A friend from my days in the U.S. Senate posted the following video to her blog, and I am reposting it as a tribute to this great Senator! I know I was only in Washington, D.C. for a few months, but my respect for Senator Bennett grew everyday that I spent time with his staff (I only interacted with him a handful of times).
In the times when he was not around, Senator Bennett's staff had nothing but kind words to say. I was amazed to see people, who worked for him the entire 18 years he was in the Senate, almost begin crying talking about why they still support him and love him. He was a great leader and an even better representative of Utah--even if they failed to see that during this last primary election season.
Here is Senator Bennett's Farewell Speech:
Regardless, I think that things like this do not happen without reason. Senator Bennett did an awesome job and it's obviously time for new representation. The U.S. Senate is changing. The Republican Party is changing, and I think that means the American people are changing. New things are ahead and we can only hope that it gets better.
Here is a tribute video made for the Senator:

I always thought Senator Bennett was a good man, and I think he got a raw deal.
