Edward M. Kennedy: “I look forward to continuing our work together to improve our Nation's schools.”

I have come here tonight to stand with you, to change America, to restore its future, to rise to our best ideals, and to elect Barack Obama president of the United States.

Senator Edward Kennedy wants officials in Massachusetts to make it easier for his senate seat to be temporarily filled if it becomes vacant.

Writing this letter is not easy, even after 3 years.

This November, the torch will be passed again to a new generation of Americans. So with Barack Obama and for you and for me, our country will be committed to his cause. And the dream lives on.
