JOIN THE TERRI JELLO BRIGADE!!! -- DAY FOUR
Editorial Comment ^ | 18 October 2003 | Robert Drobot, Member, FreeRepublic
Change the way you're running this country. We're watching you, and we don't like the way you're doing business in our name.
Jeb Bush CAN STOP death of TERRI SCHIAVO !!! CALL!!!
http://www.terrisfight.org ^ | pollywog
With Republicans like Jeb, we don't need Democrats to do us in.
Outrageous, you say? How can a mere judge hold more power than the governor, you say? Reality, I say. It's been that way for a while now, while everybody was sleeping. We're no longer a Republic, we are ruled by the Philosopher-Kings of the Judiciary.

I haven't seen any good pics of the vigil but from what I am reading it seems a pretty peaceful and quiet endeavor.
I don't know why or how this came to me this mornign but I was thinking: Does anyone ahve access to a large screen TV or two. Certainly there is someone in the Pro-Life movement in Florida that has access to lend or donate a few (a manager or such of a Best Buy or Circuit City Store or whatever such thing there is back there). Place them up where the cops standing gaurd can see, where anyone in Terris room can see, where visitors to other patients can see.
And loop that video and play it over and over and over on this (or even better these TVs)
And Bullhorns so that the facts of what is happening can be known. And specific messages too- a message to Jeb how this is going to cost him votes, a message to Michaels rep, which I heard was his girlfriedns mother at some point asking if this is how she would like to see her daughter die, to the LEOs on the scene if in their hearts this is really what their oath "to protect and to serve" means. This would not have to be riotous for any reason- just noisy enough to get some attention. Just short messages repeated over and over accompanying this video to anyone to whom an appeal can be made and/or facts about this case that might make people change their minds (I know mine was when I realized there was more to it that the news was telling.)
I just can't imagine that there are so many people in Florida lacking hearts- certainly there has to be staff and/or LEOs willing to "look the other way" and let someone slip Terri a spoonful of Jello and get it videotaped- even if they have to have someone else hold down Micahel Shciavo while they do it.
Am I just being utterly ridiculous?

**Just heard on Barbara Simpson's show on KSFO 560 that a monsigneur came to give Terri communion, with family present. Terri actually ATE SOME OF THE WAFER and swallowed it! Then the husband told the priest that if he tried to give her the wine, he would be arrested.**
Catholic bump for a miracle!

Good for her. HE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OUT. Sorry, but he is just trying to make sure she dies. I'm so glad she was able to swallow Holy Communion. I had a very vivid dream about Terri last night. In my dream, she survived, I was visiting her. She was laughing and talking. Is there something wrong with me? I want to be at the vigil soo bad.

Then the husband told the priest that if he tried to give her the wine, he would be arrested. Too bad the priest didn't do so anyway. He would then have been able to insist that Terri be called as a witness, and the governor would have had the authority to keep Terri alive until his trial.

Jeb stumps for George Bush while Terri is dehydrated and starved to death
Terri still needs your help, keep up actions and contacting others
for them to contact others in media and in gov. etc. to stop this
madness. Terri has been being dehydrated and starved since 8AM Oct.
15th.
On Sunday, October 19, 2003, as the round-the-clock vigil continues
for Terri Schindler-Schiavo, protesters have arranged a
demonstration to show their dismay at Florida's Governor Jeb Bush.
Volunteers for the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation have learned
that a group of Republican demonstrators are planning to shred their
voter registration cards and officially change their party
affiliations in order to call attention to the Governor's refusal to
intervene on behalf of Terri Schindler-Schiavo.
Governor Bush has received more than 130,000 petitions to intervene
on behalf of the disabled Pinellas County woman since July of this
year. He has been instructed by 7 distinguished legal experts that,
not only does he have the authority to act, but that he also has an
obligation to take action.
Mr. Bush, during his Gubernatorial race in Florida, called himself
a "Champion of the disabled".
On other fronts, Monsignor Thaddeus Malanowski, who has been Terri's
spiritual provider for over 3 years, was told he may not administer
to her the sacrament of Holy Communion. Monsignor was informed by
police at Hospice that he would be arrested if he tried to
administer the Catholic woman the sacrament.
In a statement to the press, Michael Schiavo's attorney, George
Felos stated that the reason for this was that he didn't
want "anyone to do something that would cause Terri distress".
Demonstrators will be convening at Hospice Woodside at 10.00am on
Sunday. At that time, there will also be Sunday Worship in Terri's
name.
If you would like to attend, Hospice Woodside is located at 6770
102nd Avenue North in Pinellas Park, Florida.

Yes! And, can you imagine the outrage if they'd dare to arrest the priest for that?
There's a reason that Jesse Jackson will fly across the country at the drop of a hat to get arrested, after all.
It's a pity "our side" can't learn those lessons in "practical politics", instead of relying on plaintive pleas for reason -- to those who are not inclined to listen to "mere" reason, but do listen to "jacksonesque" politicking.

Thanks so much for these links.
This is an atrocity that cannot be allowed to stand. it represents the next evolution in the culture of death that has been spawned and fertilized by tens of millions of abortions IMHO.
We need individuals there, principally the family, who have the will, the commitment and the faith to put it all on the line like we did in Klamath. I saw the government reverse course there and return things to at least the status quo when the people there (a few hundred of us) made it clear that it was either that, or a very nasty and probably bloody fight against farmers who had supported this administration.
I believe the same would happen there.
Either way...you have to do what is right because it is right, regardless of the consequences. it is the only way to advance the right and keep evil from bearing sway. Evil is bearing sway in Florida right now.
God help and bless those folks...and God comfort and ease Terri's suffering.
To: EggsAckley
OK, this is going to sound out-there, and it's easy for me to propose this, since I'm all the way across the country from Florida, but...
What about someone, perhaps a priest, going to see Terri and giving her as much water as he can and willingly getting arrested? Even a few ounces of water would buy Terri some time, and the publicity that would arise from a priest's being arrested for giving water to a dying woman just may turn this situation around.
Freepers, what do you think?

I WILL POST THE BANNED VIDEO OF TERRI'S RESPONSES AT ONE OF MY WEB DOMAINS so it can be downloaded and distributed to the world.

In a statement to the press, Michael Schiavo's attorney, George Felos stated that the reason for this was that he didn't want "anyone to do something that would cause Terri distress". So he's admitting that she's not in a PVS? 'Cos if she is in a PVS anything that caused distress would be an improvement, right?
In the event Terri doesn't survive this, I hope his statement above can be used against him at his murder trial.

To: kancel
Am I just being utterly ridiculous? No. You're being utterly realistic, and utterly practical.
The squeaky hinge won't get the oil unless it squeaks. No matter how "squeaky" it is, if it just stands there holding a sign that says, "I'm squeaky" it won't accomplish squat.
Sad, but true.

You would think they would allow a priest in to administer last rites, so your idea has merit. All the Father has to do is bring a little more holy water than he would ordinarily need.
Of course the monsters keeping her may deny last rites in a final fit of spite, or say that it's been done previously (maybe it has, but tha doesn't change the need to administer last rites now).
To: Jeff Head
Jeff, thanks for looking, and I fully agree with your comments... I'd expand mine a little more, but am pressed for time.
Suffice it to say the Culture of Death has seen a sudden burgeoning I had not thought possible- I really thought that we, as a culture, had become better aware of the fragility and preciousness of life for every person.
Well, it's not the first time I've been fooled, and doubtless will not be the last.
