101	PF Soto	Cambridge	MA	US	The action taken against Dr Wilkerson, while beyond the pale - almost unthinkable - is actually not surprising; zionist are stifling voices all across this country. It is OUTRAGEOUS. More outrageous is the tolerance of and acquiescence to zionist control of our institutions, not limited to congress and the media. Wake up america!

104	bill cunningham	cambridge	MA	US	I herd about this because I have friends and relatives in Ann Arbor. My mother was an RN in the US Army and later in civilian hospital. My mother's highest word of praise for fellow workers at the hospittal was "conscientious." Whether or not Board members agree with Dr Wilkerson's politics, wouldn't you agree that word describes her character? Patients and community can't dispense with people like her. I am sure that if my mother were there, she would done just as Dr Wilkerson did, heedless of personal cost, because that was her duty and her profession.
105	Peter Holden	Malua Bay	New South Wales	AU	This is an absolute disgrace! How much more must this poor woman suffer for simply exercising her right to free speech, Shame on the governing board of the Packard Community Clinic.

108	Izumi Van Cleave	Berkeley	California	US	It is irrational that you accuse Dr. Wilkerson for expressing her political views on the ground that some people don't like them. Whenever political voices are raised, ther are always some opptision to them. Even if you get threatening pressure from opposition group, still she has the right to express her view and nobody silence her or fire her because of her political expression. Political expression is NOT intentionally harmful conduct to you business. PLEASE don't give in to the unconstitutional pressure and keep Dr. Wilkerson on the staff of PCC.

110	Cecelia Ober, RN	Ann Arbor	MI	US	I'm a former PCC patient & have referred a half dozen others to the clinic. This is alarming behavior and, using their own words in a way they didn't intend, "reflect(s) negatively on the reputation and public image of Employer... (and) negatively affect(s) the ability of Employer to retain current patients, attract new patients or attract donations...."

117	Federico Allodi, MD	Toronto	Ontario	CA	To whom it may concern Sir/Madam For Dr. Wilkerson to make her views known about a people whose rights to health and health care are being denied by an illegal ware fare and occupation is no crime or unethical professional behaviour. On the contrary, it is the duty of any physician in any country under UN Charter to denounce and remind our own community and government to comply with the Geneva Convention of 1949 on the Protections of Civilians in Time of War when it specify the health needs of individuals and a people. Please, let Dr. Wilkerson be. Respectfully. Federico Allodi

125	Judy Bonnell-Wenzel	Ann Arbor	Michigan	US	I've been a patient at Packard Community Clinic for nearly 30 years, since before it moved to Packard Road (it was in Georgetown Mall originally). I was very proud of Jerry Walden in his activism, taking Spanish with him at WCC and knowing that he made trips to Central America to care for the underserved. I'm very proud likewise to have such an ethical doctor as Catherine Wilkerson who stands up for the people at great medical risk in Occupied Palestine. I don't see a bit of difference ethically in the stands of these two doctors. I don't go to PCC because of being underinsured. In fact, I have the very best health insurance. I go to PCC because I have always believed in everyone having access to good health care. In order for PCC to continue to give access to good health care to everyone, PCC must continue to have Catherine Wilkerson on its staff.

129	mark wenzel	ann arbor	michigan	US	Do the right and good thing by Dr. Katherine Wilkerson and keep her on the PCC staff. Is there any other alternative for an alternative to mainstream healthcare? PCC can be a leader for the community at this crucial time. Will it be?? Best, mark wenzel
130	Elaine Rumman	Ann Arbor	MI	US	I have the greatest respect and admiration for Dr. Catherine Wilkerson. She has a heart full of love for all kinds of people, especially the disadvantaged. The jury found her not guilty according to their conscience. Rarely will you find a doctor who works for justice, the voiceless, and the oppressed. She never turns a blind eye to anyone who is suffering or treated unjustly. An ethical doctor who is dedicated to the practice of medicine and to human rights should be rewarded, not terminated. Dr. Wilkerson is one of a kind and I truly consider her a citizen of the world.

132	Anonymous	cambridge	ma	US	Please contact me if you have rasons for Dr Wilkerson's termination other than those publicly stated by her
133	Charles Loucks	Ann Arbor	MI	US	I want to schedule an appointment with my doctor but cannot due to her being fired. I am very angry over this!
134	Dylan Wilkerson	Los Angeles	CA	US	My mother is a compassionate and caring physician. Any clinic that claims to serve those in need of medical treatment who have little or no insurance, should be held accountable if they are cowards in the face of zionist racism. Solidarity with Palestine is not a crime!
135	Katie Richards	Tamarac	FL	US	Please leave Dr. Wilkerson alone, she has done nothing wrong.

141	Glenn DeMason	Ann Arbor	MI	US	Dr Wilkerson has done very good things I've seen. She took fine care of me in an Emergency/Trauma situation -- I was favorably impressed. Dr Wilkerson's courage makes an even greater impression on me. I admire the fact that she's taken positions which while unpopular, are true to her heart. If push came to shove, I'd want Dr Wilkerson on /my/ side. Let the Board reconsider. Keep Doc Wilkerson at Packard Clinic!
142	Dr. Austin Murphy	Lake Orion	MI	US	Via firing Dr. Wilkerson, you have made a complete mockery of medicine and have converted your clinic into a pathetic tool of a foreign power. As such, you and your staff could be subject to the laws of the United States and executed for treason. Think about it.
143	Jon C. Swanson	Ann Arbor	Michigan	US	While legal the dismissal of employees for political activities is unseemly for an agency that prides itself on its liberal values. I have known Dr. Wilkerson for 15 years and have been treated by her at Packard Clinic. She is an ethical person with a strong commitment to social justice and a very competent physician. This firing feels and smells like McCarthyism. Shame on you.

145	Chester Just	Coral Springs	FL	US	In the name of humanity and good conscience please change your ways and allow peaceful expressions of opinion - however contrary to yours they may be. Chester Just.
146	Paul Lefrak	Merida	Merida	VE	As a former Ann Arborite, I'm outraged by the decision of the Packard Clinic to fire Dr. Wilkerson. As someone who is Jewish and who, like Dr. Wilkerson, is also opposed to the racism of Israeli Zionist apartheid, I am disgusted that PCC management would attempt to dictate to a dedicated employee that she has no right to protest these racist atrocities on her own time. If there are some who are offended by her righteous stances, then so be it. The same could be said about the civil rights movement or any movement for human rights. And there are many times more people who are offended about the persecution of someone for their political beliefs. I have donated to the PCC in the past when I lived in A2, but now I will urge my friends there to withhold any donations to the PCC until Dr. Wilkerson is reinstated and made whole. Shame on PCC management!

149	Ellen Cantarow	Medford	MA	US	If I were a physician I would be proud to take the stances that Dr. Wilkerson does. She seems an honor to her profession. It is lamentable that the the McCarthyite fever gripping the US, principled professionals who dare to criticize Israel come under such harassment by their institutions. My father taught on the faculty of Jefferson Medical College at a time when that institution inaugurated its own witch-hunt against "communists." History judged it very harshly later: it was long under censure by the AAUP.
