November 30, 2011 The Honorable Randy Richardville State Senator State Capitol P.O.

Box 30036 Lansing, MI 48909-7536 Dear Senator Richardville: I am formally filing an ethics complaint with the Michigan Senate against Senator Rick Jones, (R) 24th District, for cyber bullying. I recently received an unsolicited e-mail on Face book from Senator Jones which read, "I hear you are taking head meds, is that true?" (Snapshot below)

This is entirely inappropriate behavior and harassment pure and simple. And it is especially egregious since Senator Jones recently introduced anti-cyber bullying legislation which is now Senate Bill 0124! Citizens should be able to disagree, even passionately, on issues without fear of reprisals or harassment. This is dishonorable and disrespectful behavior from a Senator and violates your own Senate rules as noted in the following: CHAPTER I SECTION 3 LEGISLATIVE CONDUCT AND ETHICS 1.301 LEGISLATIVE CONDUCT of the Michigan Legislative Handbook & Directory states: Each Senator shall conduct himself or herself to justify the confidence placed in him or her by the people and shall, by personal example and admonition to colleagues, maintain the integrity and responsibility of his or her office. I am requesting that you enforce your own rules and that Senator Rick Jones receive the appropriate consequences for his actions. Should you have questions or require further information, please free to contact me. Respectfully,
