Dear Congress,
I told myself I wasn't going to write this letter. And then, for some reason, I am writing it. My wife doesn't listen to me when I tell her not to buy new pairs of shoes all the time so why would I listen to myself? But I digress, because digress is such a fun word.
I am a father of three girls. Being the only male in the house, my life is like being in some World War I trench on the western front every day. I try to teach my kids about love and respect and working with each other to share and resolve their problems without arguing. This can be very difficult with the 5 and 7 year olds and don't even get me started in the trials and tribulations of raising a teenager!
I consider myself an American patriot and am opposed to censorship. I also believe in being educated and knowledgeable with what is going on in Washington. With that said, how can I teach my kids about government while also being a good parent and teaching them to find peaceful resolutions when our representatives do nothing but argue, call names and fight. On top of it, you use the rules of our great republic to do wrong against each other.
Members of congress, this isn't a Republican OR Democrat problem. It's a Republican AND Democrat problem. American is not happy with it. It drains a person's energy to watch and brings morale down.
I offer a solution, however. Much of America works for companies who routinely send their employees to team building events. The last one I went to was at Dave and Busters and we all had fun getting to know each other better. Maybe members of congress could all go camping and try some zip lining. Learn to work together. In the long run you'll have fun, make friends and become more productive. Good luck!
Signed,
Tim
