Found this on the new MSN Search (no longer beta) towards the beginning when I typed in Michael Schiavo:
http://beggingthequestion.com/
Scroll down to More on the Schiavos and you can post a comment.
Uniform Determination of Death Act
Withdrawal of sustenance and hydration are required to cause her death.
Another great beginning for Terri! Thanks, TAAdams8591. FV
Terri Schiavo's Parents Continue Plea for Michael to Give Up Legal Fight
Comments from Cheryl Ford RN: How could anyone with a conscience allow a family to plead for their daughter in this manner and deny them the right to care for her? How many loving parents would not know what their child's true "wishes" were? This certainly isn't about the "promises" Michael made to Terri. If this was about his "promises" to Terri, he would have kept to the fidelity promises he made to Terri on their wedding day, instead of nine years ago taking up residency with another woman and creating a family with her. Again I ask, who is George Felos and Michael Schiavo trying to convince with their ridiculous statements about "promises" and "wishes"? Surely not us!
The official web site has the address for the Foundation www.terrisfight.org.
It's not Valentine's Day yet but the theme of this running thread is that Terri's Our Valentine and MICHAEL, HAVE A HEART. GIVE TERRI BACK TO HER PARENTS FOR VALENTINE'S DAY.
That would be sweeter than a box of chocolates, no offense chocolate rose. lol
Aussies such as yourselves are with Terri! Your prayers mean everything.
Michael Schiavo will not accept any offers. REJECTED. I will ping some freepers who may remember the FR links that address that subject.
a puppy valentine!
There are hundreds of Terri threads and thousands of separate posts - a search will yield page after page.
It would probably take 2 or 3 days for someone to find all the threads.
She needs to be rescued from injustice and judicial tyranny that have pounced on her. In the State of Florida, MICHAEL IS TREATED LIKE A SON AND TERRI IS TREATED LIKE A THING.
It is ILLEGAL AND IMMORAL... Everyone's help is appreciated because we can't get er done without you.
bttt for FRANCE!
Anyone want to send a message to journalists worldwide who cover the Vatican, etc.? I have the means of contacting over 30 journalists worldwide who do so.
Contact me if you formulate a message that will be considered for submission.
