Congressman Deutch,

If, as you say in the mini Op-Ed section of Sunday’s Sun Sentinel, ”Republicans are undermining Democracy…by ignoring the 73% of Floridians who voted in favor of solar power”, would not Logic dictate that ignoring the 62% of Floridians who voted against same sex marriage is another example of Democracy being undermined?

Could this be another example of nullification, as in ignoring a law that you don’t like, by applying it to referenda that you don’t like?

A quick reading of the Founding Fathers shows that they feared the excesses of Democracy because of the mob rule danger. Perhaps you never read that chapter. Or worse, perhaps you did.

As a constituent may I expect the courtesy of a reply?
