Letter: A poem for legislators to live by

<p><strong>To the editor:</strong></p><p>To all of Washington I declare</p><p>Serve as you in oath did swear</p><p>America is about us not you</p><p>Why is that fallen from your view</p><p>The Federalist Papers proclaimed how this republic would thrive</p><p>Their sound logic not your sound bytes kept our country alive</p><p>You were once called to serve</p><p>So asking what you can do for your country is what we deserve</p><p>Set your personal agenda aside</p><p>Show us your national pride</p><p>Thank you for your consideration.</p><p><p><strong>Michael E. Pauszek</strong></p><p><p><strong>Franklin</strong></p>
