I am writing to you from St.Petersburg, Fl where I have been very active and involved in any way shape and form I can to help Terri continue living. I wish those of you that were not fortunate to meet the Schindlers do get to meet them and realize their unconditional love for their daughter Terri and the closeness within the family, also their loyalty and dedication. The parents and siblings are also heros in this case as they have basically given all their time and energies to fight on behalf of Terri who is not allowed to speak for herself. I wonder at times if she was given a board and a marker, what would she write? D I V O R C E M E ? or G E T M E O U T O F H E R E . I BET SHE HAS LOTS TO SAY...and I hope one day she'll be allowed to speak for herself.Imagine not speaking for over 12 years? all the stories you'd have to tell, I'm sure Terri has some pretty interesting stories to tell, some may lead to the conviction of Michael to the Penn. where he does belong. I hope each person here reads every post and then puts them self in Terris position and her family's willingness to care for her, then come to a conclusion. Congratulate Michael on the birth of his second child!! How can he love Terri? when hes making babies with Jodi? Think about that....Why's he not keeping his marital vows he said he'd keep in court? Why hide medical evidence? Why not provide therapy that the 1 Mill. was awarded for?? The $300 K awarded for the loss of consortion with Terri was used to replace her with Jodi Centonze? think, think folks......This could be your mother, sister, friend or loved one in Terri's shoes ...call all the radio, TV, newspapers, Larry King,(call tonight 10-27 at 9PM eastern)have your questions written and ready for Michael...Please...call/email Geraldo, any place else you can think of...even Governor Jeb Bush, George Felos, Judge Greer, Jay wolfson and ask them intelligent questions..I also thank each and everyone of you that is involved and thats continuing to pray for her, as shes not out of the woods yet! Thankyou!! folks..

Terri Schiavo's longtime doctor resigned on Thursday just as Michael Schiavo's attorney is preparing to wage a court battle that will begin on Monday to overturn Governor Jeb Bush's executive order asking doctors to reinsert Terri's feeding tube.
Dr. Victor Gambone faxed a note to Morton Plant Hospital confirming he would be stepping down as Terri's doctor. He had claimed that the removal of the tube would allow her to die peacefully within days -- contrary to the belief of numerous pro-life doctors and doctors' groups.
Michael's attorney George Felos, an assisted suicide advocate, said, "The events of the last two weeks weighed on him very heavily."
Morton Plant Hospital, where Terri Schiavo was taken Tuesday for the gastric tube to be reinserted, brought in another specialist to take over for Gambone, Felos said.
Meanwhile, Terri's parents visited her again on Thursday and they say she continues to improve, albeit slowly.
"Terri is great, absolutely great. She has her color back. She's tired, but she just looks wonderful," her father, Bob Schindler, told the Associated Press.
Both sides will appear in court next Monday as Felos challenges Bush's order. He says both the order and the legislation passed by the Florida legislature are unconstitutional.
Felos will file his brief on Monday and Florida Attorney General Charlie Crist is expected to file a response by next Friday.
The legislation allows for a guardian to be appointed for Terri and if both sides can't agree on one, which is likely, a judge will be able to appoint one.
In other news, the ACLU has confirmed that it will aid Michael Schiavo in the upcoming legal battle.
For months the ACLU stayed uninvolved because courts continually sided with Michael. Howard Simon, director of the organization's Florida affiliate said they decided to get involved once the legislature and Governor Bush intervened.
That news comes as an outrage to Pamela Hennessy, a representative of the family.
"I've been contacting the ACLU since the beginning of my involvement in this case to have them speak out against what's going on with Terri," Hennessy said. "It's going on against her will. She's had her religious freedoms stripped from her. She's had her civil liberties stripped from her. And they're defending the husband?"
Leaders of the AARP and the Florida Bar Association are also considering whether or not to get involved, and also on Michael's behalf.
Finally, Terri's family confirmed that after Michael Schiavo required a representative of his to be present when Terri's family during visitations that his "mistress" was once his official representative. In at least once instance, Jodi Centonze, with whom Michael has been living for a number of years and with whom he has one child and another one the way, was the official representative.
Republic:(IF THE CRUDENESS and CALLOUSNESS and HORROR of this INDIGNITY and OFFENSE DOES NOT MAKE YOUR BLOOD BOIL, YOU ARE NOT ALIVE!!!!!THE MISTRESS AS THE GATEKEEPER!! IS THAT HELL OR NOT? I SAY IT IS. IMAGINE being the SCHINDLERS under this circumstance..........MICHAEL IS EVIL!!! HE IS!!}
I now have my question for Michael tonight, if I should get thru on the phone lines!

Yes, it's sorely needed, as we've had a critical shortage of THOSE threads recently.
