    We pray for these men and women whom we have chosen to                                          
    represent us.  They sacrifice their time and their energy because                               
    they believe they have something to offer this great land.  Keep                                
    their vision clear and their hopes alive.  May they receive                                     
    congratulations as well as criticisms and appreciation as well as                               
    accusation.  Strengthen them in trust and cooperation that the                                  
    good of all may rise above self and personal agendas; for thus                                  
    shall our people be served well, now and in years to come.
