Find out the TRUTH about Terris Fight for life

I purchased this book last year, and found it to be one of the best references for facts in Terri Schiavo's case. Reading this book is like sitting down with Cheryl and Jan, and listening/watching them present the actual evidence and truth about so many things that the mainstream "pro euthanasia" media has refused to tell. You will see the actual hospital documents, police reports, and so much more.

I will warn you though, that once you learn about the judicial misconduct, FL laws broken, the details of Michaels malpractice case,(money was paid under the claim that Terri had a heart attack brought on by potassium imbalance that was undetected. The autopsy confirmed this assumption was bogus, and that Terri never had a heart attack brought on by anything. The news however, is consistently reporting to this day that the autopsy confirmed the heart attack! There is a lot more about the autopsy that has never been reported. The geniuses reported that the autopsy proves Terri was not strangled, however, it only proves that 15 years later, there is no sign of soft tissue damage - nor would there be if someone was strangled that long ago!) Reporters should be charged with a misleading the public charge for purposely reporting assumptions as truth. And why is it that all the TV stations do not disclose that Terris records were SEALED by Judge Greer?

No one reports on the bone scan that indicated a tremendous force hit her, as well as the multiple fractures and other damage. ****HBO Autopsy Dr. Himself, Mr Baden, had commented on the bone scan before Terris death, and suggested there may have been foul play.*** There is so much corruption involved in Terris case, Pro death judges making their political position the law, instead of obeying the law and keeping their opinions out of it! Greer sealed her case, so why isnt any anchors asking about that? Why were Michaels prescribed anti depressant bottles witnessed by the police the night of the "Incident" taken as evidence? Why were Terris friends and family not questioned regarding Michaels attitude, or any marital problems? The first report on what happened at the Schiavo residence, was titled a homicide. Why was it changed? What happened to the woodwards and Bernsteins in our country? Now each network or cable news feeds off the other, like vultures. They report the same story over and over, from reuters or the like, and rarely ever investigate it themselves. Newspapers follow suit. If someone investigated the five different interviews that Schiavo has given to the media and police reports, Michael Schiavo might very well be behind bars, in the cell next to Scott Peterson.

There is actually v ery little difference between the two, the more you learn about what may very well have happened that night to Terry. Yet strangely, Matt Lauer and Larry King, and all the other news media does not bring up these questions, or question Michael why in the 7 years after Terris "incident" did he never ever tell a soul about Terris wishes that for seven years he supposedly denied? No media outlet reported on the testimony that Schiavo told other people that he had no idea what Terri would have wanted, as they had never spoken of something like that happening in any context. The only time Michael did come out with this revelation was after he asked his girlfriend to marry him, and all of a sudden there was a rush to get rid of Terri and whooops, there it is, a million dollar inheritance!

If someone is in a position to gain something from another persons death, they should not be the guardian of that person. PERIOD. For all the sappy journalists that report that Michael became a nurse to take care of Terry, the truth is that he did not really "care" for Terry. He bossed around nurses, on a Schiavo power trip but he didnt take care of Terri. Did anyone report on the testimony of nurses that said that Terri would be visibly shaken after his visits, and afraid, crying, etc? Did they report that there were nurses that made entries in Terris medical file about things Michael said or did, or how Terri responded, and Michael would see to it that they were removed?

I could go on and on! If you care about the truth, learn more about this case, not just what you hear your TV anchor saying. We all owe that to Terri, because at the very least, what happened to her will affect all of the laws regarding other disabled people like her.

Of course the "Pro Death" movement hates this book, which is why I see some entries in the reviews desperately trying to persuade others to pass it up. They dont want you to see it, which is why you need to see it. Cheryl, who is by the way, a registered nurse gave up her life on the West coast as a consultant to the Schindlers during the fight for Terris life. She was on the inside, aware of all of the facts regarding Terris injuries, her marriage, the inconsistent interviews, Testimonies regarding the night of Terris "incident", and so much more. Ford and Craddock do the legwork in reading all of the court documents, and bring out the parts that others left buried. Cheryl also led thousands of Terris supporters, that grew once the videos were released. Here michael and Judge Greer were talking of Terri as if she were in a coma, as if she were sleeping and not responsive at all. Greer and Schiavo were furious that the videos were released to the public. That now there was proof that Terri was aware, and did respond to family, dr's questions, and requests, could track things with her eyes. Another fallacy of the autopsy was that Terri could not see. False. It was stated that to be sure that Terri could or could not see, a doctor would have to do just what the videos did. They would have to examine her and see how much she was able to see - and any moron could tell that Terri could see to some extent after recognizing family, and following baloons and lights she was requested to follow. The fight4terri group worked 24/7 through internet emails, faxes, phone calls, letters, protests, to reach those with the power to save Terris life.

Anyone upset about the facts in this book, is really angry that the truth is coming out in it. when the truth comes out, the advocates for people like Terri have their agendas pushed back once again. If people like Terri and others with Alzheimers and brain damage, chronic disease, etc are looked at as liabilities within the health system rather than human beings who still have worth, who still have hope, and who still have a right to live with simple food and water. Terri, was not on any machines as was reported on many programs, she was not weak, my Lord, she lasted 14 days without one drop of water. Many of us who are healthy would not last one quarter of that time.

Without this book, you will be missing a great deal of the story on Terris life, the autopsy, as well as what really happened before, during, and after Terri was injured. The book is well written and what really went on in Terri's life will keep you glued to the pages. I am purchasing additional books for lawmakers in hopes of changing our country's guardianship laws. I would encourage everyone who reads it to do the same, if you want to stop seeing other innocent people like Terri sentenced to death. There are many more than Terri, every day, who die silently, with no one to speak for them. The hospice agenda of starving patients has gone out of control. Terri and others like her, are dying painful, horrible deaths, in rooms far away from Katie Courick, Matt Lauer or Larry King. They are dying with nurses and doctors standing by, ignoring the oath they took not to harm their patients. These are people who never agreed to such torture, and pain. People being starved, guilty of being disabled, and needing someone to bring the food and water to their mouth, to a straw or to a longer straw going into the stomach if their swallowing is affected. there is no difference. The Judge in Terris case (Greer) didnt mandate that she only have the tube taken out, he mandated that even if Terri could eat or drink sustenance by mouth, it would not be offered to her, by his decree. He made sure that police would be there to see that no one allowed Terri to even attempt to eat or drink on her own, regardless of testimony from numerous nurses that she could and did indeed eat on their shifts, jello, pudding and other soft or liquid foods. Instead, given that testimony from multiple sources, Greer made sure that no tests would be done on Terri to confirm whether or not she could eat by mouth! He mandated that Terri do nothing less than DIE. We dont starve murderers, it would be too cruel a death. However, for those with disabilities who can not speak, they are the ones who are forced to suffer that fate, by a Judge who never ever went to see Terri once in all the years that her case was in the courts. Bottom line, we need laws that insure food and water be given to any person without a clear written and signed directive. We need to make sure that men who move on and take another family do not get to decide whether hat happens to the woman they left behind. Every womens group that turned a deaf ear to Terri, should be totally ashamed. ACLU as well. The same Judge that was appointed to watch over Terris medical funds to make sure they were there for her, should not have been able to allow her husband to take them, and buy an expensive lawyer that he could not afford on his own with her medical care money! You will see the judicial misconduct in this case and it will make you scream! If the world knew what was in this book before Terri died, she would be alive right now! My gratitude to Ford and Craddock for such an excellent and much needed book.

Judge Greer REFUSED to allow testing to make sure his death cultist attorneys, judges,aclu and atheists got what they wanted. ESCALATION of forced exits.

Terri wanted to live. The feeding tube was not life support. It was just Ensure. They wrote laws to kill Terri. They refused to revisit laws that made food medical treatment.

The judges however committed felonies bec it is a felony to deny nutrition and hydration from a disabled person.

STOP FELONS! America, do you get it yet? F.S. 824 or 825 (somewhere in there).

TERRI WAS MURDERED FOR THE PURPOSE OF ESCALATION and Vigil attendants were guinea pigs to see how homeland security would act. Shortly thereafter, Katrina hit and homeland security couldnt handle that either.

They didn't learn anything pushing vigilers around. And, mean? They were so callous and mean that I thought I was behind the iron curtain. The media sensationalized what was going on. It was all planned out. Sickening that Amerika's justice system and politicians killed an innocent woman.

Terri wanted to live. The feeding tube was not life support. It was just Ensure. They wrote laws to kill Terri. They refused to revisit laws that made food medical treatment.

Had Terri been a simple criminal, she would be alive today.

Ex post facto laws (changing the definition of life support AFTER Terri's injuries) are expressly forbidden in the Constitution and a forces dehydration and starvation stretched out over an indefinite period of time would clearly meet any definition of "cruel and unusual punishment."

The Florida Constitution gives expressed rights and protections for the disabled, which in Terri's case were totally ignored.

Terri had no advanced directives either. She did however say to her best friend, "Where there is life, there is hope." Judge Greer did evidence tampering with Terri's words so he could VOID THEIR MEANING.

Judge Greer was hell bent on killing Terri. He got so many awards for killing her from death lawyers, the aclu, scientology's lawyer, Clwtr Bar, Pasco Bar.Greer got at least 9 awards from his scumbag ambulance chasing liberal atheistic cabal.

Michael Schiavo was named guardian of the year. They couldn't do any better than scoundrel? Sheriff Everett Rice hired Micheal Schiavo and then paid him time off so MS could keep Terri's real family from seeing her as she lay dying w/out water or nutrition. After Sheriff Rice hired Michael Schiavo, he took an uncontested seat in Tallahassee and VOTED TO KILL TERRI.

The attorneys (bad ones) want to take away people's inalienable rights. That is how they earn a living. ROBBER BARONS all.

Terri's Legacy List exists for a reason. It is more than a ping list imo.

Obama's no superman... repeat:

Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, by reputation a dynamic performer, was reserved and cautious as he talked about a donor with a shady past, how he would respond to a terrorist attack on American shores and his biggest mistake (not doing more to stop Congress from intervening in the Terri Schiavo case, he said).

Obama supports euthanasia (culture of death).

Obama is farther to the left on abortion than almost ANYONE out there. He believes that a baby who is born alive after an abortion should still be killed.

Just watched it. Duncan Hunter punctuated the point that defending Terri was right, as did Sen. Brownback. Rudy who already said he supported a woman’s right to, uhhhhh, choose, thought the judges (Greer, Whittmore) were dandy. McVain danced and said the government did wrong.

Somebody more attentive than I can give a better account.

Mitt tried to sidestep.

Yes, Terri’s Legacy was brought up to all, in terms of whether it was right for the government to intervene. Terri’s Legacy is a watershed.

Terri's Legacy sprinkled with media bias in commentary on last night...

On the contentious issue of abortion -- where many simply want to know where a candidate stands -- the debate perhaps created a problem for Giuliani while Romney got a chance to explain why he switched sides.

The former New York mayor, who stands out in the 10-man race because he calls himself "pro-choice," appeared to waffle when candidates were asked if they favored the repeal of the landmark Supreme Court Roe v. Wade ruling guaranteeing women the right to abortion.

~Snip~

The debate showed some fissures among the Republican 2008 hopefuls: They were divided on the need for national identification cards and whether Congress was right to inject itself in the Terry Schiavo right-to-die case.

Issues divide, Reagan unites... Republican presidential candidates find enough to quarrel about -- but they all love one man

Another media "giant" terms the Terri topic at the debate again in the baloney of right-to-die...

Still, they managed to spell out their differences on a variety of issues, including abortion, stem cell research and congressional intervention in the Terri Schiavo right-to-die case

Differences emerge as Republicans debate Bush is rarely invoked, Reagan is repeatedly, as the 10 GOP presidential hopefuls each promise change if elected in '08.

Ellis Heneican spells Terri's name wrong, too...

McCain and Giuliani did stand out the most, along with minor libertarian Ron Paul. On immigration. Or Iran. On end-of-life decisions. "In retrospect, we should have taken more time," McCain said of Congress' aggressive leap into the emotional Terry Schiavo case. "That what we have courts for," Giuliani agreed.

On Rudy....

...................................

Losers: For one major candidate, this may just be a blip in the radar. For the 2nd-tier folks, this is a nail in the coffin.

Rudy Giuliani - I really think he’s having delusions that he’s been possessed by the spirit of Ronald Reagan. Most responses either referenced Reagan or how he “saved” New York. When abortion came around, he hemmed and hawed and made no sense. When the question of how the candidates are different from Bush came around he stepped right in line with Bush. He seems willing to decide issues when he’s conservative enough for the Republicans and push issues to the courts when he’s not (i.e. abortion, Schiavo). Overall, I think he created some questions about himself that will erode his support. He’s got enough juice to turn it around if he can play it right, but this certainly showed some big cracks in his armor. I think this might be the first sign to true conservatives that he’s not one of them.

More Rudy...

...................................

National Review's Rich Lowry put it best: "This might be ... the night when Rudy stopped being solely the hero of 9/11 and started being a presidential candidate like everyone else. It was inevitable at some point."

BTW: he's going to get some heat for his Terri Schiavo answer. Tonight, Giuliani said the matter should have been left to the courts. But in '04, he supported the federal government's intervention.

Sen. Brownback...

.............................

Losers

Sam Brownback - Another candidate who doesn’t believe in evolution, we might as well just call Brownback The 700 Club candidate. He is just out to play to the social conservatives, and he mostly looked foolish and out of touch with the events of today. In short his candidacy will have its plug pulled like Teri Schiavo.

Thread by wagglebee on pro-death bishop stance...

AUSTIN, May 3, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Catholic Bishops of Texas have endorsed a utilitarian theory that allows doctors and hospital bioethics committees to refuse life-saving treatments to patients who need and request them.

Renowned lawyer and bioethics critic Wesley J. Smith has slammed the Texas Catholic Conference for opposing a bill that would allow patients an extra ten days to find alternate care facilities for patients who have been refused care on utilitarian grounds.

Alarming alarm and hurt feelings, thread by wagglebee...

At the beginning of her dissent in the recent Partial Birth Abortion (PBA) case, Gonzalez v. Carhart, Justice Ginsburg, joined by Justices Stevens, Souter and Breyer, called the majority's decision "alarming." Though there is nothing legally alarming about this decision, Justice Ginsburg and other abortion advocates' feelings were deeply hurt by what they consider an intrusion on their rights.
