Ted Kennedy's Letter to Barack Obama
With great thanks to TPM for their wonderful work tonight. I hope they don't mind that I'm posting this letter in full. It deserves an uninterrupted reading:
Dear Mr. President,
I wanted to write a few final words to you to express my gratitude for your repeated personal kindnesses to me - and one last time, to salute your leadership in giving our country back its future and its truth.
On a personal level, you and Michelle reached out to Vicki, to our family and me in so many different ways. You helped to make these difficult months a happy time in my life.
You also made it a time of hope for me and for our country.
When I thought of all the years, all the battles, and all the memories of my long public life, I felt confident in these closing days that while I will not be there when it happens, you will be the President who at long last signs into law the health care reform that is the great unfinished business of our society. For me, this cause stretched across decades; it has been disappointed, but never finally defeated. It was the cause of my life. And in the past year, the prospect of victory sustained me-and the work of achieving it summoned my energy and determination.
There will be struggles - there always have been - and they are already underway again. But as we moved forward in these months, I learned that you will not yield to calls to retreat - that you will stay with the cause until it is won. I saw your conviction that the time is now and witnessed your unwavering commitment and understanding that health care is a decisive issue for our future prosperity. But you have also reminded all of us that it concerns more than material things; that what we face is above all a moral issue; that at stake are not just the details of policy, but fundamental principles of social justice and the character of our country.
And so because of your vision and resolve, I came to believe that soon, very soon, affordable health coverage will be available to all, in an America where the state of a family's health will never again depend on the amount of a family's wealth. And while I will not see the victory, I was able to look forward and know that we will - yes, we will - fulfill the promise of health care in America as a right and not a privilege.
In closing, let me say again how proud I was to be part of your campaign- and proud as well to play a part in the early months of a new era of high purpose and achievement. I entered public life with a young President who inspired a generation and the world. It gives me great hope that as I leave, another young President inspires another generation and once more on America's behalf inspires the entire world.
So, I wrote this to thank you one last time as a friend- and to stand with you one last time for change and the America we can become.
At the Denver Convention where you were nominated, I said the dream lives on.
And I finished this letter with unshakable faith that the dream will be fulfilled for this generation, and preserved and enlarged for generations to come.
With deep respect and abiding affection,
[Ted]
Earth Cries
wielding fangs of greed
they fraud their future seeds
where old waves break new beach
and once spread a desert
I am LOVE!
I believe Love is An Eternal Everlasting Essence.
A most priceless passion that does not cost a thing.
Though not an ideal, when expressed without questions or qualifiers,
it is the most perfect of humanity's imperfections.
The years and The Struggles have left most Hue-Men
thinking that Love is just two minutes of sexual intercourse.
I fight this theory with every breath I take.
I know not what tomorrow holds, but I do not want it to be holding me wishing
I had said I love you to someone that I care about and no longer can.
I reject in totality that Grown Males and Females cannot be Friends and Love each other.
I believe that it is possible to Love and be in Love with someone's Soul.

Life is BEAUTIFUL - MaMa Gertrude Baines
Posted using ShareThis
Born in Shellman, Georgia, Baines was the third daughter of Jordan (1863–October 23, 1921) and Amelia "Amy" (Daniel) Baines, who were married in Terrell County, Georgia on January 1, 1887. She recalled that her earliest memory was that of a car ride to Canada.[2]
Baines later married Sam Conly at a "very young age" and had a daughter, Annabelle, born in 1909, who died of typhoid fever at age 18. In 1920, Gertrude Conley was recorded in the 1920 census as living in Hartford, Connecticut. She later moved to Ohio, where she worked as a maid at Ohio State University, before moving much later to California. Baines lived at the Western Convalescent Home in Jefferson Park, Los Angeles until her death.[3] She lived on her own until she was 105. According to MSNBC.com, she enjoyed "simple pleasures" of eating a diet of bacon and eggs, and watched shows like The Price Is Right and Jerry Springer.
Baines was a daughter of a man born into slavery and granddaughter of Peter and Avey (or Avie) Ann Bains, former slaves.
Baines voted for Barack Obama in the 2008 U.S. presidential election. The only time she voted in the United States Presidential election prior to voting for Obama was for John F. Kennedy in 1960.[4]
