In lieu of flowers, pass health care reform....
Just heard Brian Williams say that he received an email saying that. I think the best way to honor Ted Kennedy is to make real health care reform happen.

2. I pray that the men and women in the Senate will search their
souls and think about making such a huge difference in so many people's lives. I wish they would all emulate Senator Kennedy in his honor.

3. Yes indeed
Ted was not able to do much in the last few months, but if his passing changes the media narrative to re-ignite a passion for reform once again, then he will have made one last contribution.

6. YES!
That would be the best way to honor his memory! We need real health care reform.
