"The proble is that the medical community is increasingly blurring the line between "terminally ill" and "life impaired".

What angers me so is the media's complicity in perpetrating the lie. Also, in listening to the discussion on the floor of the Florida House the other night, especially to those who opposed Terri's Bill, I couldn't help but wonder if some of those folks knew what was happening and had an agenda, or if they really were ignorant of the facts of the case and that they too were relying on the mainstream media for information. If that is the case, then the media is wielding even more power than we believed and needs to be neutralized. This case has proven that it can be done, but look at the whale of an effort it took on the part of how many people!

Hurrah, FV! Thank you. You did good.

Couldn't find the contact info for Frank Latvala.


These leaders went to bat for Terri. Please thank them in your spare time: Jim Sebesta, Pinellas County;Frank Latvala, Pinellas County, Rep. Lee (district unknown) and Daniel Webster (district unknown) AND Johnny Byrd (who I called late afternoon yesterday. They were going to reconvene the House this a.m. and I pretty much told his staffer that it would be too late then. Then, 15 minutes later, we get a report that Jim King is doing a press conference that he's no longer against Terri's law and Johnny Byrd gives a presser repeating what I told his staffer word for word "she might not make it another night. She's dying hour by hour." They FINALLY GOT IT and went back to work.

I was not minding my own business all over the place. lol

"What trust fund? There's only $50K left, so Michael claims."

Yes, but then there is life insurance, and being an insurance man (at least I believe I read that) who knows the kind of money he may stand to inherit there. Schiavo needs to be investigated as does the REAL interest of Greer in Felos in this case. I think there is more here than meets the eye.

Subject: [helpterri] I See There Is Much Concern
From: "Lisa" TERRISHOPE@AOL.COM

about Michael working at the same hospital where Terri was
transported and rightly so I might add. However... Terri is at
Morton Plant and Michael doesn't work there, he is a resp. therapist
at Mease Hospital in Clearwater. The address Pam found earlier
is "his Hone" addy. I think I will let the Mease Hospital
administrator know today that I won't (nor will anyone in my family)
be making any trips to their ER or for any other reason and WHY.
(727) 725-6111 This my opinion and I AM intitled to it.

How could I allow someone like Micheal Schaivo to ever touch me or my
love ones, when I know he wanted his wife put to death BY STARVATION
and DEHYDRATION? Not happening and I WILL continue to VOICE my
opinion! And so you all know, "Terri is under protection." While
she he is still her legal guardain, he won't be by today. The COURTS
are appointing her one. Not her Michael and not her family.

NOW... Teri will have the IV in to rehydrate her for at least 24
hours, then the Dr will reinsert (surgically) her feeding tube,
unless something major takes place from now until then. She went a
total of "155 hours without any food or water and she is in the best
possible place she could be for right now.

This is not over, but it is a Miracle, Terri is a Miracle!!! And
EACH and EVERYONE of you should really feel real good inside your
hearts tonight/today. Because you were her voice and YOU SPOKE LOUD
and CLEAR! You've all saved Terri's life... read any thing you want
too... everything will tell you, that WE the PEOPLE spoke up in
emails, faxes and phone calls from all over the world and WE WERE
HEARD! We were united and we fought hard for something we really
believed in "Terri's Life!!"

I praise her Family, her Mother, father, Brother and Sister and her
Husband to be, they NEVER gave up on Terri. They are the strongest
people I have ever met in my life! GOD BLESS THEM!! And most of
all, I praise Our Heavenly Father, because I was losing a little
faith and I should have known better. God NEVER makes Mistakes, "We
do" but God never does.

I need some sleep, I was close (TOSSED) down on AOL tonight, but did
get that straightened out, thank God! I'll be up in Clearwater at
the crack of dawn and back here by noon 1 and then some special
things to do and hopefully share with all of you. (if time allows,
might have to wait one day) And Ron...if your reading this...We
already MISS YOUR FACE. :)

Good night Terri's Angel's and May God bless all of you. HUG THOSE
YOU LOVE!! Lisa

Had to post this before I went to bed... This is what you all need to
send the MEDIA... because this is the truth and the FACTS, not what
the press or Felo's or Michael states, but this...........

Public Statement of the Schindler Family in Response to the Statement
of Michael Schiavo
Schindler Family

(Note: The following statement was issued in response to a brief
written statement issued by Michael Schiavo to the press Monday. The
text of Mr. Schiavo's statement is contained within the CNSNews.com
story from which you accessed this document.)

"We, the Schindler family, wish to respond to the statement of
Michael Schiavo published by the media on October 20, 2003. Mr.
Schiavo's statement is an exercise in self-justification that
completely rewrites the true history of his efforts to have our Terri
put to death by starvation and dehydration.

"Here are the facts that Mr. Schiavo has hidden in his statement:

"Terri, on Mr. Schiavo's orders, has had no therapy of any kind since
the Fall of 1991.
"At a medical malpractice trial in November 1992, Mr. Schiavo swore
to the jury that he would devote any jury award to Terri's care and
rehabilitation and he promised under oath that he would take care of
Terri for the rest of his life.
"After securing an award of over $700,000 for Terri's care, Mr.
Schiavo did an about-face, and has spent the last 10 years in a
determined campaign to cause Terri's death.
"This campaign began within a few months of the malpractice award,
when, in mid-1993, Mr. Schiavo had a 'do not resuscitate' order
placed in Terri's medical chart.
In June of 1993 Mr. Schiavo refused to allow treatment of an
infection Terri had developed, later admitting under oath that he
expected the infection to progress to a fatal sepsis that would kill
Terri.
"In 1995, contrary to his promises to the jury that he would honor
his marriage vows, Mr. Schiavo, who still pretends to be
Terri's 'loving' and 'grieving' husband, began living with another
woman, by whom he has conceived two children out-of-wedlock. He calls
this woman his fianc\'e9e, even while his wife Terri lays starving
and dehydrating to death in hospice for the terminally ill---to which
he consigned her three years ago so that she would receive no therapy.
"It was not until 1998, when Mr. Schiavo hired Mr. Felos, that Mr.
Schiavo suddenly 'remembered' that Terri had made some vague remarks
about not wanting to be sustained on anything 'artificial' if she
became incapacitated.
"When he promised the malpractice jury back in 1993 that he would
take care of Terri for the rest of his life, Mr. Schiavo said nothing
to the jury about Terri not wanting to be sustained on
anything 'artificial.'
"Mr. Schiavo's crocodile tears and his statement that 'I struggle
with' the Court's order to starve and dehydrate Terri defy belief.
That order is the end result of Mr. Schiavo's utter determination to
see Terri dead so that he can marry his 'fianc\'e9e.'
"Even though he has no Court order authorizing his actions, Mr.
Schiavo has not only removed the feeding tube that has sustained our
Terri for 13 years, but has also ordered that no attempt be made to
feed Terri by mouth, even if she could be trained to take sustenance
orally.
"On Saturday, October 18, 2003, one of Mr. Schiavo's team of lawyers
refused to allow our Terri to receive her final Holy Communion. This
lawyer would not even allow Msgr. Malanowski to place a miniscule
piece of the Host on her tongue. Perhaps Michael fears that if Terri
can swallow a piece of the Host, the whole world will know he is
starving a helpless woman who can take sustenance by mouth.
"Mr. Schiavo has spent the great bulk of Terri's malpractice award on
legal fees for Mr. Felos, in an effort to have Terri killed. He spent
nothing on Terri's therapy and rehabilitation---contrary to the
promises he made to the jury, under oath, more than ten years ago.

"We cannot allow Mr. Schiavo's lies to go unanswered. We pray that
God will see to it that justice is done and that our Terri's life is
delivered from the clutches of this ruthless man, who dares to
pretend that he is grieving with us over what he has done to Terri."

Press Release

Husband of disabled Pinellas woman barring any visitors from seeing Terri Schiavo
Clearwater, FL October 22, 2003: On Tuesday, October 21, 2003, Terri Schindler-Schiavo was transported from the Hospice Woodside facility in Pinellas Park, Florida to Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater, Florida.

The last I heard on CNN about an hour ago was that Michael Schiavo was refusing to let anyone in to see Terri and his big mouth attorney was on talking about how terrible it was to not respect "her" wishes. I wish someone would shut him up permanently. God is still working this miracle. We need to keep praying, keep hammering away at the authorities. Schiavo needs to be removed as guardian. They say Bush is her guardian right now, but Schiavo was never removed as GAL. So, if Felos has the gall to file briefs with the court, the State gets to respond. I find this refreshing as it will be States' attorneys up against that slimeball Felos. Greer is in a precarious position right now. They are talking about getting a permanent injunction. I don't know how they can do that since Terri's Bill is now Terri's Law. Nothing Greer does would surprise me now. He is as soulless as the rest of them. I can't see her getting a reprieve, getting to a hospital, rehydrated and fed again only to have that miserable SOB Greer have her starved again. We need to ask God for faith and strength while he continues to work this precious miracle. We are all here to see what God has done in answering our prayer for this gentle soul who deserves to have proper medical care and treatment, not to be left to wither away under a court order that defies all basic rights a human being has, not just an American.

I guess I was mistaken about Michael being in the insurance business then. Well, nevertheless, I expect he has a hefty policy on Terri.

Thanks for the update. I have been so drained from this battle, but it is a wonderful kind of exhaustion and sense of satisfaction for having been a part of the fight that made a difference for Terri and for others in her plight. If you are on site, do give my love and a big hug to Terri's mom and dad and brother and sister for me and let them know we are celebrating with them even as we grieved with them.

We should get e-mail contact info, phone numbers,
faxes, etc. of Media outlets and send the Schindlers
response to Michaels lying letter that he put out in the press along with all the info. about Terri not really being "comatose" or "PVS" and that it was just a tactic
for Michael to try to get Terri killed.

just checking back for a sec...

let me get this straight.

New law states Terri is to be fed
M.schiavo is StILL guardian????
Why is he still the guardian?
What is to be done to remove him?
If Jeb is guardian, or the state, then why is M. Schiavo still calling the shots on who can visit her??

My goodness, this man looks as guilty as a fox in a hen house.

If Mr. Schiavile isn't Terri's guardian anymore, how can he order that her family not be permitted to visit?

Time to call Jeb Bush and let him know that as Terri's GUARDIAN he can rescind that order--and forbid Michael Schiavile and his pregnant girlfriend from seeing that poor woman!

Imagine having that vulture and his vulturess at your bedside while you're fighting for your life!

Amazing to what lengths Michael S. will go to get Terri killed. His claim about wanting her wishes honored is nonsense. There is no record of her wanting to die. Was it honoring her wishes when he commit adultery?

Please everybody, keep on this case. Your action helped save Terri for now. But Michael and his lawyers are in a frenzy.

"I expect there to be even more lawsuits coming from Michael"

Only now, there may be a few AGAINST Michael as well. Until now this fight has been very one-sided. It took hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, of people to turn tha tide, through an act of Congress AND through an act of God. Maybe now we can get some momentum in the opposite direction. Michael is no innocent victim here as he has tried to make himself out to be.
