>>I don't know anything about Diane Coleman, is she a good speaker? I hope she runs rings around Felos and nukes his double-speak with piercing clarity!

ummm, sorry, but I don't think so. I caught a portion of a 3-way debate with her on Abrams Report this week.

It was Coleman (FOR Terri, and FOR the disabled)
vs.
Abrams and that viscious Weintraub woman (arguing AGAINST Terri)

Coleman HAD a good message but wasn't forceful or a great orator like Alan Keyes. Most casual observers tuning in for the first time would barely have noticed what Coleman said due to the forceful slamming by the MSNBC tag team pair.

I've given up on Dan Abrams. He's a jerk and has made up his mind that Terri has to die as soon as possible. Abrams defends MS every other sentence.

Coleman might do better on the radio, with Felos since Felos holds his temper better than Weintraub, and from what I've seen Felos does let his opposition talk. Hopefully the radio moderator will also assure equal time and fairness. Maybe Coleman's appearance on the Abrams show will hopefully make her more polished on the subject too.

God, wouldn't it be great to enlist Alan Keyes to our cause???

oooooh, I just checked and he 'might' already BE on board, or nearly on board Terri's team...

Diane Coleman participated in a press conference in front of Hospice. THE LOCAL MEDIA LEFT HER ON THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR. I was aghast. She'll do a good job tomorrow. She represents the disabled who can't do public speaking and who were horrified by Terri's Court Order.

Dan Abrams' father, Floyd Abrams, is a big liberal, but I cannot think of his organization.

"that viscious Weintraub woman"

That woman needs to go back to school and retake "Being Human-101." I think she failed it the first time around.

"God, wouldn't it be great to enlist Alan Keyes to our cause???"

My dream choice would still be Ann Coulter. She'd have Felos' b**ls in her purse. I'd even be happy just to see her do a little reading up on the merchant of death and his delusional musings then do a column, but I would especially like to see her go head to head with him on TV. She'd send him crying home to Mama.

I assume you have, but in case not, have you seen this article?

Federal Judge Dismisses Parents' Lawsuit in Terri Schiavo Case

October 2003

...the hospice workers responsible for removing the tube may have to choose between violating Judge Greer's order or Florida law. Under Title 46, Chapter 825, Section 102 (3)(a) of the Florida Criminal Statutes, the crime of "neglect of an elderly person or disabled adult" occurs as the result of:

"A caregiver's failure or omission to provide an elderly person or disabled adult with the care, supervision and services necessary to maintain the elderly person's or disabled adult's physical and mental health, including, but not limited to, food, nutrition, clothing, shelter, supervision, medicine and medical services that a prudent person would consider essential for the well-being of the elderly person or disabled adult."
