Reply #86: Thanks for posting that Kerry comment, BLM

It really shows so much about who he is and expains the early email that spoke of continuing to fight for what we believed in and asking people to stay involved.

He is fighting for people who don't have what he was given at birth. That these are not just words, can be seen by Vanessa Kerry's comments. After the election, she and her sister were on Larry King. She spoke of how much seeing people who needed the help he represented affected him and others in her family. Her own choices in life to be a doctor and to take an extra year on public health policy echo her dad's comments on public service. On the King show, she was speaking about how much she learned about so many things campaigning with her dad. The love, pride, and respect she expressed for her dad was overwhelming - and from the comments at Boston, it is clear they are mutual as he is obviously instensely proud of her.

In 2004, he mentioned that people need not worry about him not pushing health issues because he had his own "kitchen cabinet" on those issues in Vanessa and Teresa.
