Senator Ted Kennedy

I congratulate Ned Lamont on his victory in the Democratic primary in Connecticut, and I pledge my enthusiastic support for him in November.

Ned is fighting to take our country in a new direction, both at home and abroad. His victory last night was a clarion call for change.

Connecticut voters turned out yesterday in record numbers to change a failed policy in Iraq, to call for health care for all Americans, to fight for a truly independent judiciary and much more. I believe that November will bring a tidal wave of change that will put this nation back on track so we can begin to build a stronger and safer future for all Americans.
