Senator Ted Kennedy diagnosed with a glioblastoma

Our hearts go out to the Senator and his family during this grim news about the glioblastoma found in the Senators brain. Always fatal, this is the worst diagnosis and at the very least, an uncomfortable and very sad end a storied career in the United States Senate.

A friend of labor, the airlines and the middle class, Senator Kennedy has always fought for working families, as an advocate for doing the right thing at the right time.

Senator Kennedy rose above the Kennedy dynasty and became a very strong voice for the people, in nearly 40 years in the Senate. Intense personal pressure to succeed from his famous father and a legacy unheard of in common times, gives Senator Kennedy his own place in history equal to his famous brothers, as he stood firmly for what he always believed was good for the average person...a fighting chance to achieve the American Dream.
