On Monday, Oct 13, at noon, family and friends of Terri Schindler-Schiavo will begin a round-the-clock vigil on at Woodside Hospice located at 6774 102nd Ave N, Pinellas Park (66th St N & 102nd Ave).
Terri is scheduled to have her feeding tube removed on Wednesday, Oct 15, at 2:00 pm. A policeman will be posted at Terri's door at the hospice in order to keep the parents out. Michael Schiavo, the husband, has ordered that the does not want family and friends near Terri.
Please join us at Woodside Hospice anytime - day or night - calling on Governor Jeb Bush to use his executive power to save Terri's life. Your presence will be welcomed for any length of time.
Please contact Gov. Jeb Bush and ask him to save Terri's life. He has the power to do so. Gov. Bush's e-mail is Jeb.Bush@MyFlorida.com and fl_governor@eog.state.fl.us. His phone number is 850-488-7146.
Randall Terry would like as many people as possible to call or send an e-mail to Gov. Bush. If you do call or send a message, please thank him for acting as "amicus curiae" (friend of the court) on behalf of Terri.
Terri is disabled, but she is not in a coma or in a persistant vegetative state. She is fully aware of her surroundings and responds to people around her. She laughs and smiles when her parents visit her. Last night, her parents told me that she says "yes", "no", "hello." This may not sound like much, but it shows that Terri is not in a coma as her husband claims. Terri also told her parents that she does not want to be starved to death.
Randall Terry of Operation Rescue will hold a press conference at noon on Monday, Oct 13th. He will also have a press conference on Tueday at noon and Wednesday at 2:00 pm. If you live in the Tampa Bay area, please join us for the vigil.
It is inconceivable that a judge has ordered the death of an innocent woman. We need to do everything in our power to help Terri.
Thank you for your support!
I thought they were soft on Felos too. But , I am greatful to them for giving attention to this, since no one else is.
If I would have been talking to Felo's , when he said "there is very little of Terri's money left" my response would have been: "Oh, and why is that you S.O.B-Wasn't the money supposed to be used for therapy for Terri? and , by the way, -How exactly , are your legal fee's being paid?"
But I think Sean did well with the simple approach of "why can't the husband let it go- Out of respect for the parents, decency" exc... and they did show the dad saying husband can have whatever he wants in money, so , why not let her go to her own parents house and get on with his life? Why does he insist on having her killed? That says it all.
Another sick thing that didn't get out, is that a cop will be at Terri's door because the husband does not want Terri's family or friends around her, while she dies. Who TF is he to order this? Even a child killer can have family present at his execution and would not be executed by forced starvation/dehydration either- Cruel and Unusual punishment. This whole thing makes me want to vomit.
Here's my epistle.
Judge Greer,
I am sorry I cannot use the word honorable in front of your name. Any judge, any man, that would allow a woman to die on the word of her husband and friends when that same woman is LOVED and WANTED and CHERISHED by her parents is beyond belief, certainly without honor.
If our rule of law allows a woman to die on heresay, he said she said, or on the words of once youthful friends, or if our rule of law has no heart, no compassion and such a great deal of revenge (the husband NOT allowing her parents, the ones who LOVE HER, to visit with their beloved daugther), then I no longer understand my nation, or at the very least, our court system.
What you are doing is so heartless, so wrong, so incredibly cold that I cannot stand it...I watched the videos of Terri on national TV last night and wept.
You are a very bad man. You cannot hide behind the law on this one, because it is a matter of the heart, of the soul and of right and wrong.
When you destroy the spirit of the law, as you have, you not only destroy a life, Terri's, forever, but you destroy the hearts of her parents, who WANT her (they have not gone on to be with someone else, as her husband has....)
Your name will be remembered by me forever. When I remember it-or am reminded of it...I will not think of a man who upheld the law, I will think of a man who subverted the spirit of our rule of law, and killed a woman in a heartless manner, to appease a husband without love for his suffering wife.
When I saw Terri's face light upon her mother's touch-I did not see a reflexive action, I saw hope in that smile. And when I read the nurses report that Terri becomes agitated when her so called husband is in the room....I ached.
You hold the keys, but the problem is, your heart and mind are harder and colder than the very keys you control.
May your daughter, if you have one, never experience with her husband what Terri did with hers, may you never be in the fight of your life to keep hope alive for your beloved daughter, and I hope you are busy planning what you are going to say before God someday, because it will come, Mr. Greer, and you will not be able to hide behind a false law then.
Sincerely,
< full name and address here >
Felos undoubtedly makes demands of networks on what & what will not be mentioned. I noticed that he didn't say that Terri "is terminal" tonight. And his appearance was disheveled.
Hang in. Tomorrow is another day. :)
