PLEASE TAKE TIME TO MAKE SOME CALLS ON BEHALF OF TERRI!!!! THE CALL YOU MAKE MAY BE THE ONE THAT SAVES HER LIFE!!!!
Ping!
Have you thought about asking people to send to Terri a Valentine card?
Ping!
Just Damn, was today Valentine's Day?!? If it was I'm gonna die!!
Prayers from Australia for Terri and her mum and dad.
Bump and thanks for starting the thread. Big month coming up.
I'm curious: a lot has been made about money being a possible factor in Michael's decision: is it possible to buy Michael Shiavo off? Not that I'd like to see him get it, but I'd give $50 to the cause.
For reference purposes:
TERRI SCHINDLER SCHIAVO JANUARY 2005 Dailies
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1310171/posts?page=1#1
Some people posted to the end of the thread just today as well. I posted the link for this Terri February Daily over there as well.
To: amdgmary
Well stated.
In today's The Washington Times (Feb. 1, 2005, p. A16) the is an offensive letter to the editor by Eric Stetson of Burke. Either he is totally misinformed or simply lying, but he actually claims that Terri is in a vegetative state. He goes on to argue why Christians should send Terri to heaven to be with God.
At no point does Eric Stetson make a reference to how horrible it is to be starved to death; to her estranged husband with his mistress and illegitimate children and a financial gains being her guardian; to the fact that what caused Terri's condition was never investigated (might well have been attempted murder); that the estranged husband has been fighting giving a deposition; etc.

Why does it say click to read article? If you created the article, it should show up. It was there earlier or maybe it's just my pc. Any computer geeks out there?
MICHAEL HAVE A HEART. GIVE TERRI BACK TO THE SCHINDLERS. They know she's not property!!!!!!
We're not talking about anything "painless" as MS & Felos lies, but something you go to jail for if you did to your pet.
I wish I could talk to him face-to-face.
"If the courts continue to rule that the governor and the legislative branch have no input, then perhaps Bush should take Terri Schiavo into protective custody under Florida Statute 415.1051."
(2) EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE SERVICES INTERVENTION.--If the department has reasonable cause to believe that a vulnerable adult is suffering from abuse or neglect that presents a risk of death or serious physical injury to the vulnerable adult and that the vulnerable adult lacks the capacity to consent to emergency protective services, the department may take action under this subsection. If the vulnerable adult has the capacity to consent and refuses consent to emergency protective services, emergency protective services may not be provided.
Senate President Tom Lee: 1-800-560-4403
I just called the number above.
The lady that answered said that Terri's case was a Federal issue. I was shocked.
I said the legislature had the power to repeal the starvation and dehydration of the disabled. That this was only made a law in 1999.
She was actually rather rude. Told me not to yell at her. I ignored that since I wasn't yelling, just started telling her that he did have the power to save Terri and others like her. That what they passed in 1999 could also be repealed and that other state did not allow the starvation and dehydration of the disbaled. My voice became more emotional, but I was definitely polite.
Maybe these bozos really don't know they can repeal laws they passed. we need to make sure we hold their feet to the fire.
I think we need to target certain offices that have more power, like the senate president's office. we need to let them know we are not going to let them pass the buck. Florida decided to starve and dehydrate the disable, not the Federal government.
Kind of wondering if the law of slavery applies here. Does the husband own the victim here? What about implied consent? did she have a DNR signed that allows him to make this decision?
