Letter to President Trump

President Trump

I find myself stuck in this system that seems to not want to look at the evidence or the truth, however I continue to be forced to give up years of my life when every witness the government used against me at my trial has not only admitted to perjury on world television but the governments hitman admitted to having a plot to kill me and I was the target not Carole Baskin yet I can't seem to get anyone to care or a new trial because of the lack of objections and things that were not brought up during my trial by the public defenders I had to use.

I know that I wasn't perfect my whole life. I made some mistakes and was very vocal in my beliefs, but I never one time hurt anyone or cheated anyone. I ran for office to have a voice because it seems like just sitting back and letting everyone else speak for you wasn't working, so I stood up and did exactly what my right as a legal citizen of America was allowed to do and if my views made some people mad or upset I apologize for that deeply.

I have lived the last 8 years with my freedom of movement taken away. The right to say goodbye to my parents or attend their funeral. The right to eat a real McDonalds hamburger or a Pizza that wasn't made out of stuff you wouldn't dream of ever eating. But the main thing I have learned in the last 8 years is no matter how good I took care of my animals and loved them, they were deprived of having a family, the right to roam free and their right to be what they were born to be all because of being locked in a cage in order to run a business. I did a lot of good for sick children and people that were homeless in the process, however the souls of those animals slowly died just as mine does everyday being locked away for no reason at all other then someone wanted to exploit me for profit, my right of be me and to make a movie so they could get richer than they already were.

If I am given a second chance in the free world, I am not going to be some hard ass animal rights person but I am going to be an advocate for the feeling of hopelessness and use my platform to help animals in the wild be able to remain in the wild and to fix children's faces along with my favorite charity operation smile.

I believe God really does love me and forgives me for anything I have done wrong and I am hoping and praying once day soon the President I have advocated for since you got in the political arena will to and allow me to go home, which is a question where that really is because they have completely destroyed the one I have along with all belongings, but my only hope right now is to get that second chance and see my husband and show him the life he has been deprived of before my cancer and disease takes me to meet my parents and brother in heaven.

I have owned up to the things I did wrong and 8 years of loss of entirely everything I ever worked for including my parents I would hope is enough loss to deserve a second chance. I didn't hurt or cheat anyone and I have served 8 brutel years of prison and abuse and being locked away from society for having a big mouth. So please Mr. President consider signing my Clemency that is in Ed Martins office for the Holidays and allow me to prove to you and the world that I will make you proud.

Sincerely
