TERRI SCHINDLER SCHIAVO FEBRUARY DAILY THREAD 2005: TERRI IS OUR VALENTINE!
Free Republic and various sources | December 30, 2004, January 31, 2005 | Florida Voter

Posted on 01/31/2005 9:14:49 PM PST by TAdams8591

*Michael, HAVE A HEART !!!!!For Valentines Day give Terri back to her MOM & DAD, The Schindlers!!!!!!!!*

The Terri Schindler Schiavo Daily Threads are created month to month as we watch local and national news regarding Terri and her family.

Since Terri's supporters are in every time zone, you may see something FIRST. Please share news with us that you don't see here already. Now, why would you want to do that? Terri's Daily Thread for September/October of 2004 was viewed over 15,000 times. Terri's November Daily Thread was viewed over 6,000 times. December's thread is over 3,000 views. January 2005 Daily Thread was a RECORD HIGH!!!!!!! 15, 103 VIEWS!!!!!!

More and more good folks are finding out about Terri and that judicial tyranny would take her life, but for lots and lots of prayer and non-stop lobbying of relatives, friends, clergy, our leaders, the media, a passerby, a cashier - ANYONE who you feel comfortable chatting with.

Folks always want to know how can this be in America or on earth for that matter? Unfortunately, this is really happening to an innocent woman who just celebrated her 41st birthday. She's not the only one but she's the one with devoted parents and siblings who knows what's in Terri's heart. Terri has a strong will to live. That's apparent. It's been 14 years.

Besides, feeding tubes have been around practically since the Civil War. They are not high tech devices. Terri is "not hooked up to machines". Her feeding tube is the diameter of a piece of spaghetti.

Talkin' about Terri is the best way to lobby for her. It is a salespitch to save her life and subsequently, many lives. If you've never sold anything in your life, START NOW. START WITH TERRI.

See Terri's flash movies if you need more information. You can see for yourself that's she's interactive and follows the doctor's instructions.

NOTE: Terri's December Dailies are noted as a source above. There are lots of important links at the very top of that thread. If you missed Terri's Celebration of Life, you can click on it from there.

AGAIN WE HAVE A NEW RECORD: 15,103 views on the tote board for the Terri Schindler Schiavo January Daily Thread!

The most significant event in Terri's case in January, was the Supreme's Courts refusal to hear Governor Jeb Bush's appeal, after the Florida State Legislature struck down Terri's Law. This once again places Terri's life in extreme jeopardy, though there are other issues regarding her case before the court.

It happened in October of 2003. Google Monsignor Malanowski advised by law enforcement not to put wafer to Terri's lips. (threat of arrest). Hospice offered to have one of their FAKE-SECULAR NEW AGE MINISTERS do the HC for him - it's not the same when it's fake.

Was there any legal action taken regarding this? First it is a violation of the first amendment, second, there are many cases of people surviving only on communion. It was a very popular practice in the Middle Ages. So, if they can be allowed to give her communion, she is less likely to starve and if they refuse her communion, it becomes a legal issue as to her freedom of religion.

Terri phone number/e-mail/sign petition bump!

The Courts have ruled that Terri's feeding tube be removed for the THIRD time.

For any "newbees" to this thread, here are the numbers to call. Ask them to save Terri Schiavo by NOT allowing her to starve to death.

If you don't have time to call all of the numbers, please at least call one number (or e-mail). Calling is better than sending an e-mail, but please at least do something.

jeb.bush@myflorida.com
Gov. Jeb Bush 850-488-4441

Governor's Legislative Affairs Office: 1-850-488-5000

FL Legislature Senate President Tom Lee: 1-850-487-5229

FL Legislature Speaker for the House Allen Bense: 1-850-488-1450 - PLEASE NOTE: When I called Speaker Bense, the receptionist carefully took down my comments and even asked me to spell. When you call this number, give them your best comment.

Attorney General Charlie Crist:
PHONE 850-414-3300
FAX 850-410-1630
ag@oag.state.fl.us
From a post from Floriduh Voter about A.G. Charlie Crist: FLA AG Crist's staff said to a caller "Crist it the attorney for the STATE, not for individuals." Well, THEN HE BETTER QUIT HELPING THE PARAPLEGIC WHO GOT KICKED OFF A US AIRWAYS FLIGHT. Either you are working for the people or the state and the Fla AG HAS A CIVIL RIGHTS DEPT.
Sun says: It looks like A.G. Charlie Crist is playing politics by choosing which disabled person he wants to help, & which he does not. I guess he thinks that helping a paraplegic is more popular with Florida VOTERS.

ALSO, you can:
PLEASE SIGN PETITION FOR TERRI

Without 11th-hour help Terri Schindler-Schiavo will soon be
starved to death. Husband Michael Schiavo -- thanks to yet
another outrage by an activist judge -- again has a death
sentence from the Florida courts to execute this courageous woman by removing her feeding tube.

Your quick help is needed! Please go to ConservativePetitions.com to see what is at stake not only for Terri but for all Americans.

Here's the address:

This is almost funny, if it wasn't so pathetic.

I don't know if they are so out of it or if they were making a mockery of Terri's beliefs.

"Bishop Lynch has not issued a statement about Terri in a long time. I don't think he will this time. Lynch has openly expessed his disdain for Terri's family so it's not likely that he will give a statement on Terri."

.... (not saying it)

I realize again that it's tougher being Terri's family than we could EVER know.

God, help them; please protect and look after Your little ones; we are broken hearted that we cannot.

Latest entry in my blog
Why remove a feeding tube anyway

If a patient is on a ventilator and it is desired to discontinue artificial ventilation, there are reasons to physically remove the ventilator. It's bulky, useless (once its function is discontinued), and its continued presence could interfere with natural breathing.

A gastrostomic tube, however, is not a piece of external equipment to which a patient is connected. Nor does it interfere with "normal" eating. Instead, a g-tube is just a small tube that connects the stomach to the abdominal wall. A second mouth, basically. A funnel or food bag can be connected to it at feeding time, but otherwise it just sits there. Unlike a big bulky ventilator, or even an IV, a gastrosomic tube does not interfere with patient mobility nor with anything else a patient might want to do.

Even if a patient is in end-stage cancer and doesn't want to be fed, a gastrostomic tube cannot not by itself force unwanted food into the patient. If it's necessary to stop feeding a patient, a caregiver can simply decline to put any more food through the tube.

To be sure, there are sometimes good reasons to remove a g-tube:

  1. The tube becomes clogged or infected; in this case, normal protocol would be to remove the old one and install a new one.
  2. The patient regains sufficient ability to take food by mouth that there is no anticipated future need for the feeding tube and its continued presence would do naught but create a risk of future infection.
Discontinuing food and water for a terminal hydration for a terminal patient, however, is not a good reason for removing a g-tube. The tube's continued presence doesn't hurt the patient, and removing the feeding tube represents an unnecessary surgery with no therapeutic benefit.

Why, then, are feeding tubes removed from terminal or supposedly-terminal patients?

Because, to the uninitiated, "removing a feeding tube" sounds much more like letting nature take its course than does "stopping feeding the patient".

Terri's parents motions were REJECTED regarding Terri's religious freedom, rejected by J. Greer and rejected on appeal. The Pope is a nobody in the Fla courts. The Pope makes a clear distinction between natural death and euthanasia/dehydration/starvation.

Religious freedoms DENIED, DENIED, DENIED. If you would like to see some of the filings, they are at www.terrisfight.org.

KEEP IN MIND THAT TERRI HAS NEVER HAD HER OWN ATTORNEY. George Felos represents husband Michael and Atty Gibbs represents Terri's pareants. TERRI HAS NEVER HAD HER OWN ATTORNEY - ANOTHER VIOLATION OF THE LAW.

Judge Greer is acting as her guardian and judge which is also a VIOLATION. The only time a Judge can act as guardian is if they are "related to the ward". Greer is NOT related to Terri.

See why we keep fighting? We are fighting ignorance of the law by the bench.

Isn't this what President Bush's campaign team used to refer to as "rope a dope"?

And yet, as Lauren BaRecall posted in @2204, Bishop Lynch's statement said: " . . . Terri’s spiritual well being continues to be of paramount importance to Bishop Lynch. . ."

Ping to others, is there anything that can be done about this?

BLASPHEMING the Holy Spirit is an unforgivable sin.

But does George W. Greer understand this glaring truth? Greer is in the Bible, where it speaks of men in the last days thinking they are all-knowing but being most unwise.

Watch Fox Greta On the Record tonight. I hope she does the split screen as before: Terri in video smiling at her mom and very much alive and Felos calling in that she's unconscious.

I hope, I hope. I don't think Felos can tell Fox what do... he can't hypnotize people unless he looks into their eyes and sees what their soul wants. Playing god for kash.

NOTE: that statement by Bishop Lynch was released 10/21/**03**, as noted in my post #2345.

amdgmary just said in another post above that he's kept quiet since then, that he is (in effect) hateful to Terri's parents and by no means a support or help to them.

Ping for Fox Fans. Terri's parents' Attorney Gibbs ON OFF THE RECORD TONIGHT. Attorney Gibbs is another hero, he is the parents' attorney. Terri has NEVER had her own attorney which is another violation of her civil rights. My last post explains how I hope Greta does the Terri segment tonight.
