Emailed to my representative in the House, Mike Pence of the 6th district of the State of Indiana:
Dear Mr. Pence,
It was my priviledge to cast my vote for you in the last election, and I'm so proud of our district for sending you to the House of Representatives. May God bless you and give you wisdom, courage and strength.
I want to encourage you to do anything and everything possible on behalf of Terri Schindler Schiavo. I'm certain that you're aware of her situation down in Florida, but I want to add my voice to those who are crying out for our leaders to spare her life.
It is obviously true that you have no more control over the government of the state of Florida than I do, but you are in a high profile position and therefore will have some influence over fellow lawmakers. Please be bold and outspoken on Terri's behalf. This is a pivotal moment in America's history, and I believe our generation will be defined by and remembered for our actions and our arguments on behalf of the helpless and the ineloquent. Please go above and beyond the norm; exert an heroic effort to place yourself on the right side of this watershed moment.
I'm praying for you and for myself. Who knows but that God may connect what little we are able do with some unexpected opportunity to do a remarkable deed for the sake of Terri and all others who are helpless against the culture of death.
May God bless you.
Sincerely,
Joel Helbling
