Governor Jeb Bush,
I weep as I type this final good bye email to you. I have fought long and hard for Terri Schiavo. It appears tonight that you have no intention whatsoever of risking your governorship to save her life. A sad day for sure in America.
We have lost our liberty, our land and our freedom. No longer will we trust those in authority. No longer will we be able to sing " God Bless America.". How can He bless us any more.
One of His own is being denied Holy Communion at this very hour. Her religious freedom has been trampled on by our government.Powerless, you sit by and watch. Powerless President Bush sits by and watches also.A freedom has been taken, our religous freedom.
We send our boys to foreign soil to give their precious lives to fight so that we might be free. Fight, may I ask for WHAT? This?? This land that sits back and watches a innocent disabled woman be starved to death?? We have already heard from many who have fought for our freedom that this will not go unnoticed. You , a Governor, unwilling to risk your postition to do what is right.Brave, you are not!! What a shame. You could have ordered the National Gaurd in there and did what Janet Reno and President Clinton did with Elian Gonzales. But no. You chose just to let a perverse and crooked judicial system mock and laugh at our entire nation. My tears cannot stop flowing. I will not be able again to sing " My Country Tis of Thee, Sweet land of Liberty" any more. How can I . I would see the face of Terri Schiavo and her parents pleading for mercy , only to find none.
We lost this battle on our own soil. We are a disgrace to the countries of the world after preaching freedom and liberty, and yet being hypocritcal with " I did all I can do for you Terri" " Sorry sweetie pie, you must die" . It is out of my control"..........
My heart is crushed. My hopes are dashed. We have turned a corner that unless God grants us a measure of mercy , we will never be the same. America , the America I knew and love , died tonight.
I am a long time Republican. I have a cousin that has just retired as a Republican senator. I have another cousin that is a Republican Assemblyman. This night, my husband and I are leaving the Republican party that we have loved, and joining up with the Constitution party. We will probably be losing for several elections, but we will at least be voting for the principles that we believe in.
May God Bless the Schindler family and God Help Terri. America let Terri down. She might as well have been in the old Iraq with Sadaam as leader.
Bobby has told those at the hospice now to go on home. Be with their families. Heartwrenching Mr. Governor. He can't be with HIS during these last hours. Michael has won, he will see Terri to her death and cremation. The case now will close. Michael, Attorney Felos, Judge Greer, Whittmore and all will dance their death dance now. Why not? they have won. They should.
The preamble used to say " We the people, in order to form a more perfect union...............no Mr. Governor. Not any more. It is " We the COURTS.....in order to control the destiny of this land"...........Sorry George Washington, Sorry Abraham Lincoln.You got it wrong. There is no more liberty. America died tonight.
amen
Sad but true.
"You could have ordered the National Gaurd in there and did what Janet Reno and President Clinton did with Elian Gonzales"
And had a shootout with police, brilliant idea. Using force to do an endrun around the rule of law? Please get off my team.
I would not ask Governor Bush or President Bush to be nothing more than a repeat of Clinton/Reno. That is insane!
Great letter!
But one thing: Governor Jeb Bush may have feared risking his governorship but in the process he threw away any possibility of ever running for President. That guy couldn't get elected dog-catcher at this point. At least not by Republicans.
Regards,
LH
