State Senator Mike Oliverio of Monongalia County has created a message board for "grateful citizens of West Virginia to express their appreciation and gratitude for Senator Robert C. Byrd."
Here's what I'd like to say:
Thank you, Sen. Byrd, for all you have done for West Virginia. While I don't agree with all your policy positions, I've never doubted your commitment to the people of this state or your commitment to the United States constitution.
Whereas so many others go to Washington, D.C. and return home to their state far wealthier, you've spent nearly a lifetime in Washington and made West Virginia, not yourself, wealthier.
And, oh, how I wish the rest of the Senate had had the wisdom to listen to your advice regarding the invasion of Iraq.
(Thank you State Sen. Oliverio for creating the website.)
