Thank you, Senator Kennedy, for helping me get money to pay for college that I never had to repay. I could not have done it without you. :patriot:

9. Yes indeed
Thanks to Senator Kennedy.


Though I will throw in an un-thanks to Bush and his bastards for contracting the program and forcing more people over to taking loans.

10. Yes thank you
My daughter is benefiting from this now. Without it, and all those other "socialist" programs my kid, the one and only to attend a 4 yr school, on both sides of family, wouldn't be able to pursue her dream of becoming a vet. I will NEVER turn my back on a true Dem. Hopefully someone else will try to fill his shoes. We need a fighter now more than ever!!!!
