start in his own career of public service with guidance from his father. We need more people like Ted Kennedy in politics. Maybe this year we'll elect a new President more in tune with Ted Kennedy's way of thinking!
