It is time for Congress to step up and take on the role of
leadership. It is time for congress to
stop playing childish games and really lead this country out of its current dilemma.
The spirit of solidarity shown in the
speeches on Wednesday and the baseball game last night was inspiring, but now
they need to be backed up with action. This is not a partisan issue. It is a national
crisis. It Is time to push away the party lines and work for the good of the
country.
Stop the hateful, half-truths, used to promote your side of
the issue and realize there is only one right side. That is the side that works
for the whole. It will be a compromise and it will not leave anyone’s views
out.
This government was designed to work with party friction as
a motivator, not a road block. The debates that separate the wheat from the
chaff in the Senate and the House are familiar to you. You know one another on
many levels. You present your argument and meet for a beer. The rest of the country
consists of millions of people who don’t know each other on a personal level.
When your talk pits us against each other, some are sure to take it too far.
Tone down the rhetoric, please. This is your opportunity to
lead with compassion and understanding. This is your chance to show all the
people that you are working for the common good, the good of the country, not
just one party. And you need to take that into everything you do in office. You
need to do this now, because we have a long, unpredictably hot summer ahead of
us. We must have leadership to keep the country cool and calm.
