Dear Rep. Ken Buck,

You are my representative and if asked today whether I would vote for you again I would hope to find an alternative. First, I question your judgment based on your now famous letter responding to Todd Watkins about the Jan. 6 defendants. Secondly, I question your prosecutorial presumption about the Jan. 6 defendants where you've stated that “Every single person who organized or participated in the riot must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” You seem to accept all charges and don't seem to believe they are innocent until proven guilty. Third, you're not representing your Republican constituency and in your letter to Mr. Watkins you are instead supporting last year's J6 Democrat Congressional media farce.

I've carefully read your letter that may be legally correct, but you proceed to make a black and white case, completely ignoring any merit for supporting supporting any J6 defendant. You're not just being stubborn, like Chris Christie you're revealing the many ways you're seeking to oppose President Trump even if it means not supporting the current Biden impeachment inquiry. Hence, you're supporting Liz Cheney and the J6 Democrat Congressional inquiry and the maligned J6 evidence they produced. For some reason you don't see the contradiction of selectively accepting any action against the J6 defendants on one hand, but not accepting the abundant evidence for impeaching President Biden on the other.

In conclusion, politically you have found and chosen a terrible letter to make your point that simply demonstrates poor judgment. It's clear that you're pleased with the status of pre-trial detainees and thus you are contributing to the weaponization of our now two-tiered judicial system.
