Today we learned with shock and sadness the passing away of Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts a true champion of the poor and working class. many of us knew that this was coming but we did not want to believe it, we wanted to believe that the liberal Lion of the United States Senate would once again come out victorious just as he did with all the other battles he fought through out his remarkable life.Teddy death at the age of 77 ends the remarkable story of three brothers, each of whom made an indelible contribution to American politics. It marks the end of an era, many pundits agree.
Ted Kennedy was the second-longest-serving member of the Senate, after Robert Byrd, of West Virginia, and the third-longest-serving member, ever.
Today is not only a sad day for the people of the great State of Massachusetts, but for the whole country, because today we lost a hero, a friend, and a champion for the people, today was the day the Lion died.
