to Sen. Arlen Spector and Rep. Michael Fitzpatrick

(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 Spector and Representative Fitzpatrick:

Please support reinstating the subpoenas for Terri Schiavo, et all, to appear before the committe on Health, Education, Labor and Pension . Since the subpoenas were first issued, Judge Greer has not only flouted his complete contempt for Congress, but sworn testimony has now been entered into the record, by Attorney Barbara Weller, that she witnessed Terri Schiavo try to speak to save herself the day her feeding tube was removed. This exposes to all of America that Ms. Schiavo is neither PVS, nor wants to die, despite her handicapped state.

Now that we know this, Americans have many many unanswered questions as to how we got dragged into this, having our government participate in and sanction, the Auschwitz-like starvation and dehydration killing of this helpless woman, who has committed no crime.

She is being dried up like a petunia in the desert, turned into a piece of living shoe leather in front of her mother's eyes, while all America watches in horror. But her testimony that she wants to live is overwhelming in that even now, 11 days into her cruel waterless starvation, she simply is refusing to die.

Congressman Fitzpatrick, please support reissuing the congressional subpoenas, immediately taking Terri Schiavo into witness protection, and saving her life. Even if two weeks ago most Americans were only vaguely aware of the issues here, they are certainly aware of them now, and we need to have our questions answered as to how we got to this point. What are our troops spilling blood for overseas, if this can go on at home?

Sincerely,

Suzanne (last name)
