3. Senator Harkin deserves undying gratitude

Feb 2013

for his work leading the effort to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act.

A generous man with a compassionate heart--we don't see that depth of character, compassion, knowledge and political know-how more than two or three times in every generation of senators.

I just hope he knows how much he will be missed, and how much he is appreciated for all that he's done for people with disabilities.
