Work with Obama to get things done

I am writing to implore our elected representatives to take a long look at what they are doing to our political system.

Having watched the State of the Union and the Republican caucus meeting, I am again convinced the election of President Obama was the best thing to happen to this country in many years.

However, he can't solve the problems alone. He needs the support of all Democrat, Republican and independent members of both the House and Senate. Please stop all the politics and think of the country you were elected to serve before it's too late.
