Subject: I am not an unreasoning animal

I have lost what seems my last battle with the courts regarding child support. In spite of the fact that I have raised my children since my
divorce: in my home, under my physical supervision, without financial help from my spouse, who was receiving state and federal aid for them, the court finally after 5 years has come to the conclusion that the law, whatever they say, is more important then the facts. I am broke, nauseated to the core of my being, ashamed of my country, of whom when asked I served, and on top of all this, I have had two major cancers that are in all likelihood due to the dioxins in my body from agent orange acquired from my unquestioning service to my country in Vietnam from 1967-1968 and will likely take my life shortly.

I mention this in humility.


If it was the purpose of the court to render me useless they have never heard of the saying "I have not yet begun to fight". I need legal help, I need financial help to continue being a father to my children who still live with me. I am living in the State of Iowa, a state I used to love. I do not know for how long but I promise, either through civil disobedience or through the corrupt courts I shall change what has happened to me so that no man or woman will ever have to go through such a denial of human rights again. A denial premeditated by four judges directed by the head judge of my district and only God knows how many lawyers. Please share this with the world .

Sincerely

TERENCE W. RIGBY
