I don't know if anyone will listen, however I just emailed the first lady:

Dear Mrs. Bush,

Perhaps you can help Terri Schiavo. Thirteen years ago, under unexplained circumstances, she became brain injured. Terri is not on life support, however she receives nutrition and hydration through a tube in her stomach. For thirteen years, Terri's parents and husband have been locked in a tug of war over her care. He wants her to die, her parents want her to undergo rehabilitative therapy. You see, in the thirteen years that Terri has been debilitated, her husband has vetoed any form of therapy.

Your brother in law Jeb actually sent a letter to Judge George Greer, asking him to re examine Terri's case before he rules on pulling her feeding tube on September 11, 2003. Judge Greer rudely disregarded Governor Bush's letter:

"I read [Gov. Bush's letter] because it came from the governor and I respect his position," Greer told the Tampa Tribune. "Beyond that, it is going in the file."


Mrs. Bush, Terri responds to friends and family! Unfortunately, her husband has legally tried to block visits from the same people who can continue to stimulate her mind. Judge Greer so far has been on Michael Schaivo's side. This is unthinkable! What kind of society have we become when we can withhold medical care because our relative or spouse has become inconvenient?

Can you help keep Terri alive? There are at least thirteen doctors who have submitted statements saying that Terri could benefit from therapy, but Judge Greer doesn't care.

All I can say is that I would hate to be Terri's mom and dad right now. If there is nothing you can personally do, I understand. Just please say a prayer for that girl...

Sincerely,

[Theodore R.]

This is a wonderful letter. Unfortunately, it won't change a thing. Man has hardened his heart, as the Bible says, "in the last days."

Did you read that awesome letter to the underworked Judicial Qualification Commission worker?

Wow.

Thank you. Keep up the good work, TSO.
