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.

While I really like Sean Hannity (usually), I was very disappointed in him today.
A caller told Sean how Charlie Crist was pro-abortion & pro-civil unions, & the caller was going to say more, but Sean cut him short, and told him that he had some kind of agenda, & Sean was going to support whoever won the FL primaries.
Obviously, Sean isn't familiar with the gubernatorial nominees in FL, but I was disappointed when Sean made this blanket statement that he would support WHICHEVER Republican won. In the past Sean has said that he is a conservative first, not a Republican.
Maybe Floridians would have better luck if they called Matt Drudge or Mark Levin.
ON ANOTHER SUBJECT: Donald Trump is a big fundraiser for Charlie Crist. Trump fired his blonde assistant just yesterday. It's too bad she doesn't start helping Tom Gallagher in these final days.
I want to find out about all the foreign money Crist accepted in New Jersey at a Trump fundraiser. In Florida, green card holders can donate to campaigns but that does not speak of what kind of businesses they are in. (it's dangerous imo to allow any foreigners access to our politicians).
Doctors celebrating in Miami reminds me of aq sympathizers celebrating in NY. It's a culture of death either way. Dr. Linda and Charlie Crist, a perfect couple.

Sean has OFTEN said that he is conservative FIRST, then Republican.
Surely he must know that primaries are the best way to get rid of RINO liberals.
Sean Hannity (whom I agree with 85% of the time) supports Lieberman, rather than the Republican candidate in Connecticut, but told a caller that in FLORIDA, Sean would support whichever Republican wins the primaries.
Go figure.
I'm going to e-mail Sean and hope others will join me. Maybe if he knows more about the candidates, he will support Gallagher, the conservative gubernatorial candidate.

More at my post #1343!
The call to action was a big success in more ways than one. Mission accomplished.
see my last post. bring your moral absolutists over here.
It reminded me of Charlie Crist in the last debate saying "I want your haaaarrrrrrrrt".
CC can't have my vote or my haaaarrrrrt. EVER.
As if I couldn't guess : )
Although humble, I thought mine was the best : )
A 10 to 1 ratio is a very respectful number.
Which post are you talking about?
Well, of course it was. Besides, nobody else paid them any attention, so that makes the vote 2-0 :-)
I think we could work this out to a tie if we wanted too : )
