Dear Fellow Democrats, 

We did our job and got out and voted blue. We achieved more than we hoped for. Now we need our elected representatives to get together and focus on what Americans need. We need a strong leader, representative of what we voted for. We don’t need battles between a couple of old guys who want control of Congress. We need to look to young and qualified representatives in both houses to be  given the opportunity to lead. We’ve seen what internal battles can do to a party. We cannot allow childish disagreements to prevent us from moving forward with an agenda to better the lives of struggling Americans.  

What needs to be changed is to ensure the safety of our citizens, make healthcare, gas, housing, and food affordable. No, we won’t wake up in January with all issues resolved. We must begin to make changes. For that to happen it’s necessary for our representatives to work together. The best plans and ideas come from groups with a focused goal, not a competition to have the last word. 

So, Democratic leaders, set your egos aside. Find the best and most qualified to work on the  specific issues they campaigned on. We have a majority. There’s enough for everyone to find their niche.  

Don’t let the greed and narcissism of the current administration be the example you follow. Follow the constitution. We are BLUE but first we are AMERICANS
