Politicians need to put their country first

We wholeheartedly agree with Fabrizio Griguoli’s letter (“U.S. politics needs more than just two major parties,” Aug. 2).

If politicians worked to represent the nation first — rather than their religion, ideologies, pocketbooks and lifestyles — there would be a lot more accomplished.

There should be term limits on all federal positions, Senate, House — everybody.

Griguoli, 40 years a U.S. citizen, you have done your homework and get an A+.

Michael and Brendasue Sassard, Paso Robles
