As voters not just in the 19th district of Southwest Florida but voters around our great nation we are held to a standard by which we are required to follow the laws created by our Government.  Those lawmakers are too required to live by those same laws.  As we have seen in recent days those lawmakers that we elect as our representitaves on Capital Hill are not held to this same standard.  As a voter in the 19th district it has become apparent that holding our own elected officials to the accountability that we as voters should be able to, cannot.  I was greatly dissapointed when I became aware that a recall of a Federal elected official was not possible.  This is troubling because as we have seen they were elected on certain values and a platform to address the real issues that Southwest Florida and the rest of the United States desperately need resolution through legislation.  It is and should be the right of the constituents to have the best person for that job.  We in the 19th district and yes, accross the country have been disenfranchised as a result of our inability to recall our Congressman when he blatantly broke the law.  While in DC this law is a misdemeanor, here in the state of Florida, the state he represents this crime is not only felonious but the price for that crime is is a considerable incarceration,   I am calling upon all voters in the 19th district in Southwest Florida and all voters accross the country to say to our elected officials on the hill enough is enough.  Enough hypocrisy, double standards and enough corruption.  I am asking the Ethics committee this, is this a man that you would trust drug laws, weapons laws and mandatory minimum laws with.  As we have seen with the vote of yea with the mandatory drug testing for SNAP recepients, this standard does not go both ways.  It is incumbent upon our elected officials to hold themselves to a higher standard.  They create the laws for which we are REQUIRED to abide.  They are REQUIRED to do the same. 

Thank you,

Voters of these United States
