O God, help these Senators to remember Amos,                                  
Chapter 5, verses 11 - 12:                                                     
                                                                               
Therefore because you trample on the poor, and                                
take from them levies of grain; you have built                                 
houses of hewn stone, but you shall not live in                                
them.  You have planted pleasant vineyards; but                                
you shall not drink their wine.                                                
                                                                               
For I know how many are your transgressions, and                              
how great are your sins; you who afflict the                                   
righteous, who take a bribe, and push aside the                                
needy at the gate.			Amen.
