President Bush
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,
N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear President Bush:
I
can't adequately or appropriately express the intensity of my concern
for the welfare of LCDR (now Captain) Michael Speicher. In concert
with other activists, I have tracked his case for years. Information
has been collected, assimilated, and disseminated in the hope that
concern about his plight might reach a fever pitch around the Country.
Michael Speicher is a patriot, a hero, a citizen, and a person; all
qualify him for treatment far better than he has received since
January 16, 1991!
Reclassification
from KIA-BNR to MIA is a huge step, but we know that evidence
indicates that he actually should be listed as POW. As either MIA or
POW, his rights (and his family's), under the Missing Service
Personnel Law of 1996, have been grossly misrepresented. How can we
turn our backs on an American patriot, and thousands of POW/MIA's from
conflicts preceding his, while we jump through hoops to protect the
rights of foreigners, running the gamut from illegal aliens to
"detainees" from the Middle East? As a veteran, I am
appalled at the casual disregard for the lives of those men and women
whose service has insured our freedoms. I beg you to make a
difference!
May
I ask that you not USE LCDR Speicher as a pretext to invade Iraq? His
situation has arisen from governmental ineptitude and expedience not
of your making. Rather than cheapen our concern for this man by
exploiting his situation to address a current problem, please
illustrate your administration's true concern by focusing on the
individual thus far forgotten (though not by all).
MICHAEL
SPEICHER DESERVES TO BE HOME!! Join us in making this a reality.
Sincerely,
Donald
C. Amorosi
