Letter: A poem for legislators to live by

To the editor:

To all of Washington I declare

Serve as you in oath did swear

America is about us not you

Why is that fallen from your view

The Federalist Papers proclaimed how this republic would thrive

Their sound logic not your sound bytes kept our country alive

You were once called to serve

So asking what you can do for your country is what we deserve

Set your personal agenda aside

Show us your national pride

Thank you for your consideration.
