Open the doors of Congress to a little fresh air and sunshine

He says Tea Party candidates don't pose much of a threat. Again, a Republican leader being divisive rather than inclusive. Isn't it sad that we cannot have a civil discussion over matters where we have differences without being dismissive and confrontational? Achieving compromise that everyone can live with is grueling work. It requires checking egos and agendas at the door. It requires open minds. It requires patience, tenacity, and commitment. At present, our government is driven by special interests. It is sinking by nearly every honest measure. We are floundering on the international stage. Yet, career politicians - who created and allowed the situation - are rabidly against new candidates and ideas. I would ask them; can new blood make it any worse? Let's open the doors of Congress to a little fresh air and sunshine. Sincerely, Verna Rock
