Michael will be in Denver on Thursday to appear at a fundraiser for Peggy Lamm, who is running in a Democratic primary for a Colorado congressional seat.
"I know that Coloradans care deeply about protecting their liberties and living their lives free from a powerful and intrusive government," Michael said in a letter asking people to attend the event.
"It's just not enough anymore to say something is wrong. We've got to act. Act with our feet, our wallets and our votes," he added.
In the letter, which the Denver Post obtained, Michael said Lamm invited him to attend the fundraiser.
"As a leading candidate in Colorado's seventh congressional district, Peggy Lamm invited me to come to Colorado to talk about these issues and remind voters that one vote in Congress can make a real difference in people's lives," Michael wrote.
Lamm, a former state representative, faces two other Democrats and the primary winner will square off with pro-life State Higher Education Commission Chair Rick O'Donnell.
She has the endorsement of Emily's List, a pro-abortion political action committee that only supports Democrats who support partial-birth abortions and paying for abortions with taxpayer funds.
Terri spent 15 years in a minimally conscious state, although she was able to communicate in a limited manner with her parents and others. After years of court battles, Michael won the right to kill her via euthanasia and told doctors to remove the feeding tube that provided her with food and water.
Terri died on March 31, 2005 after a painful 15-day starvation and dehydration death.
Since her death, the Schindler family has established the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation to provide legal and other help to families and disabled patients to make sure they receive proper medical care and rehabilitative treatment.
In April, Michael endorsed Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jim Davis.

Yeah, most people don't want to be murdered.
Terri Schiavo Ping
Is anyone really surprised that his political candidate of choice is liberal Democrat?
(end intense sarcasm)
Michael has discovered yet another way to scam, lie, and amass money at the expense of truth, PACs.
This is not ionly in bad taste ,it tastes bad.
This guy should go hide in a hole somewhere.
Whether or not anyone agrees or disagrees with his decision its time he STFU.
Hey I hope Michael Schiavo continues to endorse Dem candidates....the kiss of death you might say.
One would think that Michael Schiavo's endorsement would be the kiss of death for any candidate.
I swear we posted "kiss of death" at the same time. One of us is psychic.
So the low-rent lounge lizard isn't just a horse's ass, he's a leftwingnut kook!
Next? The Mikey and Cindy Show. Mikey knows fasting!
he was terry's lawful husband......sad, but true
That would be a majority of the Nation then, since most favored removing the tube.
Michael Schiavo assisting the Party of Death. A marriage made in hell. How fitting. I hope the Republican incumbents wrap Mr. Schiavo around their opponents' necks.
Has that ever been put to a vote, or are you citing media-designed polls? When asked whether people should be given the authority to decline "extraordinary" care, most responded in the affirmative. When people were informed of precisely what M. Schiavo was doing and whether he had the right to pull his wife's plug, most opposed.
Living with, and having fathered children by, another woman.
I know. He was a sorry excuse of a man.
Not seen any voting on the issue in general. But as for the Schiavo incident, about every poll I saw from every source favored keeping the government out of it and letting Michael Schiavo pull the tubes. That does include Fox polls.
When asked whether people should be given the authority to decline "extraordinary" care, most responded in the affirmative.
I think most still feel that way.
When people were informed of precisely what M. Schiavo was doing and whether he had the right to pull his wife's plug, most opposed.
I'm not exactly sure where you're getting that, because in fact most of the media exposure was on the possibility that Terri Schiavo was not PVS, so most were actually getting the Schindler family story, and still the polls all favored Michael Schiavo.
Hey, there's no need to go giving people the facts./sarcasm off
Not to worry. None were divulged.
he's a celebrity?
After "conservative" Republicans attacked personal rights so much, no.
"Michael formed a political action committee to target pro-life lawmakers who helped Terri's family and now is campaign for other candidates."
And from another article:
"Schiavo has remarried and established a Web site and political action committee and has endorsed U.S. Rep. Jim Davis, D-Fla., for Florida governor."

Words fail me. There are no words to express my disgust.
And he had the unmitigated gall to call his PAC: TerriPAC
http://www.terripac.com/
"MICHAEL SCHIAVO TO ATTEND AND ADDRESS YEARLYKOS CONVENTION
Schiavo to lead discussion of privacy rights
FLORIDA – TerriPAC Chairman and bestselling author Michael Schiavo will attend and speak at the “YearlyKOS Convention” on Saturday, June 10th, in Las Vegas, Nevada. "
I didn't read about him being at the YearlyKOS convention, but that's about the place for him, except for that very warm place.
Actually. the Dems think they are getting mileage out of the Schavo tragedy.
Terri Schiavo Case Is Emerging As Factor In Race For Governor

Politicians who supported intervening in the Schiavo battle saw their poll numbers fall after the debate. That the Democrats continue to emphasize the issue is an indication they think strong public sentiment continues, said David Beattie, a Democratic Party pollster in Fernandina Beach. "There are a lot of moderate Republicans that voted for Bush who have great concerns about government getting involved in personal lives," he said.
State Sen. Rod Smith, D-Alachua, tells audiences about his efforts in the Senate, helping assemble a coalition of Republicans and Democrats to defeat a bill to extend Schiavo's life. "I believe in the separation of powers," he said last month in Largo. "The backbone of democracy is to have an independent judiciary."
Ah yes, that beloved, cherished personal right to put dependent, disabled family members to death, ensuring that they will never recover well enough to tell the story of how they became disabled in the first place. Yes, I'm sure that was on the list, right after "Life, Liberty..."
Yes, the Dems may believe that the "right to die" gives them a political edge. So I fully support the Far Left's right to die (politically speaking.)
It's such a huge moral issue, but my feeling has always been that a judge doesn't have the moral authority to decide at which moment a person's life is no longer worth living. So far as the polls go, I think a numb public got tired of following Terri Schiavo's long saga and voted to 'pull it' like cancelling a TV show.
I wouldn't be surprised if Michael Schiavo runs for office one day himself, to the glee of the Kevorkianites and the 'Pro-Death Party.'
"the Dems may believe that the "right to die" gives them a political edge. "
Except this was not a "right to die" issue, it was a "right to murder your inconvenient spouse" issue.
And I believe that was what happened here.. judicial murder by decree. Terri didn't live to tell the whole story, but every effort made by Michael Schiavo was to prevent any outcome other than her death. He also gets the Scott Peterson Award for appearing blatantly more suspicious with each action he took.
Why is it gall to name the PAC after his wife, for whose rights he had to spend years fighting?!? Gall is required to tell a man that you know his wife and her wishes better than he does!
Michael Schiavo, the man famous for murdering his wife while the whole world watched, said that? Hmmm...
In other words, "Up is down, and down is up." Have you forgotten he spent years fighting to kill her? He fought to deprive her of the right to live. He fought tooth and nail against her rights. Sheesh!
It takes a hell of a lot of nerve to kill your spouse and then tell others that you also know what's best for them.
