Charlie Crist Let My Daughter Die
by Robert Schindler, Sr. Posted Jul 31, 2006
As most Americans know, on March 31, 2005, my daughter, Terri Schindler Schiavo died of starvation and thirst after having her feeding tube removed by court order. The sad chain of events that concluded with Terri’s death ignited a media firestorm nationally and internationally. What few saw or heard was the callous inaction of aspiring governor Charlie Crist.
Florida Atty. Gen. Charlie Crist let my daughter die. He had it within his authority to save her life, but he turned a blind eye to her suffering. Even worse, he worked to ensure her death.
Terri lived in a neurologically compromised state for reasons that are still unknown, and my family wanted nothing more than permission to care for Terri for the span of her natural life. We were denied.
My daughter tenaciously fought for her life for more than 13 days after being deprived of the most basic, natural and constant need that we all share—the need for nourishment—food and water. Terri was not on a respirator, nor terminally ill. She was not dying, nor succumbing to a dreadful disease. She was disabled. She was dependent on others, but still very much a life, a woman, and a person.
Over the course of several years, our family, our lawyers, and our friends pleaded for help from local, county, and state police and regulatory agencies with constitutional and statutory authority to investigate the many sworn statements of extreme abuse and neglect suffered by our daughter.
Hoping to save my daughter’s life, our family sought the help of Attorney General Charlie Crist. Not only did Charlie Crist refuse our family lawful access to the assets of his office, but he violated his oath of office by actively cooperated with those in positions of political and judicial authority whom denied us legal access to the police and regulatory systems meant to protect the weak. Multiple sworn agents from responsible police and regulatory agencies who found probable cause to investigate allegations of abuse in Terri's judicial and physical care, were ordered to shut down those probes. This heavy-handedness made us powerless.
Information of direct interest to Attorney General Charlie Crist's office was directly delivered to his personal hands, and he refused to properly execute the duties of his office. And it was with deliberate decision that he failed to attend a scheduled Tallahassee meeting with our family. On another occasion, we approached each other by chance. Upon recognizing me, Charlie Crist abruptly stopped and walked away.
That callous action encapsulates Charlie Crist. He walked away from a man whose daughter’s fate he controlled. At that moment, he turned his back on Terri. And he turned his back on the most fundamental duties of his office.
It is quite clear that Charlie Crist, to this day, has demonstrated no public affection for the cause of life, or Christianity, or any set of core values. He has been posturing to become governor for decades. With each voting audience he has crafted a message based on the expediency of the moment.
To add insult to injury, at a recent banquet, our alleged pro-life candidate for the Governor of Florida said the following about Judge George Greer and other judges involved in the death of my daughter, "You are heroes to all of us, and your defense of the judiciary and what is right is beyond admirable."
Through his actions, Charlie Crist has demonstrated that he has no regard for our most vulnerable citizens, the high duties of public office, or life itself. Charlie Crist’s celebration of the merciless judges who condemned Terri to death speaks to his true character.

No, no, no. They won't "die." They will have a rich, meaningful "dying experience."

All well and good, but would George Felos be at their side with the same benevolent smile as they pass to the "other side"?

The answer can be found in the experiences of five people: Ronald Reagan, Henry Hyde, Ramesh Ponnuru, Wesley Smith, and myself. And their stories, I think, are roughly representative of what a multitude of others went through as they came to embrace the cause of saving unborn children. The five experienced two things in common that should be easy to spot as we look at their five cases.

And, none of those in the Miami hospital ever met Terri or examined her and would deny the existence of the videotape where Terri followed instructions or the audiotape of Terri crying when her dad told her the tube was coming out.
By the way, the race is tightening. GALLAGHER IS GAINING ON CHARLIE CRIST! The primary is Tuesda night. Hopefully undecideds will make the right decision and vote for TOM GALLAGHER.
Crist can't beat the dems because he's similar to Jim Davis and Jim Davis isn't a couch jumper like Crist.
STAY AWAY FROM DR. LINDA'S MIAMI DEATH CARE SYSTEM
If she's hurting patients in Miami, somebody better find out.
And, Doctor Linda's poll where a big hospital chose Crist overwhelmingly, it proves that doctors in Florida think that murder is a medical decision.
Are they killing patients in Miami or exactly what are they doing down there? Why are they 96% for Crist? Are they in the death lobby at work and in their spare time?
Please read 8mmmauser's posts re: WND.
MURDER IS NOT A MEDICAL DECISION. These people are for Crist. Why? Because they are euthanasists, including CHARLIE CRIST.

I encourage reading the WND opinion and the link on the page, to Jerri Ward's blog,She was the one who advocated for Andrea Clark and brought light to the Texas Futile Care law.

Just thought you'd like to know that most, if not all, medical personnel here in Miami are endorsing and voting for Charlie Crist for governor. I'm a physician in Miami and my colleagues, both doctors and nurses, have been strong advocates against any public official who had the audacity to interfere in what should have been a family medical decision. Yes, that's right. Our hospital had a poll two weeks ago which showed that 96 percent of us are voting for Crist, and we hold politicians accountable.Terri Schiavo had the cognition of a bag of lettuce. We've had many cases like hers since, but we're smarter now. We'll never let the religious fright know. The psychochristians, like you, have no place in the medical field. Neither do ignoramuses like the Schindlers. If you're interested, we're having a huge celebration after Charlie wins next week. Gallagher doesn't have a chance in hell of winning. Sorry!

Besides the poll certainly should not have been conducted. That had to have been illegal but at least it shows that Charlie Crist is not pro-life. He would have helped Terri if he was...

"Terri Schiavo was in fact murdered by being deprived of food and water for 13 days. The reason Michael Schiavo's attorney George Felos was so upset that I said this is because he is a euthanasia advocate, and the only way to advance euthanasia is to sugar-coat it, and never call it murder. But it is. Moreover, it is inaccurate to describe Terri Schiavo's death as peaceful and gentle. I was with her for several hours the night before she died and again the next morning up until ten minutes before she died. She was in an agony unlike anything I have ever seen, and to describe it in any other way is irresponsible and dishonest.

dr Linda's letter is shocking but sadly, not really.
I avoid the medical world like the plague!
Years ago, I went to a meeting with hospice workers.
When dr Kevorkian's name came up they cheered!
Well, that's mighty professional of Dr. Linda! / sarc
Probably just a hoax by your typical sicko. Could've been written by Mickey himself for all we know.
Yeah, it's probably a hoax but the hoaxer endorsed Charlie Crist. It proves that they are getting desperate in the Crist campaign if his supporters have to perpetrate a hoax.
What a despicable thing to say.
