It "should" bring up a new message from your email program and post all of the addresses in automatically. It seems to work for most but some are having problems. I'm not sure if there is a problem with the code, or configuration problems on some peoples PC's.

If you can't get it to work, please go to Terrisfight and you can post each individually

Here is another take on the story.

The video clips are a farce. They contain video shots of Terri's known reactive impulses being fraudulently prompted by voice commands. As in framing the voice commands around events that will occur irregardless of what is said.

Who will pay for Terri's continued care? There never was enough money to properly rehabilitate her. The court established the cost for such treatment in Terri's case to be $9.5 million. She received a $1.3 million settlement, reduced by the jury because her own eating disorder caused her collapse and resulting brain damage.

The paltry sum of $1.3 was used wisely by the vilified husband. He sustained life in Terri long enough for the experts to realize that no miracles would be forthcoming.

Michael Schiavo decided to use the remaining money to insure a dignified remaing life and death for Terri. It was obvious that the Schindlers would fight him and that money would have to be spent on attorneys. He was right, it has taken ten years and because he did start with a cash reserve Terri has not had to suffer. He did this rather than allow her to be placed in the Medicaid pig-pens when the money ran out. Terri's parents are destitute and cannot afford to care for her.

You can't be serious. Really? I cannot imagine why an insurance company would pay that claim.

Based on my understanding it's not an insurance claim but a malpractice settlement stemming from her initial treatment.

Terri's parents want to pay for care of her. A mother on the forum that has a son who is tube fed says it costs very little to maintain.

Video clips a farce? You aren't going to get much support on that idea here. I think they prove without a doubt she's not a vegetable.

I heard her father on Hanity accuse the husband of trying to kill her. No real evidence though. I don't see how they can legally stop feeding her,it's not artificial breathing. She is going to die because because they won't feed her. Anyone will die if you don't feed them. If I don't feed my cat, I'll get charged with animal abuse.

It's not like we didn't see this coming, is it? I figured it would be called "Terri's Law." It doesn't make me feel any better. Knowing that she has to die in order for "things to change."

I'd like to know why Michael can't be held in contempt of court, if it is accurate that he was supposed to use $750,000 of the $1 million lawsuit they won towards her rehabilitation and therapy. I keep hearing he "promised the jury" he would do so, and as soon as he won the suit, he signed a DNR.

Because the 'court' (judge Greer) is who authorized the raiding of Terri's funds in order to pay Greer's business ssociate, George Felos. Judge Greer preformed this slight of hand in a secret ruling, however the money paid out is a matter of public record even though the corrupt judge sealed the hearing in which he opened Terri's trust to the raiding and plundering.

Most likley because he was trying to murder her when she has her "mysterious collapse". Dead people can not talk.

The bill is being pushed back because of language. We need to keep the pressure on. Here are the contact details for Florida's Senate. Please circulate:

I agree.

This woman responds to visitors. She is alive and her brain is not dead.

Thankfully Jeb saved her life today.

I hope they convict her husband some day.

I don't understand why her husband doesn't divorce her and leave her and her family alone.

Probably because both of them were adults when they married, and he assumed all that "cleaving" language of his marriage ceremony actually fostered the creation of a new family that wasn't dependent on the Schindlers to make decisions for his wife anymore.

Imagine that - a married man believing that he could make the decisions that affect his financial and personal life without his inlaws being able to run to a ridiculous legislature.
