Such a good man. Rest now, Sen. Lautenburg.

He came back from Retirement to save the seat from the damn Republicans who were trying hard to steal it. We owe him a lot for his sevice, a debt that now sadly can never be repaid.

on YouTube & there were no videos from that period. He was a great speaker.

Guy believed in using the powers of government to make life better for ALL Americans.
World War II vets don't like war, unlike the current leadership, they put some things ahead of money. Human life, for instance.
