URGENT - ACTION NEEDED AT ONCE for Terri Schiavo

URGENT - ACTION NEEDED AT ONCE While many have heard that Terri Schiavo's feeding tube has been re-inserted, her life is in eminent danger. Michael Schiavo is still her legal guardian. The would-be murderer is responsible for guarding his own victim! In addition when Terri was moved from hospice, he immediately blocked visitation rights at the hospital for her parents, siblings and family priest - the only source of Terri's comfort, love and joy. An emergency motion ordered visitation restored for the family but it was not received in the attorney's offices until 5:15PM today. By the time the family was able to get down to the hospital, her husband had removed her from the hospital and taken to an "undisclosed location" - we are told perhaps back to hospice.

In any case, the family has not been informed - they do not know her medical condition or whether the feeding tube has been reinstated or not. An IV was inserted at approximately 9:30 last night. This is a woman starved for 7 days with no food or water yet Michael has the audacity to remove her from the hospital care!

It is an outrage that Michael Schiavo and his attorney feel they can spit in the face of the governor, the Fl House and Senate - and trample Terri's rights with absolutely no regard for her health, happines or wishes.

Complaints have been filed through the Department of Health and Human Services yet nothing is being done to protect Terri from physical harm or to assure her rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Please take a moment and file your complaint with the Office of Civil Rights. Click here for the form: Discrimination Complaint Form or go to: http://hhs.gov/ocr/discrimhowtofile.html You can also file your complaint by email at OCRcomplaint@hhs.gov or call the District Office in Atlanta: Roosevelt Freeman, 404 562-7886. Tell them to immediately act and remove her care/custody from Michael.

In addition, please contact your US Congressman and ask him to investigate why the Department of Justice is not protecting Terri's civil rights as a disabled American and further request that the Department of Health and Human Services Civil Rights Office act at once to protect her.

Go to our website to read the formal letters of complaint filed by Children of God for Life, the family and medical personnel through Delegate Robert Marshall with Attorney General Ashcroft, the House Judiciary Committee and President Bush, asking for immediate federal intervention. You should read the facts to help explain the problem to your Congressmen. www.cogforlife.org/schiavo.htm

We will keep the site updated daily with new developments until Terri is safe and her rights guaranteed by the US Constitution and the State of Florida are upheld! God bless, Debi Vinnedge, Executive Director Children of God for LIfe

This is beyond unbelievable.

By the time the family was able to get down to the hospital, her husband had removed her from the hospital and taken to an "undisclosed location" - we are told perhaps back to hospice.

----------------------

What's this? He's kidnapped her from the hospital? I'd like confirmation and explanation.

[Cicero]

Once again, it becomes evident that Governor Bush has to send in the State Police or someone authorized by his executive authority to guard her from further judicial chicanery.

[RLK]

This woman should have been put under 24 hour guard by state police.

do we need to start contacting Ashcroft???
Any legal eagles who can help us know what is the next best step?

[cookcounty]

Is there a lawyer in the house?

I don't understand this "legal guardian " bit at all. Surely the power of attorney is not an absolute right. She would have wanted her family to be there, at a minimum, and now he's denying the priest access to her? He has the right to change her religion?

If he decided to take her out to the barn and use her for target practice, would that be OK with the law, too?

"do we need to start contacting Ashcroft???

You could tell Ashcroft that she used to make glass pipes, that should have him send a flying wedge of G-men down.

This is unbelievable!

Can no one put a 'restraining order' on the husband. Shades of a Scott Peterson here. . .

[joesnuffy]

The cops were there to "guard" anyone from coming to her rescue to give her "last rites"
the cops were protecting the murderers right to murder...
Now they are no where to be found?
And she has been taken somewhere to be killed...or left to die...????
And the law isnt hunting this sob down ...
He just violated Bush's order....

[RLK]

It's easy to put a restraining order on him and to get him thrown in jail. Just argue that in her deliberately weakened condition, moving her represents a foreseeable deliberate threat to her life. Hit the sonofabitch with conspiracy to commit murder charge. He can spend the time during which his lawyer protests in jail.

More from Debi

Oh yeah...we all have to get our news from the news station now - they are telling Terri's parents nothing!!!!
Terri is back in hospice - they said her condition is stable - and that the feeding tube was just reinserted. So she has only had IV since last night....
Meanwhile the guardian ad litem only provides help in litigation and has nothing to do with actual guardian care of Terri....

[katnip]

An emergency motion ordered visitation restored for the family but it was not received in the attorney's offices until 5:15PM today.

Can you just explain this to me please?

A judge has ordered they can visit now? How can the hospice keep them out? Or was it site specific (hospital)

Thanks.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Herald.com, is where you need to go for the full story. click on news , then click on Florida. THere is a big article about it.

Terri's family visited her tonight and are pretty satisfied with the arrangements. She had the feeding tube reinserted in the hospital and was then returned to the Hospice.

Check it out for your selves.

God couldn't help him or his lawyer if I were Governor of Florida. I'd come up with rationales at a rate of ten a minute and judges to support him. He's find himself in a jail cell with foot-long Jackson.

[deport]

He just violated Bush's order....
