We who sign this petition believe in, and wish to carry on, the work of Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy, from his tireless efforts to bring about health care for all Americans.
Our desire is to have universal health care for all citizens, or at the very least, to have a public option that would put within reach quality health care for every citizen.
We solidly affirm naming this action, THE TED KENNEDY HEALTH CARE REFORM ACT OF 2009.
As I look ahead, I am strengthened by family and friendship. So many of you have been with me in the happiest days and the hardest days. Together we have known success and seen setbacks, victory and defeat.
But we have never lost our belief that we are all called to a better country and a newer world.
For me, this is a season of hope new hope for a justice and fair prosperity for the many, and not just for the fewAnd this is the cause of my life new hope that we will break the old gridlock and guarantee that every American north, south, east, west, young, old will have decent, quality health care as a fundamental right and not a privilege.

- Count me in .... I am 64, a laid off college professor and haven't had health insurance for 6 years! Even if I had the money to buy it, pre-existing conditions as slight as asthma and urinary stress incontinence have me turned down.

- Health care is a right for all, not just for the rich. I have seen people sick and in pain, who have not seeked medical help,due to not having the funds to pay for it. THIS IS WRONG! Health care for ALL!!

- What history will we leave behind? When your children, or children's children, our nieces, nephews and their children and so many others ask what were we doing when the most important issue of our generation came before us. I'll at least be able to say I did this. I'll do more. pass it on
