I just read Terri met HINO at a dentist office. Another reason to hate going to the dentist.
Crist isn’t polling well for VP so McCain will probably pick him. CC’s so called chick’s family runs a century old Halloween company in New York. That figures, doesn’t it? Not Christmas,4th of July but Halloween. The name is tricky to remember. sptimes.
The chair controversy - to discuss anything but that an innocent women was being murdered yards away from vigilers and her family. It was state sponsored homicide as medicaid and the state did it to her for Mikey.
“Crist isn’t polling well for VP “
Do you have a link for VP polls?
I think Senator Thune would be a great choice, because he’s conservative and young, and McCain needs both in a VP.
We may get this abstract to post from the Los Angeles Times, but they charge for the rest of it and do not allow us to post more than an extract anyway.

He was called into the [TERRI SCHIAVO] case by the Florida Department of Children and Families' Adult Protective Services, which was seeking custody of Schiavo on grounds that she was the victim of neglect and abuse.
Until Wednesday, the most visible doctor who maintained that Schiavo showed signs of consciousness and should not be allowed to die was Dr. William Hammesfahr, a Tampa-area neurologist who examined Schiavo in 2002.
[David Magnus], who also reviewed [William P. Cheshire]'s affidavit, was concerned that the neurologist based his contention that Schiavo had been misdiagnosed in part on a controversial research paper published last month in the journal Neurobiology.

"This definitely tends to intensify over time," said Jack Aiello, a Rutgers University psychology professor. Noting that judicial decisions have come down against those seeking to prolong [Terri Schiavo]'s life, Aiello said their decreasing options are "clearly fueling the fires."
The attacks on his character have become talk-show fodder and high-profile commentary, from the Wall Street Journal's editorial pages to website chat rooms and morning drive-time call-ins. It has also raised the emotional temperature among those standing vigil outside the hospice, where 60 to 80 protesters chant and sing in hopes that Terri Schiavo's life will be extended and where a handful of right-to-die advocates denounce the intrusions.

“But critics cite his conservative Christian background.”
I wonder if the same “critics” cited the antilife backgrounds of the people who wanted Terri to be killed, like Michael Schiavo, who also had BOTH of his parents starved and dehydrated to death, or euthanasia activist ACLU attorney George Felos.
Major media organizations paint the pitched battle over the life of Terri Schiavo as a clear- cut debate between pro-life and right-to-die advocates, bankrolled by big money activist organizations on both sides. But the case of the 41-year-old brain-injured Florida woman is anything but clear cut.
The little-publicized nuances of her 15-year saga often get lost amid the smoldering, post-election political warfare reignited by the intervention of Congress on behalf of Terri. But as President Bush pointed out in a statement on Terri Schiavo, "there are serious questions and substantial doubts" in her case..............

A family like this will have their fierce hurts, and will have blessings. We may pray for those who take the other choices and face a void they do not yet see.

Call to action, also, any who lurk here and can do anything! The killers are implementing their plan in echo of the Easter past, for Terri.
This is not reaching the news media.
We have been quiet on her case since not much was public, but certainly things have happened. The death cloud which drifted over Terri now hovers over her on this third deathaversary. The blood lust is there, the killers are there and their victim is being prepared for their sacrifice.
Little has reached the news media but this reached us from Lauren's desperate father. Thanks, Les.
...........................................
Lauren's mother and I were scheduled to talk in a mediation hearing on March 14th, but they canceled. It was then set for April 7th. This past week we were informed that Jon Eisenberg and team are now helping in the fight to end Lauren's life. Do you think they were going to discuss a way to allow Lauren a chance? It seems Lauren's mother will stop at nothing. We know this turn of events is for Eisenberg's 15 minutes of fame and a book deal. I want to try and stop anyone from financial gain by exploiting my daughter. It just seems to get worse every week.
We are still waiting on the courts to determine their position at this time.
Asking for your prayer and support. Randy Richardson
Jon Eisenberg is a zealous Right To Die Lawyer that was involved in the Schiavo case.
Here are some questions with some disturbing answers:
1.) The real question is, is Laurens mother stable enough tomake life and death decision's for her own daughter?
Question #1 - I do not think so. She has a medical history of emotional problems and suicide attempts. The court refused to look at this evidence. My lawyers had the medical reports, but I was not allowed to see them.
(3.) Why is she still guardian over Laurens baby daughter if she's
not willing to give her own daughter a second chance at life?
Question #3 - The courts do not care about her with the baby. We have not been able to get to court yet. She has postponed that trial 4 times now.
5.) Other than the fact that the courts allowed her "hearsay",
reason of what Lauren supposedly said to her, why does she
want her own daughter to die?
Question #5 - Everyone that knows Lauren thinks the comment was made up. It came too late is this struggle to be true. With the help from her lawyers the story went to trial and became a fact instead of the lie it really is. If Lauren could recover, the truth and the baby would be made known and Lauren's mother would be nothing. No attention would be given to her and she could stop this death march she is on.
9.) Seeking a prominent Right to Die lawyer may be evidence of
her zealous to see Lauren dead.
Question #9 - She personally asked this lawyer to take the case. He is free and looking for a book deal. I wonder is she gets anything for this arrangement? Edith has removed all religious items and pictures from Lauren's room. She did not visit on Easter. I think she has left the evil lawyers to finish her mess. I do not understand. Lauren does not deserve to be treated like this. I think Edith's law team went to our local paper and is having a story placed about Lauren and her arrest record to change public opinion. Lauren only had these problems while living and dealing with her mother. Why a mother would turn against her only daughter? I do not know. It is the most sorry thing I have ever seen. I have no respect for Edith. Everyone is praying for her and we will continue to pray that things change. God knows all the answers and maybe we will be part of the truth when he reveals it.

VANCOUVER - All the doctors involved in her treatment at Vancouver General Hospital agreed: Alecsandrina Priboi was dying.
There was no hope for recovery, no point to continuing life support.
Priboi's daughter, Georgeta Rotaru, did not accept that conclusion and last month went to B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver to force medical staff to continue her 80-year-old mother's life support and medication.
Although relatively rare, more of these end-of-life court disputes are ending up in Canadian courts, says lawyer Christopher Grauer, who represented VGH and medical staff in the Priboi challenge.
There was a similar case in B.C. court last week and another in a Manitoba court last month.
In Manitoba, Samuel Golubchuk's children argued it would be a sin under the Orthodox Jewish faith to "hasten" his death by removing a ventilator and feeding tube. They were granted a temporary injunction to keep the 84-year-old man on life support until a trial judge can rule on the issue.
In the past, most right-to-life or death cases that landed in court made the opposite argument, Grauer said.
"Most of the cases to do with medical treatment, they want the court to allow family to take the patient off life support," he explained.
Either way, such cases are among the most emotionally charged and wrenching for all parties involved.
Who can forget the toxic battle between family members of Terri Schiavo, the 41-year-old American woman who suffered a heart attack in 1990, causing brain damage and paralysis?
Her husband Michael sought to withdraw the feeding tube keeping his wife alive while her parents fought to keep treatment going.
The feud played out publicly for two years, until Schiavo became a household name across North America. She died in March 2005, 13 days after the feeding tube was removed.
Priboi also died. But her daughter Rotaru said her court challenge, heard three days before her mother died, was worth it.
"It gave my mother the right to die with dignity," Rotaru said about her court case, which was made public when written reasons were posted on the B.C. Supreme Court website a week ago......................

The U.S. Supreme Court refused on Thursday for the fifth time to take up the case of Terri Schiavo, and a judge in Florida turned down a separate appeal, leaving few options for those working frantically for the reinstatement of the feeding tube that has kept the brain-damaged woman alive. The justices did not explain their decision. The high court historically has left end-of-life cases with state courts. All nine justices deliberated on the matter, which originally was referred to Justice Anthony Kennedy, who is responsible for appeals from the Florida region. The action followed a flurry of lower-court findings that failed to find ...

For all the supporters of the husband of Terri Schiavo: Florida state and federal judges have imposed the death sentence. This should please him. What crime or sin is Terri guilty of? Her husband is living in adultery. Could his motive be money, the same motive Judas used when he betrayed Jesus Christ?
Isn't it sad when security stands at the door so parents can't feed their dying daughter, while our liberal judges and government argue over her life?...............
