Welcome to a new day!  As you take your seat and represent your constituents please remember these things:

1. You were probably elected within a close margin so work with your peers on both sides of the isle as if our Republic depended on everyone’s educated input.
2. Base this educated input on facts not feelings.
3. Focus, focus, focus.  Your job is dependent on your performance.  And Yes!  We are watching.
4. Civility should be your middle name 🙂  Don’t be concerned about the President’s behavior because it speaks for itself.
5. You’ve sworn to uphold the U.S. Constitution so read it and apply it to everything you consider.
6. Cultural changes are inevitable…These are better left to the communities from which you came.  Also, change can be infectious when handled conscientiously with everyone involved.
7. Fascism is not a one way street.  Any political party can believe their policies are the best.  Be concerned about any one sided political push or group think.
8. Laws were not meant to be broken or discarded lightly.  Follow them or change them!

Thank you and have a nice term…
