For all his foibles, the "liberal lion" of the Democratic Party stood for the poor and the oppressed, indeed, for every person. His legislative achievements included bills to provide health insurance for children of the working poor, the landmark 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, Meals on Wheels for the elderly, abortion clinic access, family leave, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Every American owes a debt of gratitude to this man who gave his life to the Senate; to his country.
