Letter to the editor: Congress is failing us

An open letter to the United States Congress:

To the radicals on the right: You are not conservatives, you are obstructionists.

To the radicals on the left: You may be “woke,” but you are not awake.

Stop acting like a bunch of amateur circus clowns and start doing your damn jobs.

You weren’t elected to continuously make allegations against the opposing party, or hold endless investigations and hearings, or continuously threaten to impeach the president.

You weren’t elected to post self-serving cutesy social media posts and to be in never-ending campaign mode.

You weren’t elected to brainlessly do the bidding of your party’s leadership.

You were elected to serve your constituents.

You were elected to create meaningful legislation that enhances the security of America and the well-being of its citizens.

You were elected to be responsible stewards of the hard-earned tax dollars that citizens pay, not to drive the country into bankruptcy.

You were elected to solve serious issues confronting the nation, including the invasion of millions of illegal aliens, the quickly approaching insolvency of Social Security, and the inconceivably huge and unsustainable national debt, among others.

You were elected to do what is right, not what is easy and self-serving.

You are failing at all the above, and America and its citizens are paying the price!
