Did you note the sentence how she was afraid of being murdered? She slept with her back to the window.....
I saw on local news station this am that Felos will be on BayNews 9 tomorrow at 12:30 along with a lady from "Not Dead Yet" to talk about "the constitution crisis regarding Terri's Law"(per newsperson's view of what is going on.)Does anyone know who the lady is from "Not Dead Yet" I hope she can keep up with Felos, he can be mean!

I continue to send letters to news organization to please see the issue at hand. Everyone was dedicated to educating the Fla govt regarding this issue and it's time to focus on the editorials and articles where we find them. Below is the letter I sent to the guy from the Daily Trojan. Thanks to those who post the articles so we know to whom to respond.

Dear ___
Your editorial position at the Daily Trojan would indicate that you are a student and young enough to be connected to the online community and that it plays a significant part of your everyday activities. It is astounding to me that you would so easily miss the tides of change enveloping the world of journalism.

The people interested in the Schiavo case get most of their information online and from nontraditional news sources. The information at hand about the Schiavo case is reams of paper in the real world.

George Felos et. al. would like to define this as a "right to die" case. Hundreds of thousands of people who have been folloing the Schiavo case know it is unequivocally a right to fair treatment case. At some point, a jury awarded her 1.25 million dollars believing Terri Schiavo deserved and would benefit from treatment. If she was awarded funds for treatment and rehabilitation, why has it not only been not provided but succinctly refused?

How can you go logically from requesting funds for treatment in the 1990's to now seeking the right to die? She didn't want to die then, but does now? This is the heart of the matter. And this is the reason that hundreds of thousands of people from across the United States took time from their busy days to contact the Florida government and communicate to them the gross mistreatment of Terri Schiavo at the hands of her husband guardian. And the government responded. *That is your story.* Is it not stunning to to you that such a monumental mass would be so moved as to become activists for one woman's condition? Don't you have to ask yourself why this would be so? These are not ignorant masses.

I venture to guess you are humane and would want your grandmother treated with tender loving care (despite her mental faculties) and yet you blithely accept Ms. Schiavo's current treatment and condition. Try to get ahead of the curve and not let your issues be determined by old world media.

Best wishes in your future.

Oh, wow, thanks for the tip that Bay 9 is going to broadcast it! Sure enough, they mention it on their website here, looks like we may really be able to hear it, they have a link to listen to their streaming audio.

I saw the mention of this debate on some thread a few days ago, here's the link for the sponsoring club:

Tiger Bay Club: Schiavo Debate Info

The Tiger Bay Club of Tampa
Friday, November 14, 2003

"CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS: Death with Dignity Denied or Saved from Murder?"

I don't know anything about Diane Coleman, is she a good speaker? I hope she runs rings around Felos and nukes his double-speak with piercing clarity!
