This thread serves as a place for posting all new general information and references, along with links following Terri's case, plus information on cable news and talk radio shows dealing with the issue, court cases and press releases. This is also the place to post contact information, prayers and general discussion.

If you have something that qualifies as BREAKING NEWS or FRONT PAGE NEWS, please post it on a separate thread in that category in order to give it maximum exposure and then post a link to the article/thread here so that it will be included in the next update of links. Also, if you post links to articles from original sources and there is also a thread on FR, please link to the FR thread. Many original links become corrupt over time and we want to be able to access the information at will.

You will notice that this thread is not specifically dated. That is because we are just going to keep this one going until we have need of another one.

A reminder: please do not post personal information on the public forum. We have lots of folks on scene down in Florida and we don't want them having any problems with the death squad.

[floriduh voter]

Thanks. I'll work on pictures tomorrow. Brief but memorable coverage of our protest this evening by local Fox affiliate.

[cyn]

btw, I REALLY like that picture of you in the fur coat, Nanook of the North (St. Petersburg)! Good night -- rest well & warm. Thanks again.

[M0sby]

This is an amazing article...IT DOES INDEED, as another FReeper mentioned, deserve its own thread...if for no other reason than it could be easily bookmarked.

Very well written.
Thank you for the post.

[windchime]

Thank you, FV!

[nicmarlo]

Bump for pics! : )

[nicmarlo]

perhaps, magoo, you should still consider posting that article on its own thread?

[amdgmary]

Attorney Ken Connor, attorney to Governor Bush, is scheduled to speak to Greta van Susteren 01-09-04 on "On the Record" about Terri's case.

"It's so quiet! Where is everyone?"

I thought so too - This thread doesn't pop up on top of the list. Wonder if it's time for a new one.

[a5478]

I didn't know Greta was going to give air to Terri. How did you find out? I've written several times to her show requesting she focus on this case. I hope I haven't missed something. Did not get to watch TV last night. Do you know for certain if Terri was on?

[a5478]

Sure sounds like you are making headway in getting media attention. A few minutes here and there can add up. If anyone has the addresses of your local news affiliates that broadcast the rally, please post.

Maybe the rest of us can send them a note and let them know it was noticed!

To the people there in Florida who work so hard - I am praying that God will multiply the fruit of your works.

[msmagoo]

Thanks for the update, Floriduh! Can't wait to see the pictures. It's c-c-c-c-cold here today....how was it at the rally?

Just received in email - Greta will have KEN CONNOR on tonight! whoo hoo!

Tonight, January 9, 2004, attorney Ken Connor is scheduled to appear on "On the Record with Greta van Susteren" to discuss the latest news in Schiavo v Bush. Ms. Susteren's site is on http://www.foxnews.com/ontherecord/ and you can find your local listings on http://tv.yahoo.com/

Barring any last minute changes in Ms. Susteren's program schedule, you will be able to hear Mr. Connor discuss the case regarding the constitutionality of "Terri's Law", the law that allowed Florida's Governor, Jeb Bush, to order sustenance returned to Terri Schindler-Schiavo.

Would someone with a ping list start a thread on this topic, please? TY

Through www.terrisfight.org. This was revealed at the protest last night and confirmed today by email from www.terrisfight.org. If you go there, you may be able to get updates via email. Jan. 9th Greta Van Sustern WITH JEB BUSH'S LEGAL COUNSEL, KEN CONNOR. A really big deal this evening. floriduh voter

"Tell Badray how cold it was, fv! He's the one who thought to bring a space heater for us, lol! We sure did (& still do!) love him for that."

I've known for a long time that the quickest way to a woman's heart is to make sure she's warm and toasty. ;-)

I agree, it would be great for this to have it's own thread, but just an FYI regarding the bookmarking thing - if you want to bookmark a particular post from a thread, just click on the post number, and when the page reloads, the address in the address bar will be for that post. Just bookmark it from there. That is also how some people will link to a particular post from another thread.

[a5478]

Thanks!

I've sent an email to her show. Hope others will compound the attention by sending her a note of encouragement.

You know how the media loves attention! I will be watching tonight.

[floriduh voter]

I'm series about putting pictures on the Daily Thread. But, I need to get to the drug store first. I've been at Fr too long AGAIN!

[wisconsinconservative]

ping to 419 for later reading

[floriduh voter]

No kick boxing or karate. Terri's Angels Pray.

[msmagoo]

Thanks for the ping to the FOX thread, floriduh voter, and the tip about bookmarking iowamom. A new thread with a link here would have worked, too.

FL_engineer, pinging you to Ken Connor's interview with Greta tonight (see post 471). Looking forward to your thoughts afterward.

Also, I found an excellent article in Christianity Today about a quadraplegic woman who met Terri right before her feeding tube was removed. Her faith is what saved her life. She is remarkable person, very active with her own radio show, and a great spokesperson for the rights of the disabled.

A Heaven-made Activist
Joni Eareckson Tada is driven forward by hymns of praise and her sovereign God.

from the article:

Last October she traveled to Florida, visiting Terri Schiavo just as her feeding tube was about to be cut off. "I can't explain it, I just had to be there. This was so important to the lives of thousands of Americans with disabilities. I had to be there to stand with the parents and bring as much attention as I could rally to this case, helping people to understand that this is a bias against disability. It's like the Roe v. Wade of the disabled.

"It was very moving to meet with Terri's parents. Our executive vice president, Doug Mazza, has a son who is about as disabled as Terri. He's non-communicative, he's blind, he's deaf, he has a feeding tube, and it was interesting to watch them talk. Several other parents came during the course of the day, parents of children who are also severely disabled. It was quite touching to see them embrace one another. Is my child next? When I get too old to take care of my child, and I have to place my child in an institution, who's to say there won't be some court long after I'm not around to pull my son's feeding tube?

"The media will convey it as an end-of-life story: Why don't you just let her die? That's not the point. She's not terminally ill. She's not brain dead. She's disabled. Like many disabled people, she is unable to tell us what future she'd prefer. She has left nothing saying that she would like to be starved to death. She never signed a legal document. Should we not err on the side of caution, and on the side of life?"

[floriduh voter]

Thanks, msmagoo. I want to post Gordon's picture here on Free Republic. I could go on for hours about his brain power. Suffice it to say that we're glad he's part of Terri's fight.
