Note to Republican Legislators

You have blown it! You failed to look beyond your personal interests and the misguided interests that do not serve the American public. You fit into the category described by an ancient text:

“What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.” [James 4:1-3, Holy Bible, New International Version]

Citizens of the United States of America do not need public servants who are not serving the highest public interests, but rather lining their own pockets. I am personally disgusted with all who fit this category, yet are deceived by the pull of power and riches.
