The fight for health care reform is a generation-defining struggle that must not waver, even with the loss of a great champion. I pledge to do my part and only hope that we can forge the next coalition to finally reach the shore.

Ted Kennedy, the gentleman from Massachusetts, as I pause and review his life now, I can't help but wonder what might this country look like now, had he become president.

Ted Kennedy was the classic American success story who, though sorely tested by adversity and plagued by his own moral shortcomings, found a way to overcome his personal flaws and pain to achieve extraordinary things.

Even those who win one moment can face horrific, brutal loss in the next. The rich and famous are no more spared than the rest of us.

The lesson for Ted Kennedy was a simple one: never, ever give up because if you last long enough things can come around.

Who will be the kind of leader who would stand up for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) concerns like Kennedy did? We lost a loyal friend and a powerful advocate.

The compelling thing about Kennedy is that his style permeated his substance. It was his most profound attribute as both man and politician.

Thank you, Senator Kennedy. May your soul rest in peace. We shall all miss you, Democrats and Republicans alike.

Kennedy's last public act before he died was to write the Massachusetts Democratic leadership and plead for the law that forbids a governor from appointing a senator's successor, be changed.

As Senator Kennedy was finally laid to rest yesterday, the weight of his passing hit me much harder than I thought. I can feel the collective heartbre...

The patriot Sam Adams celebrated the "animated discourse of liberty." Neither Kennedy nor his staff disrespected my own strongly held views on abortion, gay marriage and judicial nominations.

I wonder what the scribes will write about those who have attacked Kennedy and/.or his programs as his family and most of the nation mourned.

The Senate's Last Lion roars no more, but "the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die."

It's not primarily Senator Kennedy's words that make him one of the great defenders of modern liberalism. His life itself is living proof of the central liberal idea that government can help make people's lives better.

Known as the "Lion of the Senate," we counted on Ted to fight for fairness in the workplace and serve as a voice for those whose labor makes this country great.

We should be inspired to honor and fight for the cause of Senator Kennedy's life. The Senate's fighting liberal would not place the fate of affordable health insurance back in the hands of the private sector.

Ted Kennedy was a voice for the voiceless and a true advocate for the fundamental rights of all people -- Americans, as well as those beyond our shores, including refugees and immigrants.
