A response from my Representative, do you recall on one of my post awhile back Candice Miller's is known for this phrase, "We are a Nation of Laws".
Dear Mr. Ojibwa:
Thank you for contacting me regarding recent developments about questionable activities within the Executive Branch. I appreciate hearing from you on these issues, and I am pleased for the opportunity to respond to your concerns.
As you know, recent investigations have uncovered several questionable situations involving the Executive Branch, including the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Department of Justice (DOJ), and the investigation into the September 11, 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya. In May of 2013, after several hours of Congressional testimony, current and former IRS officials admitted to deliberately targeting conservative political groups seeking tax-exemption status from the IRS. Furthermore, the Associated Press (AP) broke a story on the DOJ secretly subpoenaing the phone records of AP reporters, and Fox News soon thereafter reported on a similar secret investigation involving Fox News Chief White House Correspondent James Rosen. Finally, top State Department officials testified before Congress in May of 2013 that Obama Administration officials knowingly misled the public in their initial account of the terror attack in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012.
I firmly believe that the people should have confidence that our government is acting in their best interests, being truthful about its activities, and acting within the bounds of our Constitution.
We are a nation of laws, and no individual or group is above the rule of law, including the government. Everyone who serves in government takes an oath to preserve, protect and defend our Constitution, and it is a responsibility that must be taken seriously.
My colleagues and I in House of Representatives are moving forward with several Congressional hearings in order to uncover the truth and pursue justice with regard to these issues. I can assure you we will do our duty to protect the Constitution and provide the American people with the truth. I will monitor these issues closely as these situations continue to unfold, and I will be sure to keep your concerns in mind.
Again, thank you for your correspondence. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. If you would like to stay up to date on issues in Congress and how they affect you, please sign up to receive my e-newsletter, The Washington Connection, at candicemiller.house.gov. It has all the information you need about current events in our nation's capital and their impact on Michigan's 10th Congressional District.
P.S. It is my sincere honor to represent you in Congress. My principal focus is making sure that we are addressing job creation and the economy, protecting our freedoms and expanding liberty. Thank you for taking the time to provide me with your input on helping to make our district and our nation stronger for the next generation.
