Rami (RAH-ME) is a retired American Veteran who served in the United States Army for many years, was an honored civic leader and has made his home in sunny California.
Rami is a married and successful businessman, and has recently been diagnosed with a syndrome called Aphasia, making it difficult for him to communicate effectively.
In October 2003, Rami approached his family for help, stating the physical, financial and mental abuse inflicted on him by his wife, Robin, of three years, that he was afraid of her and desperately wanted a divorce - she is 20 years his junior. Rami's family immediately took him to the emergency room where he was diagnosed with malnutrition, dehydration and Vitamin B12 deficiency. He remained hospitalized for approximately two weeks. It was learned that Robin had been giving Rami approximately 17 unnecessary drugs, which he stopped taking while living with family, and his health improved significantly. Robin filed for Conservatorship over Rami, and although Rami did not want a conservator, he asked his niece to act in that capacity. Rami's niece and family have helped Rami for over a year - Rami was independent and happy.
During the Conservatorship trial, Judge Joseph Kalin disallowed evidence to prove Rami's allegations against Robin, and instead found that Rami was delusional. Judge Kalin appointed Conservator Daniel Stubbs, who was suggested by Robin's attorneys. Judge Kalin also gave dementia powers to the conservator. Robin has and continues to use Rami's money to employ a large firm and control Rami and his assets. Rami's strong desire for independence and divorce have gone unheard.
On January 8, 2005, Conservator Stubbs removed Rami from his sister's home under false pretenses, and took him to his wife, the very person Rami wanted to be away from. Rami has been confined to his home, and despite attempts by family and friends to visit him, he is not permitted to receive visitors. Rami's attorney had to petition the court to see her client. She was allowed to visit him once after he was taken, where Rami advised her that Robin and Stubbs had him sign various unknown papers. Rami's attorney has since been removed by the court.
We believe Rami is living in silence and has no control of his life. He told both his attorney and a visiting detective that he doesn't want to be with Robin and that he's afraid of her and Stubbs. Because Rami has trouble communicating doesn't mean he doesn't feel, have desires or know what's happening to him . Rami can communicate using various methods, such as hand gestures, facial expressions, and sometimes he does form a complete sentence.

Yea, kinda makes you look at trophy wives in a more nefarious light, doesn't it?
Thank you for the ping. I can hardly believe what I am reading. Thank God this man has friends and family who care for him and seem to be taking action. I will pray for all involved.
God Bless and have a great day!
good ping, TA. 68-69Tonkin' surely knows someone who'd be interested in helping!
I'm in for any graphic design needed. Will work on a ribbon and postcard ASAP.
bttt
Cancel that. I just looked at the site, it looks great. I'll kick in with some research soon.....
Doesn't look good, does it?
I think protective agencies have more teeth than they do in Florida, or I hope so anyway. Prayers are being said for Rami also.
Keep me posted, ping me, whatever.
Has anyone started a Defense Fund?
If so, let me know where to send a check.
We "Brothers" will NEVER forsake another, in a time of need.
Wonderful!! How kind of you!
Me either. That's why I'd like to hear the other side of this story. Any media stories or anything else out there about this situation?
Please see reply #36. How possible is Grandma's suggestion? I know you met with the swift boat vets.
Not yet, but I think this story is just starting. I am sure more will come to light in the next few days. Getting the Vets involved will help....they never let one of their own down...it will just take time to get the ball rolling. Even though it already sounds like he has a great group of people fighting for him.
I just pray his family is allowed to see him soon, that is the worst part.
Have a great day!
Thank you for posting. Another life to save.
There have been some excellent suggestions here. I especially like the suggestions for getting veterans groups involved.
I only know what is on this thread, I'm afraid.
She had him on 17 drugs that he did not need? Without the doctor's knowledge?
Good idea about contacting Gordon Liddy. You can find his contact info in Post #12. Thanks a lot.
Clinton-appointed Judge Whittemore COULD have given Terri Schiavo another chance at life, but did not.
We need decent judges in our court system, which is why passing the Constitutional option is so important.
Drudge had a guest on his show Sunday night, who said the Constitutional option vote is going to be close. Just a couple of senators could make the difference.
Even if none of these WAVERING senators is your own senator,
please call 'em, anyway.
The last I heard the six key GOP Senators are Collins (ME), DeWine (OH), Hagel (NE), Murkowski, Specter (PA), and Warner (VA). Frist can afford to lose only two, because McCain, Chafee, and Snowe have declined to end the judicial filibusters.

Urge each to FULLY SUPPORT THE FILIBUSTERING
RULES CHANGE.
It might not hurt to tell them about this poll, either:
Should Senate Rules Be Changed?
Yes 57%
No 25%
RasmussenReports.com
Very simple, very straightforward. That's why Rasmussen has such a good track record. They are honest.
Senator John Warner is rather difficult to reach by phone, so here's the link to send him your message. Just click & fill out the form and give him your brief message:

Yes, looks like another spouse is trying to commit murder.
