I chose to put this on Breaking News because it just came on as Breaking NEWS on her website. PLEASE ,PLEASE go to the website http://www.terrisfight.org and read the letters that have just been sent to Jeb Bush in regards to the Terri Schiavo case. JEB BUSH can LEGALLY STOP THIS. CALL his office, CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES, CALL and email the media.THE CLOCK is ticking to save her life.
Sorry if this post isn't " polished" and " refined" but I am not a seasoned " poster" here on FR.
"To me, being chained to a hospital bed at the edge of life having to be fed through a tube for 13 years would be hell, and is a fate I would not wish upon my worst enemy"
If she'd had the rehab she was supposed to get, she wouldn't be chained to a bed and more than likely would not need the feeding tube either.
"Give Me your Poor, tired, hungry and Disabled" that's all.
Well we are on the road and be praying fervently for Teri as we travel.
Check in tonight when we get back.
Keep in mind that I was simply talking about my personal opinion and I was replying on what i've seen on t.v. and like I said if I was wrong I wanted to know. But until now I haven't seen anything to make me think differently, I surely don't wish for disabled,low IQ or anyone that is just different killed for no reason. I didn't say that at all, I sincerely thought this woman was a stone cold vegtable.
That's just my opinion and if that's you, you truly are an optimist and I salute you for it. But I don't think that I would have the same drive and will to live. I don't mean any offense, it's just the way i'm put together.
It's not a question of conservatives opposing expansive government.
It is expansive government in FL that is killing an innocent disabled person!
The story of Esther is very applicable here, but I don't think our "leaders" are listening to a cry for justice.
I just signed up as I did a search for Terri and this website/posts came up. I am SO upset about this. I have been calling, faxing, praying, crying. This is beyond the pale. It is like Nazi Germany, for crying out loud. Why hasn't Jeb stopped this yet? He has been told by his "legal team" that he not only has the authority, but is obligated to save her. Why is he waiting?!? I think I am also going to send flowers to her at the hospice today as well. If anyone else wants to do same, the address is:
Terri Schiavo
c/o Woodside Hospice
6774 102nd Avenue N.
Pinellas Park, Fla. 34664
"It's amazing how anyone that disagrees with you people is automatically a troll. Do you all think with one mind? "
Funny you would think that an insult. It is actually flattering to me to be considered as great as many of the people on the Terri threads are. Do you think with no heart?
I have seen the video, and I have perused that web site several times. And, I have seen NOTHING from a medical or legal standpoint that would sway me to overturn Judge Greer's decision in this matter.

http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm AN EMAIL SENT, REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION BY HOMELAND SECURITY
DEPARTMENT:
Subject: Homeland Security needed in Florida - Thousands of citizens
at risk
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON IN FLORIDA???????
The Homeland Security Dept should hold an immediate investigation
into the mirky circumstances surrounding the Forced Euthanasia of a
39 year old Pinellas County woman.
Documented sources show that Terri Schiavo suffered a collapse at the
age of 26 under mysterious circumstances.
Since that time, her spouse (of 3 years at that time) sued and won a
malpractice award resulting in a 300K award to him for loss of
consortium, and 750K to Terri Schiavo for her rehabiliation.
Several questions of legality abound here:
1) Why has none of Terri's 750 K been spent on efforts to
rehabilitate her?
2) Why has Terri's spouse ordered that Terri not be given normal
rehabilatation that would be afforded most persons in her situation?
3) Why is Michael Schiavo still allowed to be Terri's legal guardian
even though he has a domestic partner and 2 children by said partner?
Terri briefly did have the service of Richard L. Pearse, Esq.,
appointed by the court in 1998.,br> Attorney Pearse was dismissed
from the case by the state court on motion by George J. Felos, Esq.,
the non-party co-conspirator herein, after the former filed a report
concluding that Michael Schiavo had an irreconcilable conflict of
interest due to Schiavo's relationship with another woman, his
financial stake in Terri's death, and the fact that he tried to let
Terri die of a urinary tract infection in 1993.
4) Why has Terri been kept in a Hospice for since March or April
2000, when Hospice' is meant for terminally ill patients, not
disabled persons who can be rehabilatated.
5) Why is medicaid paying for Terri, someone who is not certified
Terminally Ill to be kept in a hospice? When her husband drives a
recent model Mercedes, owns a home with a pool, has an insurance
corporation, and earns good income?
7) Why isn't Michael Schiavo paying the hospice bill if he is Terri's
husband? He has income and assets, or is he hiding his assets with
his in-active insurance company that has its office at his residence?
6) Shouldn't Michael Schiavo return the malpractice funds that were
to be used for Terri's rehabiliation? Surely the mal-practice award
was not intended to be used as a vehicle to have Terri's life ended.
7) Why isn't the media allowed to see Terri in her room at the
Hospice?
8) Why is the Suncoast Hospice allowed to even be open, when it has 3
lawsuits against it for various mis appropriations of patients funds
and donations, and for sexual harassment? Isn't it mis appropriating
the governments funds now, by billing medicaid for a non-terminal
patient?
9) Why is Suncoast Hospice allowed to knowingly employ convicted
embezzlers in its financial department? One said embezzler had just
been released from prison.
10) Why is Judge Greer allowed to preside over this case when it is
clear that he has conflicts of interest, such as having served on the
board of hospice (with big salary), as has Michael Schiavo's
attorney, Felos? (Felos served as Chairman of Hospice Board). It
would seem to me that those very ties to a board overseeing a Hospice
that is rife with improprieties would be a red flag.
11) Why has Judge Greer banned Terri's parents from videotaping her,
tape recording her, and photographing her? Is this so that he can
preserve the false image that Terri is in a coma or in a vegetative
state???
This is important evidence that Terri is not in a persistent
vegetative state and is responsive to her family and friends. This
includes evidence that Terri can get out a few words, and that she
WANTS TO LIVE! video.
Since when was a judge supposed to suppress the truth?
12) Why is Michael Schiavo's word taken that Terri would not want to
be kept alive with artificial means, when her own family and friends
never heard her to say such things. Since when was heresay enough to
take the place of a living will?
Especially since Michael Schiavo has contradicted himself greatly by
suing for rehabilitative funds for Terri and then not using them to
do so? His veracity is dubvious at best.
13) Why isn't Michael Schiavo being investigated for being the
possible cause of Terri's collapse, since medical records (later
discovered) have come to light that Terri's initial injuries suggest
strangulation? R/E bone scan.
14) Why isn't Terri given the option of refusing rehabiliation, and
the option to refuse food herself?
15) Why has Michael Schiavo ordered an immediate cremation of Terri
Schiavo's body once she dies?
16) Why doesnt the State prevent that and order an immediate autopsy
of Terri's body, or better yet, prevent her death so as to not need
one?
17) Does the state of Florida plan to start putting disabled people
into Hospice facilities now? Then to kill them?
18) When did the state of Florida sink so low in its compassion for
the disabled?
19) Why is the state of Florida, and ultimately the United States of
America allowing itself to sink so low that other sovereign countries
feel compelled to offer asylum to one of our disabled?
And to offer treatment at no cost?
Where is our decency, our humanity, our sense of shame?
Why does our country give up its greatness so cheaply?????
20) At what cost, moral and ethical, does the state of Florida, and
the country of the United States allow the forced euthanasia of a
disabled person? Of any person. How far have we sunk as a nation???
PERHAPS A BOYCOTT OF FLORIDA IS THE BEST THING FOR ANYONE WHO IS
CONSIDERING BECOMING DISABLED ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE A BAD MARRIAGE.
Please kindly respond.
The fundamental policy issue at stake is whether or not the state can
deprive a person with a disability of life because their medical need
has become too expensive or some members of the family are no longer
willing to care. The state stands on a slippery slope. Without
caution, the slope leads to a precipice and the precipice leads to
death for Terri Schiavo and all like her.

Bush:
The world is waiting to see what you do to save your state from being
a part of his killing of a viable woman.
If you would intervene on Terri Schiavo's behalf, I would be able to
believe that you are a decent man, worthy of being in public office.
You would gain my support in your future endeavors
Hundreds of thousands of folks would be grateful to you.
Do something, anything, call upon your brother, the President of the
most powerful country in the world, and therefore the most POWERFUL
person in the world, and ask him to intervene.
What must the world think of the United States, to commit an obvious
mis-carriage of the law?
This must cast even further shadow over the legitimacy of the
government in the United States.
This is akin to civil court approved murder.
NOW THE ENTIRE WORLD HAS SEEN ON TV THAT TERRI SCHIAVO IS NOT A DUMB
BLIND UNFEELING VEGETABLE.
NOW THEY CAN SEE THE EVIL THAT HAS OVERTAKEN THE JUDICIARY SYSTEM IN
FLORIDA.
PLEASE ASK PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH TO HAVE HIS LEGAL TEAM AND HOMELAND
SECURITY DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATE MICHAEL SCHIAVO FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER,
MEDICAID FRAUD, TAX EVASION, AND CONSPIRACY.
PLEASE HAVE JUDGE GREER REMOVED FROM THIS CASE, BECAUSE FOR ONE - HE
IS LEGALLY BLIND AND COULD NOT VIEW THE EVIDENCE, AND TWO, HE IS NOT
A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL JUDGE (CONNECTIONS TO ATTY FELOS VIA SERVING ON
BOARD OF HOSPICE TOGETHER)
