letter to Sen. Michael Enzi

(I apologize to readers for the graphic visual imagery in this post. I wanted the addressees to feel Americans' horror at these events and act.)

==============

Senator Enzi,

Regarding Terri Schiavo, the HORROR of the very real possibility that a conscious but disabled American is being starved and dehydrated to death by court order within the borders of our own country, calls for all of the unanswered questions to be answered! How can this happen in America? Who is in charge?

She is being dried up like a petunia in the desert, turned into a piece of living shoe leather right in front of her mother's eyes, while all of America watches in horror. Nurses have testified that she can eat by mouth, yet the court ordered starvation forbids even the attempt.

What is this, Auschwitz?

Have our troops, who have been spilling their blood in the name of American freedom, been doing so in vain? We can save millions of middle eastern people from tyranny, but we can't even save one disabled American citizen from a tyrant judge who chooses to flout Congressional subpoena and disregard Terri's own testimony, witnessed and sworn to by Attorney Barbara Weller, that proves that Ms. Schiavo is neither PVS nor wants to die.

Senator Enzi, if most Americans were only vaguely aware of this case two weeks ago, they are massively aware of it now, and want their questions answered. How did we get dragged into having our government participate in and sanction such a cruel and gruesome killing of one of our own citizens? PLEASE reinstate the Congressional subpoenas and schedule hearings into this whole matter.

The highest testimony that Terri Schiavo is givng to us right now is that she is simply refusing to die, 11 days into this nightmare starvation. Congress can act again still, to save her life, and Americans now won't rest until we have the answers to how we got into this.

Sincerely,

Suzanne (last name)
