Response To Senator Rubio

Dear Senator Rubio.

 

I greatly appreciate taking the time to respond to my e-mail. I know how busy you must be standing up for the people of Florida.  As a fellow South Floridian and High School graduate of 1989, I have been proudly following your career, and spirit of service to Floridians and the rest of this nation. You have made all of us very proud.  I really hope to see you in office in the not too distant future.  You can count with my, my family’s, and my circle of influence’s unconditional support if you make that decision.

 

As the history of Cuba and the rest of Latin America has proven, freedom takes work to keep, for in less than a generation, it may be lost. My ancestor Maximo Jerez was a General, ambassador of Nicaragua to the U.S.A, and one of the fathers of democracy in Nicaragua, and I was raised with his democratic principles since childhood; for this reason, I have sworn to defend democratic values wherever I am.

Given this, I believe that it is of extreme importance to protect our religious freedoms, and for this reason, I would like to request that your office contact Florida Attorney General to support my request for an independent investigation of the anomalies I mentioned in my previous e-mail. I believe that your intervention will be essential to prevent this from happening to other in our state. I would like to thank you in advance for all your help. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you, and your family.

Regards,

Mario A. Jimenez, M.D.

“but he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong.” (2 Corinthians 12:9-11).

 

“Y El me ha dicho: Te basta mi gracia, pues mi poder se perfecciona en la debilidad. Por tanto, muy gustosamente me gloriaré más bien en mis debilidades, para que el poder de Cristo more en mí. Por eso me complazco en las debilidades, en insultos, en privaciones, en persecuciones y en angustias por amor a Cristo; porque cuando soy débil, entonces soy fuerte” (2 Corintios 12:9-10).

==============================

Dear Mr. Jimenez,

 

Thank you for contacting me regarding the removal of your children from your custody and religious freedom in the State of Florida. Your concerns are important to me, and I appreciate the opportunity to address this matter.

 

Your original correspondence to Governor Rick Scott and Attorney General Pam Bondi was appropriately directed. I trust that they will review your correspondence and, in turn, respond accordingly.  You may also wish to contact the Florida Bar by phone at (850) 561-5600 regarding your legal rights.

 

Again, thank you for sharing your concerns with me and the opportunity to serve you. I am humbled by my responsibilities in the United States Senate, and I  will continue to work on behalf of our state of Florida .

 

Sincerely,

Marco Rubio
United States Senator
