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.

CodeBlueBlog Doc also looked at those CT scans after Terri's injury (?) and concluded that IF the dates were correct, Terri had to have suffered the brain damage in the hospital. Otherwise her brain atrophy would have shown up in a scan. I.e., enough time had passed for an injury at home to cause damage visible in a scan. If the scan was normal, then Terri's injury occurred after she was hospitalized.
That scenario doesn't make sense. Terri was in cardiac arrest and near death that night when they called 911. I can't see how that could NOT have caused the brain damage. Ergo, something must have been misreported/misdated about those two early CT scans. Maybe one was mistakenly recorded twice, who knows?
Back to Theory A -- domestic violence.
Good lord. Mother Sheehan is dancing on her son's grave and dishonoring the very country he died for. Terri was murdered in a slow painful death by her husband and a good number of Florida politicos. Big, huge difference.
I can't argue with that, I am just going by the hospital notes.
...what these types of people do in all discussions -- things like (but not limited to): take the opportunity to push their beliefs on the audience (even if it is off-topic); distract and evade when they can't defend their position; talk down to everyone as though they are of superior intelligence and everyone else is of less; and, call people names and then get upset when someone calls them one."
And, call others liars instead of the polite "mistaken." And, say others won't look at facts when their own "facts" are hand-me-down lines from George Felos. And, make inflamatory remarks in hopes of disrupting the forum. And, paraphrase others' comments to make straw dog attacks. And, stay ever hostile and humorless instead of joining in the normal friendly chatter of the forum. And -- so on.
Sure. There's a mistake here somewhere and I don't see how it can be resolved from records. We just have to use our sense.
Yeah, the evidence shows his attempts to kill her were ongoing. Even after he succeeded, he continued to assassinate her character. He has a nasty obsession with killing.
This article seems to be an attempt to hang the stigma of euthanasia on all hospice care, while at the same time advertise euthanasia as the only logical solution to doctors attempting to treat their patients.
Here is how one set of responses names her in the very first knee jerk.
WE ARE REPUBLICANS BECAUSE
We believe that the proper function of government is to do for the people those things that have to be done but cannot be done, or cannot be done as well, by individuals, and that the most effective government is government closest to the people.
Dem: This is something we can all agree on. You don’t have to be a Republican to believe that the Federal Government has no business butting into local issues, like they did in the Terri Schiavo case, for instance. However, talk is cheap…

Meanwhile I can't even look at the discussion until I get the garbage out :-) Later...

DOTTIE READER is so genuine that District 51 should choose her instead of Bruce Cotton whose boss was Leslie Waters. Cotton would be the status quo and Dottie Reader assured me that she was pro-life, she was opposed 100% to doc assisted suicide and she supports the military.
ATTENTION PINELLAS COUNTY, DISTRICT 51 (Leslie Waters termed out):
DOTTIE READER, "Mother, Neighbor, Leader* Friend" (*former mayor of Seminole). She's Pro-Life and I had a chat with her. What a talented, sincere candidate.

DOTTIE READER, DISTRICT 51 HAS MY VOTE
Please visit her web page. She has a salute to the military and I felt like I was talking to one of my aunts. That's the kind of people we need in Tallahassee.
Real ones, not the status quo.
Call Dottie and see how fabulous she is: 727-410-0510. She's going door to door so leave a message.
Please take the far left out with you.;)
The court has rejected Burke's attempt to ensure that he will not be dehydrated or starved to death in the final stages of his ultimately fatal illness. This in spite of the growing number of instances of death by dehydration in Britain and abroad – most notably the dehydration death of Terri Schindler-Schiavo in 2005 – and the growth in influence in Britain of the euthanasia movement.

Gilbert was killed in a failed late-term abortion in January 2005 at the abortion facility of George Tiller, one of the few abortion practitioners in the country to still do abortions in the very late stages of pregnancy.
After Gilbert's death, a complaint was filed with the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts, which failed to prosecute Tiller saying he had followed all Kansas laws during the abortion.

I tried but they don't fit in the can. They themselves have oversized cans. They don't fit anywhere. I despair.
Austin, TX (LifeNews.com) -- Texas pro-life advocates and disability rights activists fought a state futile care law at the state legislature on Wednesday. They hope lawmakers will remove or revise a law that allows medical facilities to tell the family of a patient that they have 10 days to find another medical center willing to treat the patient because their doctors think the case is hopeless.

The horrifying part is that he probably did comply with Kansas laws.
We try to stuff ours into clear see through bags, usually two trolls to a bag, but only one hillary or soros to a double strength, and tie them securely to keep in the smell and fumes and drop them at the hazardous waste section.
We put worn out teddys and soggy oldsmobiles in the hazardous waist landfill.
