I am posting this message from Pinellas Park Florida concerning a matter of utmost urgency. At this very moment the state of Florida is committing a crime against humanity. A young woman named Terri Shiavo is being starved to death in Hospice care by order of the Florida courts. Terri suffered massive injuries several years ago which left her in severe physical condition and in need of major therapy. However, her husband has seen to it that Terri had no therapy or medical treatment, making it clear that his only wishes were for Terri to just hurry up and die. (lots of life insurance money involved) When he saw that Terri was going to fight for her life he began proceedings to have her euthanized… The mainstream media has lied about this case from word one saying that Terri is in a comma or a persistent vegetative state when she is actually very responsive to the attention and instructions given to her by others. The media has also stated that Terri is on life support which she is not….The only way Terri is assisted is by a feeding tube. Her injuries have left her unable to chew or speak because she has been denied any type of rehabilitation. Terri’s husband is strongly suspected in this case. Nurses and countless others have filed affidavits with Florida’s legal system stating that Terri’s husband is extremely abusive toward her and that he tried to kill her by giving her injections of pure insulin while she lay in the hospital. Yet, no criminal investigation has ever been carried out in this matter….why? Because Terri’s husband received nearly one million dollars to pay for Terri’s rehabilitation, and it is strongly suspected that he owns the judge who is handling this case. On Wednesday Terri’s husband won his battle to have her murdered, and her feeding tube was removed from her body…She has had no food or liquids since 2 pm wed. I came to Florida to investigate this matter. I just couldn’t believe that this could happen in America. But its all true and a helpless Terri Shiavo lies dying a horrible death while her parents and loved ones are kept from her side by armed guards. I have been standing vigil with Terri’s family for the past two days and I must say that this is the most horrifying thing I have ever witnessed. We need your help to get Terri’s story out before its too late. She only has a couple of days left. Our group has been in contact with Jeb Bush, who has the power to take executive action and stop this atrocity from occurring in his state. Jeb is obviously more worried about his political career than he is the life of one of his constituents….Don’t let Florida hide Terri’s story any longer….Go to her web site www.terrisfight.org and get the facts. You will be alarmed at what you see. Please call president bush, Governor Bush, and any other government officials you can think of, but most of all help us to get the truth out. I have watched reporters from CNN, FOX, WGN, CBS, ABC, and MSNBC interview Terri’s family. They are filming and reporting the truth but it is never getting past the cutting room floor. Please call your local papers and radio stations….We must get the truth out or this woman will be dead very soon. No one in Florida’s courts or political system will even hear Teri’s case or her family’s cries for justice. I guess its just not good politics to try and do the right thing anymore. Please help…. everything you do can make a difference…If the state of Florida can get away with murdering a helpless woman then the rest of us are fair game………PLEASE HELP. This is REAL and it’s happening right now.

Really? How so?

[mict42]

One of the first signs of America's plunge from the moral leadership role in the world was when the people let the court system determine the viability of life, when it starts and when it is to end. They have assumed the position of God. Oh, how wrong. We must pray and work for a change back to the way it has been since 1776. Our founding fathers would be very disappointed that we have not guarded the moral backbone of our government. God bless Terri. She is one lamb on the alter of Liberalism.

WE ALL KNOW about this. Do a search and see!

Also, how about details (names, links, meeting times, lawyers, etc.) per your claim "Our group has been in contact with Jeb Bush".

Look at all these threads:

It's the judge, not Jeb, that has control of this situation. Jeb is on our side. The judge, (most likely a liberal - appointed by a liberal) is the problem. Please address this issue to the person with the power to change it -- the judge.

Reading your article I was moved to comment. I live here in Holiday, fl. which is the first town you come to as you leave Pinnellas county heading north on US 19 or alt. 19. I have been following this story on the news and in the papers and have seen all the footage of terry that has been shown on local TV.

I am not one who is particularly comfortable with the idea of euthanasia or removing her feeding tube {as reguards this case}. I have to say though that all the footage of terry that I have seen shows a body that while capable of being propped up in a sitting position or rolling it's eyes around aimlessly while making mindless noises, it is my considered non-medical opinion that there is no one home and terry has long since vacated the premises.

This case is tragic and sad for all concerned but speaking as a husband who loves his wife dearly, I would not want to see my wife's body kept alive for 13 years in such a state. I sympathize with the parents though who cling to the hope that their daughter will one day wake up and say "Hi Mom and Dad, how tricks?", but I don't believe that day will ever come.

Terry's gone to a better place and I can't imagine her or anyone knowingly and conciously wishing to spend years and perhaps decades trapped in a non responsive, vegetating shell. Unable to communicate with the outside world.

As I said before, this case is painful for all concerned but prolonging this pain indefinately is the suest way of making this heartbreaking and tragic situation worse.

Several threads running about Terri have been started by people who joined within the last few months. Most of these threads have as much to do with bashing Jeb Bush as with saving Terri. Anyone else see this as odd?

[Hitlerys uterus]

"No one in Florida’s courts or political system will even hear Teri’s case or her family’s cries for justice."

This case has in fact been litigated for 6 years or more in a number of courts and before several judges.

[JustPiper]

Please know everyone here has been doing all they can with their dedicated activism in trying to help Terri! It's like all the calls, writing just doesn't matter and we are all perplexed on why her husband keeps getting away with this?

Teri has also been denied her religious rights. Last rights were prevented from happening....see WorldNewsDaily.com.

No, he does not.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Once and for all, people

Jeb Bush has

NO AUTHORITY

in this matter.

So drop his name. Unless of course the only reason you mention his name in this is so you can trash him.

Please explain what legal authority Gov. Bush possesses to take charge of this case.

As has been cited on other threads, Governor Bush has expressed a desire to intervein, but lacks the legal means to do so.

Now if you know of a legal avenue that the Governor or anyone else for that matter can take to step in, please let us know.

This is an atrocity, and none would dare say otherwise. But groundless accusations and attacks on the Governor serve no one.

[proud American in Canada]

welcome to FR.

People here are very well aware of the case, as I'm sure you knew before you signed up.

"Terri shiavo is being murdered before my eyes!!!!!!!"

And just how did YOU a nonfamily member get to visit Terri?

[harpo11]

I do not understand how and why in America a woman's life and right to life is held in the hands of her husband. How atrocious and appalling to think that wives are still viewed as chattel and slaves, held in bondage by marriage vows. That's not marriage. That is not the vow "...to have and to hold, in sickness and in health."

This is as bad as the Taliban and I thought President Bush liberated Afghanistan and Iraq from depostic rule, whereas in his own country an innocent woman is condemned to die by her husband and a black robed judge willing to sanction her murder. Her only crime: brain damage.

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.

Legal Specialists Assure the Governor that he can take action.
