Senator Byrd

Leadership.      Character.      Commitment.

U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd

The Senate is larger than the sum total of its 100 members.  When the duly elected Representatives of the people gather in the Senate chamber, they become much more than the combined intellects, talents, and idiosyncracies of 100 individuals.  They become the living, breathing manifestation of the vision of the Framers -- the guardians of the spirit and the soul of the sovereign people of this nation.
