Lil Johnny Edwards and his trial lawyer buddies get a lot of mileage out of cases where they can condemn insurance companies for "not caring" about helpless patients. I only mention this as an example of the hypocrisy of the left, those who 'claim' to care while killing our most helpless.
One of Sen. Edwards most famous cases - where he raked in MILLIONS - a child, helpless from birth because of complications at birth, was only getting 18 paid for physical therapy sessions per year, when Sen. Edwards found ONE doc. who claimed that frequent physical therapy sessions just might, maybe allow this almost vegetative child to walk someday. Never mind that the insurance company would be paying out 12 million or so in homecare and other costs, or that this well-to-do family opened a second Volvo dealership soon after, Johnny made a bundle, and found a handy story to use at campaign stops and at law schools across the country - where he's a frequently invited guest lecturer - to bash evil Insurance companies and show the world how much he 'cares' about the regular people. I don't mean to sound heartless, but Johnny Edwards milks this case still today.
In Terri's case, physical therapy was called for - and denied by the husband and THIS Judge. Something's seriously wrong with this picture. If there is ANY chance that Terri is sentient, SHE need protection and this husband and this Judge ARE killing her.
Give custody to the parents. If we can't protect our most helpless and INNOCENT, our JUSTICE is absolutely broken.
There is even a witness who claims MR. WRONG never got permission from Terri to make end-of-life decisions for her. She never asked for a living will. Who would give 'guardianship' rights to a man who scares witnesses?
If there ISN'T a law, WRITE ONE. This isn;'t a traffic ticket, it's life and death!
I agree, Governor Bush needs to interfere. This is an execution - and the disabled person's biggest nightmare.

To Office of Attorney General Crist, Terri Schiavo deserves an independent "guardian ad litem". Many Floridians consider themselves friends of Terri and the Judge should have honored the Governor's request to appoint a guardian ad litem. It is troubling that the State of Florida can preserve Cypress Gardens and protect the Everglades but Terri Schiavo has no representation and her parents have no rights. Justice is not being served in Pinellas County, Florida. We support Governor Bush's request to J. Greer for a guardian ad litem to be appointed for Terri Schiavo, a disabled woman who needs her parents' love and support. I am against the starvation and withholding of fluids because there is reasonable doubt as to her diagnosis. I request that someone step up to the plate for Terri's rights. Sincerely, N. Kramer
