TERRI SCHINDLER SCHIAVO DECEMBER, 2004 DAILIES THREAD: NEWS DIGEST & GRASSROOTS ACTIVISM

various sources | 12/1/04 | various sources

[cyn]

Welcome to Terri's December Dailies thread. This is where we place links to other Terri threads at Free Republic and other breaking news about Terri Schindler-Schiavo.

In addition, this is a place to meet and plan ways to use grassroots activism to help Terri's Fight.

If you are a newbie to Terri's Fight, I urge you to visit http://www.terrisfight.org where you can subscribe to their newsletter, can get up to speed on the court cases and the very long struggle.

Please consider joining us. The pay isn't very good lol but it is rewarding to help Terri nonetheless. Terri's life has as much value as anyone else's. The right to die movement needs a counter-balance. That freepers, is where we come in. -- floriduh voter

To help you keep up with most important and breaking news, ping or freepmail Ohioan from Florida and ask to be added to the “ping” (notification) list.

LAST MONTH/NOV TERRI DAILIES THREAD -- http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1264875/posts

Further note from floriduh voter: I placed this thread under "extended news". I would ask the admin mods to respect this placement. There's nothing more conservative than helping an innocent woman who is surrounded by activist judges and horrid laws that need to be revisited.

Finally, this is a reminder to please keep Terri in your thoughts and prayers. Terri's 41st birthday is on DECEMBER 3RD. Please post on TERRI’S BIRTHDAY CARD THREAD which will go to Terri's parents and siblings.

How important you are to Terri's Fight is immeasurable! -- floriduh voter

Oh, did I mention that we would really appreciate it if you could take a moment to sign or post something to TERRI’S BIRTHDAY CARD? :o) Don’t be shy, ya’ll! You're the best, you've been here for Terri for so long -- thanks so much.

I placed this thread under "extended news". I would ask the admin mods to respect this placement. There's nothing more conservative...

Many, many conservatives don't think the state, church or courts should have any say in an end of life issue. Please don't presume to speak for all conservatives.

[cyn]

This thread is dedicated to all those
many, many wonderful people on and off FR
who have been working for so long
to return Terri to her family's care.

Terri -- Home for the Holidays?

FL definition of persistent vegetative state, PVS:

• The absence of voluntary action or cognitive behavior of any kind.
• An inability to communicate or interact purposefully with the environment.

From video Terri Big Eyes; see it at http:www.terrisfight.org

Terri starts out apparently asleep. A doctor wakes her to start his tests.

Doctor: Terri. Open your eyes up...

Terri: (Startled at hearing her name. She starts moving her mouth and fluttering her eyes, like a person who is just waking up)

Doctor: Open your eyes, Terri open your eyes

Terri: (slowly at first, Terri struggles to open her eyes, then turns toward the doctor, and opens her eyes a normal amount)

Doctor: There you go, good.

Terri: (then, either to show off(?) or wanting to perform well, she leans further forward toward the doctor, looks straight at him and opens her eyes as WIDE AS SHE CAN. >> Note the WRINKLES ACROSS HER FOREHEAD caused by her also RAISING HER EYEBROWS as high as possible )

Doctor: [now obviously impressed] GOOD!! GOOD JOB! GOOD JOB YOUNG LADY! Good Job.

More info and links. -- http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1258807/posts#10 -- THANKS, FL engineer. THANKS, freepers.

I understand what you're saying, but you must also be aware that whether we like it or not, the state, church, and courts have already been injected into end of life issues.

Thanks, Ohioan! Officially launched now. May this be a productive month for Terri's family.

[BykrBayb]

Anyone who promotes the murder of an innocent woman is not promoting conservative values. Cyn is not speaking for everyone, just for conservatives. Anyone who doesn't agree that Terri has rights, is not conservative.

Here we go into December. Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving with lots to be thankful for.

I had a blessed Thanksgiving. I ate a wonderful meal, with my loving husband. I was reminded that I survived the abuse my ex-husband dealt out years ago. He didn't kill me. I have hope that Terri will one day have a Thanksgiving like the one I just had.

[Ohioan from Florida]

May this be a productive month for Terri's family.

Amen!

[cyn]

Hi, Drango -- that is a quote from floriduh voter's previous thread, so I'll refer your question to her. Thanks for checking this out.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[cyn]

I'm glad you had a good Thanksgiving; we did, too. But I'm so sorry to hear of your previous experience . . .

[cyn]

"productive" is actually a bit of an understatement.

I'm thinking, "Home for the Holidays". Why not?!

[BykrBayb]

Thanks. I wish everyone faced with what seems like a hopeless situation at the time, could know that great happiness lies ahead. I also wish that the people who keep pushing for Terri's death could visualize themselves in her situation. Some of them are so sadistic they would still want her killed, but I think most of them would have a change of heart.

[Ohioan from Florida]

I'm hoping and praying for a Christmas miracle!

[Ohioan from Florida]

I think you're right, but I also think there's a lot of people who think of Terri's life as hopeless. They do not understand the real meaning of hope, IMHO.
