You three have sworn an oath to protect the Constitution. I believe your constituents expect you to defend not only the Constitution but also us. We believe the system of checks and balances enshrined in our Constitution must be protected. We believe you should take leadership roles in the effort to ensure that happens and stop the president’s unlawful dismantling of programs and organizations. Most of those organizations impacted are designed to help your constituents and others who are otherwise adversely affected.
We also believe you should fight to keep our personal information protected. Allowing individuals who have not been vetted for security clearances to access databases such as those of the Social Security Administration, Medicare and Medicaid, Internal Revenue Service, and others is a huge mistake, putting us all at risk of identity theft. More importantly, you should be preventing the placement of unqualified, inexperienced people in leadership positions at departments and organizations meant to protect us from terrorism and other threats to our safety and democracy.
Finally, using politics as a litmus test for whether a state or an organization deserves federal assistance or protection is doing exactly what the current president accused his predecessors of doing. Services provided by FEMA, the FBI, and our armed services should not be politicized. Please put a stop to this method of government decision-making.
Respectfully,
Your constituent

Well said and pretty much what I have been saying to all three of our elected officials for the past month. I have yet to receive any feedback from Vern Buchanan (even when I indicate I would like a reply).
If these "leaders" are afraid of Trump - please - let's get new leaders.

Well stated. Our elected officials took an oath to defend the Constitution. It is critical that they do so...and stop the pandering to a "President" who is more committed to Putin than the rule of law. Musk was not elected or vetted, yet bought his influence in donating and providing propaganda in Trump's election. Time to stop the coup! Ruth Lawler
