Dear -----,
It's great to be back in the Senate again!
Thanks to you and the support of the Committee for a Democratic Majority, I now have eight terrific new Democratic colleagues in the Senate to help President-elect Obama put our country back on track.
The Inauguration is 11 days away, but the new, stronger Democratic Congress is already hard at work. My colleagues and I have begun work on an ambitious new stimulus package to revive our economy and help America's struggling working families.
I've also begun to lay the groundwork for early action on health reform when President Obama takes office. It's long been one of the great causes of my life -- that every American, regardless of their background, will have good, affordable health care as a fundamental right.
Now we begin the great new test. We made important electoral gains last November, but it won't be easy to reverse the failed policies of the Bush Administration and its allies in Congress.
November's election proved that our Democratic majority doesn't just exist in Washington, D.C. -- it's operating across the country. Working together, we can bring about the change our country needs, and truly define what a Democratic majority means for America.
I'm more optimistic than ever that we'll succeed -- and I'm very grateful for your support.
With much appreciation and all good wishes,
Senator Edward M. Kennedy
