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.

The Republican's answer was only a nudge better. Florida will not have a real AG next term.
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A new poll conducted by Newsweek shows a decline in the support for taxpayer funding of embryonic stem cell research. The poll also finds support for a new method of obtaining embryonic stem cells that a biotech firm falsely claims can retrieve the cells without destroying human life.

Alameda, CA (LifeNews.com) -- Just two days after it claimed to have come up with a new technique for obtaining embryonic stem cells that doesn't involve the destruction of human life, California-based Advanced Cell Technology says investors have given it commitments to raise millions of dollars in new funds.

So, does it appear Crist is going to win or lose? I hope and pray he loses!
Isn't it strange how so many "good ideas" like organ donations get corrupted by liberals in a hurry?
The polls have said from the start that Crist is a shoo-in in the primary and probably in November too. And many "Rs" will settle for him on the view that he can "win." People in FL seem to support euthanasia for "others."
Re: Jim King. His friend Judge Greer is corrupt. Fla's judicial system is broken and we should leave it up to judges who want to take away our free speech so they can break Florida's laws??? Judge Greer belongs in prison.

Greer and Crist are in the same crowd. Will Crist holdouts ever listen to the truth? I hope undecideds are listening to us.
Terri Schiavo's Civil Rights were denied by Charlie Crist and his Pinellas RINO judges and trial lawyer pals rid her from this planet.
Speaking of planet, World Net Daily came out urging Floridians to vote for Tom Gallagher!
In this case, I'd say they dug the pit before the fell into it. The pit was an earlier one of their "good ideas," namely, prohibition -- not for booze this time, but for body parts. "Well, now, really, we can't have anyone trafficking in body parts, can we? We'll pass a law against that!"
Prohibition of the sale of any useful good has two famous effects. 1) It drives up the price, and 2) it turns the business over to criminal elements. Plainly, both of those factors have been present in the corrupted market for transplant organs. The prices are sky high and the market is controlled by, well, bioethics committees, for one. If nothing else, those high prices are a permanent temptation for hospitals to cut moral corners and to loosen guidelines for chopping up patients for their organs.

UGHHHHH -What do you suppose they mean by "competent Neurologist"?
Active member of the Euthanasia movement? Practicing SScientologist Neurologist?-someone who would call Haleigh getting up, singing and dancing around the room " reflexes" and declare her brain dead?
Prayers for her continued recovery.

I don’t think so.
I think we have good law in Florida.
I didn’t say that. I feel that the laws we have in Florida are good. I believe that what happened in Terri Schiavo’s case is a horrific tragedy. Anytime somebody passes away it’s very sad. But I believe that some decisions in that regard should be left to God and family.

MIAMI, August 28, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Imagine a mainstream, popular, and many-time incumbent politician who is unafraid to acknowledge she is Christian and that the Christian faith is the one true faith. Meet Katherine Harris, a Harvard grad, who after being elected to the Florida State Senate was made the state's last-elected secretary of state. In 2003, Harris was sworn in as a U.S. Congressional Representative for Florida, and she is now running for election as a U.S. Senator for Florida.

The book, "The Party of Death: The Democrats, the Media, the Courts, and the Disregard for Human Life" shows the Democratic Party in a new light. And it's not a pretty picture. The author is National Review senior editor Ramesh Ponnuru, a staunch conservative, but nobody that would be mistaken with right-wing flame-throwers like Ann Coulter or Michael Savage.
Snip
Ponnuru's book also discusses Hillary Clinton's chances of becoming president in 2008, the Terri Schiavo case that exposed the hypocrisy of liberals on the euthanasia debate, why 19th century feminists opposed abortion and why the U.S. is the only industrialized nation in the world that offers no legal protection to the unborn at any stage of development.
How long can the 'party of death' survive?
