Behind Scenes: How Terri Schiavo was saved ( ????? )

Alan Keyes, Randall Terry | 22 November 2003 | Alan Keyes, Randall Terry

[PrepareToLeave]

So, let me get this straight for the record. My lonely visit to the hospice was shall we say, ineffective, unproductive, or maybe a total waste of time because no one was there with a camera?

You're SO missing the point. I have nothing against either of these men, I feel hate for no one. But he who has ears, let him hear. "My friend, Randell Terry has just fought an extrordinary battle against the..... I pray that you will read the enclosed letter with a GRATEFUL, GENEROUS & CHARITABLE heart."

This stinks to high heaven.

And again let me say what others have, this battle is far from over, let alone won.

I don't have enough information to think about the plug one way or another.

Good point. You don't. Neither do I.

Therefore....you don't know what Terri might try to communicate, whether it be the word 'mama' or 'stop', as was reported she WAS saying in affidavit's from nurses who actually were on the scene.

So where are we John?

Do we decide to err on the side of caution, since a human life is at stake, or do we assume justice has been served in the horrendous neglect and lack of therapy Terri has been subjected to for the last ten years. This being, a FACT we know about.

Do we believe Terri's family who has known her since her beginings, or do we believe her husband of four years who now has two children of his own, via his mistress?

What say you John? Since neither of us have enough information to decide....

Do we grant the time necessary to investigate MS, to allow for some therapy for the shriveled and now malformed muscles of Terri? Do we go for the plug and starve her to death since her husband suddenly remembered in 1997 (after Terri, dad nab it, refused to die on her own after all therapy and medical help had been withdrawn for five years?) that Terri would have wanted to die afterall?

Do we question award money MS got to help rehabilitate Terri being used on the death seeking attorney he hired in 1997?

What say you?

Thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only person that sees something wrong with this.

DITTO your post # 55

This thread nearly breaks my heart.

Good men are viciously criticized merely for making their work known and/or asking for assistance to further that work.

No wonder the Left wins.

Randall Terry helped tremendously in this fight, as did Alan Keyes and Mary Parker Lewis. They did more than anybody will ever know.

Yep she isn't saved yet and she is still not being given rehabilitation and being brought to full capacity at the soonest possible time in contravention to her retained rights. Michael/Felos and Co. and even the State and Federal officials who continue to not come down heavy to stop this right now are allowing the law to be broken on a second to second, minute to minute basis, etc. Felos says that every second that goes by, every day, etc. that the feeding tube stays in her rights are being neglected or something like that. He knows he is wrong and he knows that it's the exact opposite. But our State and Federal officials need to do something about it yesterday! I cannot believe that this wasn't written into the stay, etc. This is criminal!

[Saundra Duffy]

I can't help it; I like Randall Terry. Anyone who tries to help Terri is a friend of mine. Go Terry and Terri!

[floriduh voter]

It's important for us to look past the mud slinging and to keep praying for Terri. This is still a serious matter because of the 6th Circuit. They are consistently way out of bounds. No one who's helped Terri should be criticized.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

[floriduh voter]

SP correction: "No one whose helped Terri should be criticized."

You have a Happy Thanksgiving too.

"Randall Terry helped save Terri's life, that's true, true, true."

Take another look, o great and wise chad.

The death sentence has not been vacated.

Yes. Keyes and Terry may have made a brief contribution in helping to save Terri's life. This is not the issue here; despite your weak attempt to spin it otherwise.

Dr. Keyes and Randall Terry falsely ( that's a kind word for lied ) in their joint claim, " How Terri Schiavo was saved."

Take a dose of reality, and post me in the morning.

[Robert Drobot]

Contrary to the phony huff and puff of that great and wise chad, floriduh voter, this thread begins with a copy of an email I received on 22 November, and penned jointly by Dr. Keyes and Randall Terry.

Two floriduh voter speculations defeated quietly in one sentence.

But I digress.

What's really disturbing is I have today received a second mailing of the same email - distributed in both instances by citizenslobby.com.

That the public has been lied too twice prompted me to write the following letter I sent to Dr. Keyes:

Dr. Keyes,

Terri has not been saved. AND YOU KNOW IT!!!

It would be a far better thing for you to ask those concerned about Terri Schiavo to contribute to the Schindler Foundation located on the internet at terrisfight.org.

The mystery lies in understanding why you decided to indulge in the same misrepresentation of facts ( LIES ) to the public in much the same fashion as the predator death industry is doing?

Terri deserves a higher level of consideration, Dr. Keyes.

Please redirect your considerable influence in Terri Schiavo's best interest. She is deserving of it. Of this there is no doubt.

Banner headlines declaring all is well only serve to disarm public support and concern for Terri's death decree at the hands of the Florida 'system'.

Stand for truth Dr. Keyes!!!

Don't do an in and out grandstand play using Terri as a prop.

Stand in continued opposition to the ever present death sentence the three branches of Florida government have imposed on Terri Schiavo.

That death sentence has not been vacated. Until then please refrain from shouting the false claim, "......How Terri Schiavo Was Saved....."

Very truly yours,

The first mailing occurred on 22 November and the second was received yesterday on the 25th.

A secondary round of copies posted by recipients of the original will spread throughout the internet. HERE is where the real harm to whatever good Keyes and Terry might have done has been washed.

A fundraising campaign that hangs its' hat on a lie deserves nothing. It is insulting, stupid and contemptuous twice around!!!!

Terri doesn't need this kind of so-called 'help'!!!!

[drlevy88]

Hey! Until Terri is safe from harm: can the flames. There hadn't been even a peep about Randall Terry in the opening salvos of this war. Now there is a pitched flamewar about him. Why? Who cares if he is a grandstanding idiot right now. He is a grandstanding idiot who is pulling in the right direction.

[Robert Drobot]

The fundraiser isn't earmarked for Terri rescue. That is the wrong direction, and she has not been saved!!!!

[Robert Drobot]

PS. Who appointed you the traffic cop?

[kimmie7]

You have FReepmail.

[kimmie7]

I certainly appreciate Mr. Terry's efforts -- but to not give the glory to GOD Almighty is a grave error on his part. That would be like FReepers trying to take all the credit for getting the word out. Granted, soooooooo much has been done from here - but there were others quietly praying, mailing letters, e-mailing, praying, and PRAYING!

By the way, a very joyous and blessed Thanksgiving to you all, my FReeper FRiends. I'm anticipating my WHOLE family, and my 4 year old nephew is sleeping over with my 4 year old son -- prayers would be appropriate. ;-)

[Robert Drobot]

"........a very joyous and blessed Thanksgiving to you all....."

kimmie7, your posts have always been thoughtful.

The same to you and yours!!!!

[Robert Drobot]

May God shower His love and protection on America during this uniquely American holiday.

God Bless America.

Happy Thanksgiving to every FReeper and lurker of FreeRepublic.com

You have a good point, Robert D Robot.
