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.

I'm out after the Sept. 5th primary.
If there's a goon like Crist in the governor's mansion and a goon for the next FLA AG, there's no point in taking part in the election process. In Florida, it is predetermined that the one with the most special interests wins.
The middle class and the weakest among us will disappear one way or the other. FV
Cute but I am not the one beating a dead uh horse.
We all know it was DIEBOLD which killed Terri.
The ACLU is fighting a cross on private property by a private organization right now. They cannot be for Christians if they are so offended by The Cross and so against the freedom of religion unless they are defending islamo-fascist terrorists.
Uh oh. Bells and whistles are going off. What are they up to now?
Do you mean that you've moved on to helping those who can still be helped? Like Haleigh Poutre and Scott Thomas. Or are you still insististing that they should all be killed?
I have never insisted that anyone be killed. Except terrorists and their supporters.
How does refusal to pretend become a insistence that someone be killed?
"My former friend "
Good move
We need a big sign on the I-4 interstate of Christ standing with Janet Reno..that would put get the voters attention.
Florida Governor Race Opinion Piece. If anyone wants the audio clip which was an attachment via email, please send me a private freepmail with your regular email address. It IS A clip of CHARLIE CRIST BETRAYING TERRI SCHIAVO, HER PARENTS AND HER BROTHER AND SISTER AND THE REST OF THE FREE WORLD.
WHY YOU SHOULDN'T VOTE FOR CHARLIE CRIST: Friends and a few who are not too friendly,
Take a moment to listen to Florida Attorney General Charlie Crist on a south Florida radio station for just over 2 minutes. This exchange is not deep, but it does illustrate Charlie's ability to say, "Yes," and "No," and "I haven't decided," in the same sentence. Charlie gives deliberately designed to confuse sound bite answers on abortion, Terri Schindler Schiavo, same sex abortion, rumors of being gay, same sex adoption, and civil unions.
This man is not fit to be governor, but the "I'm a nice family guy," lukewarm chicken soup campaign Tom Gallagher is running suggests Crist and and Gallagher have made a back room deal. Is it reasonable to speculate, after a short post election vacation, Charlie will announce Gallagher is being tapped for some spot that will keep him in the headlines.
***Forward this audio clip to every Republican primary voter in Florida, with a special emphasis on morally and spiritually well anchored Christians.
While Gallagher is ethically challenged using his government computer to trade stocks in companies he regulates, those trades have been for chump change, like friends entertaining themselves playing penny poker. Crist on the other hand used, abused his office, cooperating with an ethically and legally challenged George Greer and Bernie McCabe, to help kill an aware of self woman who screamed for her life. An official very close to McCabe conceded in a conversation with me about 2 years ago, killing a person who is aware of self is, quote, "Oh, that's FIRST DEGREE MURDER."

While Terri was being tortured to death inside of my pet name Hostage Woodside, regular Americans like me had federal, state and local guns pointed at us. When we noticed all that fire power, we knew deep down that that were going to murder Terri on the third attempt. She died on March 31, 2005. She was murdered. Charlie Crist should have been Terri's lawyer since she never had one of her own. She couldn't exactly look in the yellow pages to look for an attorney. She was snuffed out. It was evil. It was crooked. Florida did it to her.
BTTT
Gallagher's Camp catches up on emails when they are catching their breath. They are on the campaign trial today. The next head to head debate with Crist will be right before the primary. I hope Tim Russert or somebody like him makes mincemeat of Crist. It's within the realm of possibility.
FYI: Carla still has her nursing license. If her status changes, I'll post same here.
I visited the FEC web site. If somebody has a green card, they can donate to Florida campaigns. Isn't that a sweet deal? That would be multi-national corporate owners too.

In defense of FL, however, the Bible says this will happen in the last days: "the love of many shall wax cold", and though FL is HOT now, it has a shortage of love of one's fellow man, doesn't it?
Lieberman loses over the Iraq war but Mikey will think it is because it riled Connecticut voters that Joe Lieberman voted to save Terri. It was the war, not Michael Schiavo, the guy who misses a lot of work.
