WE ARE THE NEW CONGRESS
 
To you of the old Congress;
You of loud bluster, swagger, and shallow character;
You who exploited the ignorance, intolerance, and fear of others;
You who erected glass ceilings and other barriers to human growth and development;
You who acted without analysis or collaboration;
You who acted for self or special interests, not the greater good:
 
We are the new Congress.
We are the true deep state of your deepest fears.
We are whom you dread.
 
We challenge your traditional assumptions and the status quo.
We bring new virtue, ethics, service, and responsibility to our offices.
We bring probity, transparency, and accountability.
We bring cooperation, consensus, and harmony to our government.
We bring hope and opportunity to the damaged and disadvantaged.
We bring compassion, wisdom, tolerance, and understanding.
We remove barriers to human growth and development.
We bring equitable tax, health, and education programs.
We bring justice and the defense of human rights.
We bring a spirit of national and global unity.
We provide dedicated representation worthy of our people.

We are here to serve, and we are hard at work.
