Letter to David Sommers at Tampa Tribune

Mr. Sommer,
You contacted me back in October when I first became proactive in Terri's fight and right to live. At that time, I knew basic facts, and very little inside information. I felt very strongly about 1st Amendment Rights and murder of a disabled woman. These are the glaring issues in Terri's case. These issues are what the case is infringing upon, and not Terri's right to privacy as the husband says. From a common sense viewpoint, what takes priority; right to privacy stated by an estranged husband, or murder and 1st Amendment Rights?

These two issues, the law of our land, have been ignored, debased, violated, and misconstrued, not only by the husband and his attorney in their killer culture, but by the entire 6th judicial circuit, LE, and many of the citizens in this country, particularly, those in Pinellas-Pasco.

When did so many people make a conscious decision that murder of a disabled American is normal behavior? When did people make a conscious decision that the judiciary makes and changes law? People complain about the PATRIOT ACT and our rights violated. Reality check is in order here. What about allowing justices to legislate? Legislating judges violate more of our rights than any PATRIOT ACT ever could. This is judicial tyranny. Are people so blind they cannot see this conflict?

People need to know there is controversy within the medical profession regarding diagnosis and prognosis of PVS. People need to know Terri had no documents stating her end of life wishes. People need to know there are other cases in this country struck down by the courts to remove feeding tubes, as the right to life far outweighs court mandated killing.

Judge Greer has made numerous statements saying Terri wants to die. How does he know this? Since he did not know Terri prior to this case, did she come to him in a dream? Did he connect with her spirit as Felos says people do with him? If this is what a murder is based on, and upheld by the courts, and condoned by the public, every citizen in this country is at risk for the same mandated death sentence.

At the same time, our Constitution means nothing, as a state court, and a handful of judges who carry some weight, can trash the Constitution and all Amendments made by our forefathers. This has become a political issue by virtue of the rulings made by the judges in Pinellas County. For every American who reads about Terri Schiavo, and for those who are intelligent enough to realize basic Constitutional Rights have been violated in this case, each should take a proactive role in petitioning their elected and appointed officials to stop these violations now. For if we do not, we only have ourselves to blame for loss of those precious rights.
