in a charter jet crash that also took the lives of his wife, Sheila, daughter Marcia, three political aides and the plane's two pilots. Wellstone was 58.
Wellstone's time in the Senate was marked by devotion to liberal causes, including work on affordable health care, family leave, and a new farm bill.Wellstone was popular with his Senate colleagues despite his dedication to progressive principles not shared by all in the Senate of his day. The voice of progressive politics represented by Wellstone is missed, but his legacy lives on in Wellstone Action, the progressive leadership training organization.
RIP, Paul Wellstone, July 21, 1944 - October 25, 2002.
Peace.

I had the pleasure of attending a Wellstone training session in DC many months ago. The experience was invaluable. I recommend any and all with any interest in progressive politics attend one or more of their sessions. The cost is minimal. The interactions and training is maximal.
Peace.
