Although I am not a Floridian, I just want to remind you that your brother won Florida by just a few hundred votes. If Terri Schavio is murdered under your watch, President Bush will lose next November. It’s time for true leadership. Procedural niceties will kill Mrs. Schavio. Please use your authority as Chief Executive to defend Terri’s rights under the Florida Constitution. I’m not buying the “civil case” argument coming from your legal folks. Most Americans don’t have the luxury of time to splice the legal arguments down to the proverbial jot and tittle. The facts are that a disabled woman is going to be murdered. Her husband spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to kill her when he could have used the funds on her rehabilitation. All it takes is an Executive Order from your office to defend Terri’s life. Please do the right thing.

Thank you for your time. I am praying for you to do the right thing. No one should have the right to make a quality of life judgment.
