Farewell to the Lion


"The future will outlast all of us."

Senator Ted Kennedy








Farewell, our dear friend and champion of causes for all humanity. Every American's life has been enriched in some way by this man's lifetime of work.

Girls can have equal opportunities because of Title 9. People of all colors can vote because of his Voting Rights legislation. And had he been healthier and lived just a little longer, every single American would have been guaranteed health care.

The Lion of the Senate will be missed, for he spoke loudly for those whose voices were otherwise never heard.
