Whatever your personal ambitions or self interests, please put them on the back burner for the next two years. Work as one with President Obama for the best interests of the United States. Don't let the lobbyists influence you as they dangle money in your face. Keep your sexual proclivities under control. In short be honorable men and women and do the people's work. For most of you this won't be a stretch. But it will only take only one or two incidents of shenanigans or a scandal to give the Republicans ammunition for what will be an endless drumbeat of "we told you so".

Get it right Gentle ladies and Gentlemen, and 2010 could be another banner year for the Democrats. Then build on that so in 2012 Barack Obama won't only be re-elected, but it will be a 50 state sweep. Pursue your own agendas and you may just squander America's last best hope.

Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Reid, our future is in your hands. Don't let power go to your heads. Lead your respective members to work cooperatively with the Obama administration. Let's show America how government of the people, by the people, and for the people really works.

Thank you.
