How right you are and I am one that will not give up. Thought it might be time to reprint a copy of a letter (contained pertinent backup in the package) that I sent to our friends in Washington. It was better then a week ago that I mailed the packages (at the Post Office) but - needless to say - no reply so far.
Any suggestions as to how long to wait before hitting again and then, how?
The letter:
May 25, 2005
Senator Bill Frist
509 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator Frist,
For over a month I have intended to write this letter, first to clear up some misunderstandings and to request your follow through with a complete and total investigation of the Terri Schiavo case.
First, the Senate did NOT act on it’s own in trying to get the Case retried in Federal Court. I know that most Senators and Congressmen have been bombarded, including officials in Florida, to take action on this miscarriage of justice. WE the people have requested OUR representatives take action because ALL OF YOU represent us. To prove my point, I am attaching a copy of one of my Telephone bills.
Secondly, that Senate subpoenas can be ignored is beyond my comprehension. Really teaches young people a lesson!
Thirdly, the way the world has perceived this is not good. I have included just two of articles taken from foreign papers. We better not try to teach Human Rights anytime soon.
Fourth, the entire system in Florida should be investigated. I am attaching a few articles that prove my point. Incidentally, the only media that has honestly covered this case is The Empire Journal - I find that their material has been investigated and checked out and can be checked even further - a lot of court documents, depositions, etc., are included in Adobe format.
Rather than send copies of all the reports which would require UPS to deliver, I am including the web address of The Empire journal - perhaps you or one of your staff might like to review their inputs over the years. Inputs such as those on the attached sheet should give you some idea.
Finally, there are two more cases that are very similar - one in Florida and one in Southern California. I have attached a report on each. These need immediate attention by someone!
Please, please schedule a complete and thorough investigation. Being a senior, widow and no local family, I could well find myself in the Same situation. I am also sending copies to those listed below in hopes something can be initiated very soon. Perhaps, just maybe, the LEFT was concerned about your following up on this case and tried to use the filibuster to cloudy things up. My own opinion of course.
God bless and please know you are ALL in my prayers every day.
Sincerely,
P.S. I am enclosing a photo of a rose bush I planted in Terri’s memory. May I ask that you, in Terri’s memory, make sure this miscarriage of justice never happens again?

Thanks AnimalLover!
Excellent letter. Hope you get it to the good guys in the news media, to keep up the pressure, guys like Sean Hannity.
The mere fact that this episode has not died is news in itself, a topic that refused to go away.

Does anyone have the TOLL FREE NUMBER for the U.S. Congress? Please post if you have. My post-it note fell off my monitor.
Thanks. FV
