He isn't in Elder Affairs.. what I was trying to point out was that these interests are interwoven with Office of Elder Affairs and on up to the Governor if you read the brochure. There is a woman who is General Counsel to the Governor who is among these interests who obviously are in cahoots with Hospice of the Florida Suncoast among others. Why else does Terri continue to be held hostage by the very people trying to kill her and our Governor does nothing about it and why AHCA coverups up anything wrong, etc. when it is blatant and plain as day there are many things that are serious illegal and wrong going on in regards to Terri's treatment and care, etc. and denial of rehab and therapy way over one year later from her being "saved". What about helped!?

We who care are disturbed that so little has been done for Terri. However, wild accusations against the Governor and the President are uncalled for.

Without the Governor's intervention under the law passed by the Legislature, Terri would be dead. If he is under the influence of some staff member who is Hospice-conneçted, and would rather Terri die in the Hospice than live, why did he intervene to save her life? Why? He has pursued legal action and has been shot down by the corrupt system at every turn. Still he pursues and pursues and pursues. Why does he do that if he would rather Terri die in the Hospice?

Many have mentioned that he could act, unilaterally, as Governor, to help Terri. I don't know the laws about that, but my strong presumption is that if he would ever act unilaterally in this, it would be as an absolute last resort after all appeal was over and Terri was going to be killed. Yes, we all want her helped, not just saved. But the Governor is acting as the Governor, or as he believes the Governor is meant to act.

It isn't enough for Terri, her family or for us. But we aren't the Governor, either. And we, acting without him, could not stop her starvation/dehydration death. He had to act, and he did. Now that law he used is overturned by a rotten court, but a court nontheless.

I pray for him, and others in position to do something, that they will find a way to save her, and that ultimately, she will get the help she needs and deserves.
