To:

Delegate Bob Marshall

Attorney General John Ashcroft

Reference: Continued Denial of Civil Rights - Terri Schiavo

................"It is a criminal violation to abuse, neglect or exploit a disabled person, all of which have been perpetrated on Terri Schaivo and we petition your immediate intervention and investigation.

Presented by: Debra L. Vinnedge Mary and Bob Schindler Robert Schindler, JR Suzanne Carr William Hammesfahr, MD J.D. Young, MD James Eckart, MD Jay Carpenter, MD Eleanor Dreschel, RN, MS Jana Carpenter, RN, MS Msgr. Thaddeus Malanowski"

If anyone wants to read the whole letter to John Ascroft, (here) it starts about half way down the screen.

What would Ashcroft have to do
with the fact that a disabled
person is allegedly being abused?
That aspect is being looked into
by the federal agency charged with
that duty. It isn't the Justice D.

As to Terri's civil rights, she
needs some legal hook to hang that
on under Civil Rights. She must be
a Minority(protected class) under
those statutes, I believe. Myself,
I say she's a victim of "Reverse
Discrimination". Not being a black
it seems her white "hubby" & the
white judge have license to kill.

Constitutional Rights? Of course,
they're being violated. But I'm
unaware if the Justice D. ever
involves itself in support of
individuals all around the U.S.
under a claim of such - even if
lives are threatened. There must
be massive numbers of such claims.

Not downing anyone for contacting
Ashcroft. Just unclear on the
practical rationale for doing it
