URGENT - ACTION NEEDED AT ONCE for Terri Schiavo
Children of God for Life ^ | 10-22-03 | Debi Vinnedge

Posted on 10/22/2003 7:58:52 PM PDT by cpforlife.org

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

Because they'd have access to evidence he'd rather they not have--probably for good reason.

GOOD NEWS - See # 56!

Do you really believe that he doesnt love her?

MICHAEL SCHIAVO DOES NOT LOVE TERRI

He's moved in with another woman and fathered two children by her. But he refuses to divorce Terri and is making sure she does not live to get a new guardian?

Does that seem like the action of a loving husband?

can anybody point me to something besides hearsay that Michael was to use the money for therapy, then decided not to after he received the money? I have seen a lot of conjecture and repetition but nothing specific.

I believe terrisfight.org cites records indicating Felos has been paid over $300K of it.

You are correct. If I don't "do something" I'll go nuts.

for your info, MS just spent the last few year raiding a $750,000 trust fund. the fact that the dirt bag, Felos, got about $400,000 of it is criminal, unless of course he's paying a kickback to MS. Judge Greer approved MS get his legal fees paid out of that fund. who has that kind of money and spends more than half on a lawyer. I just wonder why they didn't just split the entire amount. BTW, there are three other lawyers who got paid from it too. As far as "love," shacking up with a new little woman for the last several years and fathering two kids doesn't sound like love of Terri.

ya thats it......or could it be the point about it isnt in our hands?

Prevent anyone from receiving any food or water for long enough and they'll die, regardless of how healthy they were before the commencement of starvation or dehydration.

Why not leave and ignore us. All you have done is whinned like a lefty because a group of people are airing on the side of life.

What they tried to do to Terri is against the Geneva convention--even in times of declared war! People have gone to prison for starving a dog to death.

And all you can do is moan like a Klymer in your # 21 "I havent even read this post....but I am tired of this crap!"

Well I'm tired of you! Exit back to the LEFT!!

For someone who has a clear intention of killing a woman to pull her out of a hospital AMA when she is not medically stabilized would seem like pretty clear evidence of abuse.

There's the double indemnity life insurance policy when she's gone, too.

Michael paid Felos before opening up the trust fund, right? So when Terri's guardian ad litem was fired, Felos was Michael's lawyer, but now he's supposedly Terri's lawyer, right? Is that legal?

November 1992 – A medical malpractice trial is petitioned by Terri's husband, Michael Schiavo. He asks the jury for 20 million dollars to pay for his wife’s (Terri) future medical and neurological requirements. This request was based on estimates of her life expectancy, which Michael Schiavo and his attorneys were estimating at 50 years.
Medical Malpractice Trial – Testimony of Michael Schiavo
November 1992 – In a highly emotional trial, Michael Schiavo implored the jury to award money for his wife’s future medical and neurological care. Actual excerpts from the malpractice trial transcript reveal Michael Schiavo’s sworn testimony as he responded to his attorney's question. (It is important to note that Terri’s alleged wishes stating, "she wouldn’t want to live this way," are never mentioned by her husband at the 1992 malpractice trial).
Q: Why did you want to learn to be a nurse?
Michael Schiavo: Because I enjoy it and I want to learn more how to take care of Terri.

Q: You're a young man. Your life is ahead of you. When you look up the road, what do you see for yourself?
Michael Schiavo: See myself hopefully finishing school and taking care of my wife.

Q: Where do you want to take care of your wife?
Michael Schiavo: I want to bring her home.
Q: If you had the resources available to you, if you had the equipment and the people, would you do that?
Michael Schiavo: Yes, I would, in a heartbeat.
Q: How do you feel about being married to Terri now?
Michael Schiavo: I feel wonderful. She's my life and I wouldn't trade her for the world. I believe in my wedding vows.
Q: You believe in your wedding vows, what do you mean by that?
Michael Schiavo: I believe in the vows I took with my wife, through sickness, in health, for richer or poor. I married my wife because I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I'm going to do that.

I have a really strong suspicion the trust fund books contain pretty clear evidence of criminal intent in the attemps to kill Terri.

I think his line: "taking care of my wife" meant something other than the good way.

"calls her Dad."

" I never saw that! did it really happen? or was it a Dahhhh??

It was audio. There was a responsive tone to her voice when she diliberately spoke the word dad. SHe was aware of her dad and indicated happiness(the affect was responsive and diliberate) and, by the spacing of the slow audible their were more than one, or a steady conscious image in her mind.

"Im really not trying to be mean here, but is this more important than the fight GW is fighting?.."

If some helpless woman is being murdered out in the open like this. She is being murdered, because the diagnosis given in the trial was a 100% lie. If those scum succeed, what do you think this country is worth? Remember now, this is all happening in our face before the fact.

" like the bushes are responsible for something that happened before they even reported for work"

Ashcroft should get off his...after all he's got a staff.

You know, cpforlife.org, I read these stories. And basically, my take-away so far seems to be: Hubby better watch his butt, or perhaps he will be accused on the charge of homocide soon -- maybe even the charge of murder.

So far he doesn't seem to be a particularly careful or crafty person. (Just a brutal one.) I'll bet you if he pushes it, he will almost certainly put himself in a position where he is legally culpable -- in terms of federal law, not just state law, pertaining to capital crimes involving handicapped victims.

Let's keep our vigil: We are the observers of what goes down. And then pray God for justice. Thank you so much for the fine post, cpforlife.org.
