Keyes letter on Terry Schiavo actions

Keyes Media Central ^ | 12/9/03 | Alan Keyes

[Huber]

Given the heavy Freeper involvement in getting things moving in Florida to save Terry, I was hoping that you all could attest to the accuracy of Alan Keyes's narrative.

[Huber]

PING.

BUMP

God Bless Alan Keyes and every person who has worked to save Terri Schiavo.

It's accurate and if it's not on AK's web site, it just means that there's still work being done behind the scenes every day for Terri. THE BELTWAY KNOWS ABOUT TERRI and hubby's attorney doesn't control them.

Fair warning that some freepers despise Alan Keyes (don't know why). If they drop by to disrupt your thread, just ask for a troll alert from sweet liberty or meeknming. It's better to avoid the "report abuse" button.

We don't want threads about Terri to get pulled. That's a troll's reason for being here.

Further, freepers were on scene during the entire time, offering to help and earning the trust of terrisfight.org. Free Republic fought bureaucrats, judges and the media EVERY DAY.

FYI to my 'Terri Thread Facilitators' List -

Huber, you neglected to include the most important abuse of Terri's plight by the Keyes/Terry call for cash:

"Finally, please consider helping us offset the costs incurred to enter the fight for Terri's life. (In case you wondered, I put my radio show on hold for another month.) https://secure.cartlight.com/merchant/schiavo/donation.php?afid=wgak

"We put out multiple thousands of dollars to serve the family, to exhaust legal options, and create the avalanche of publicity. I will not personally take one penny from the Society for Truth and Justice for my efforts. However, we must pay all bills accrued. If you agree with the steps we have taken, and are in a position to help with these efforts (and those that are coming), please send whatever help you can. Gifts are not tax deductible.

As far as I'm concerned, a band of pretenders came into town; smelled an opportunity for a fundraiser; raised a little dust, and as they vanished into the night were heard to declare Terri 'saved' ( using a four word caveat ) "....for the time being....".

The last time this was heard was on November 23, 2003. This latest echo was heard on December 9th.

READ THE CALL FOR CASH CAREFULLY - NO WHERE IS THERE EVEN A HINT OF THEM SHARING THE PROCEEDS WITH THE SCHINDLER FOUNDATION - TERRI'S FAMILY

The Schindler family is stone broke, working through an attorney who's doing this for free. In my experience 'free' is a lawyer's heaven of fine print - a blindsided knockout punch.

The Schindler's are in a place where they must rely upon a group of volunteers, who they ( and we ) can only hope are not moles for the opposition, and have something beyond a vague notion about the task they've been assigned.

SO WHERE'S THE KEYES/TERRY CALL FOR CASH FOR THE SCHINDLER FOUNDATION???

Terri's as close to being murdered now, as she was before these professionals came into town AND 'saved' her.

Once again these professional fundraisers have the audacity to put out their cup behind a grueling fourteen days (???) they say was exhausted for Terri's cause. The Terri exercise broke 'em financially. Probably the reason for their sending out essentially the same spam at least three times that I can count.

"Should anyone be permitted to exaggerate their effectiveness, to achieve a purpose? I asked this question on 23 November of last year, when an almost mirror copy of a 'we saved Terri' spam was sent out from Keyes/Terry, and became the subject of a FR thread."

I realize this is a tardy addition to this thread. I only came across it as I'm revising the number of Terri threads on FR, and had to put in my two cents. Abusing Terri in any fashion gets on my bad side real quick.

The fact is I've been quite ill over the last few months, and as a consequence have not been an active FReeper. That is to say my condition is unchanged, but I feel I started something that needs updating from time to time. I'm nearing the completion of this exercise, and will post it in a day or two.

'Terri Thread Facilitators' - May He embrace you in His protection in the coming year, and through Him you reflect a wisdom critical to correcting the direction of our beloved nation. You have my wish for a healthy and prosperous new year.

[TaxRelief]

We don't know that they won't be back or that they are not doing anything to help Terri anymore. Do we?

I think we should be careful not to burn any bridges.

[cyn]

Thanks for your work and concern. Here's hoping that things can get cleared up for the clear benefit of Terri and the Schindler family. I'll be keeping you in my prayers; take care & know you're missed :o( .

[tutstar]

Does someone have an email address where we can respond to this?
I think this is despicable!! The Schindler's TMO have not asked for money from anyone!! If Randall went there for his own agenda maybe we should make come calls to his church!!

[Tribune7]

bump

[PrepareToLeave]

I would absolutely give as generously as I could to the Schindlers. If someone could give an address to mail the check to, I'll send it off.

As for Mr. Keyes, I believe him to be a Godly man. However, his asking for money is infurating. I'll not go any further, I expressed myself totally on the last thread. If that makes me a troll, so be it.

[trussell]

Go to this site. The links on the left. One is labeled donations. There is a mailing address there.

http://www.terrisfight.org/

[cyn]

Perhaps Robert Drobot has an email address we can make inquiries to.

I wonder if the repeat emails originated with Keyes' office or if they were still circulating the internet? I've not received any myself.

[cyn]

thanks for posting that link. I also send cards to the Schindlers and Terri (as we were urged in a thread back in Nov/Dec) at that address. The Schindlers are always glad to know people are supporting them. They are truly nice people.

Thinking of everyone at the McCabe protest now going on -- hope the weather is a bit warmer for them, esp as the sun sets.

[EternalVigilance]

I was working in DC during that time period on a number of conservative projects; in conjunction with the Keyes organization. EVERYONE there dropped EVERYTHING else to concentrate ALL efforts towards helping Terri.

I can attest that everything in this piece is accurate, and I resent your representation of any of these fine individuals as anything but honorable in all of this.

You are also grossly mistaken if you think Dr. Keyes' operations are anything but pure grassroots. They are consistently doing more to help the conservative movement than anybody else I know: and always with minimal funds.

The Left in general, and the left wing of the GOP, would like nothing more than for Keyes and those like him to shut up and go away.

My friend, I have past reasons on FR to respect you, but frankly you have bought lies in this case.

If there is anything wrong or dishonorable about conservative organizations or leaders asking those who share our conservative agenda and beliefs for the funds to continue such work; and if whiners in our ranks are going to make that somehow 'dirty', then we all might as well hang it up right now; there is no hope; the Left has won. Do you have similiar criticism of Jim for asking for the funds to continue FR? How about the GOP? All the other myriad organizations out there? Your church?

Come on. Grow up.

It takes bullets and blankets to fight a war, friend.

In closing, let me say that there were key victories won behind the scenes in this particular instance that would not have been won if it were not for Alan Keyes, Mary Parker Lewis, and to a lesser extent Randall Terry.

Respectfully but somewhat bitterly,
EV

PS...I am in Texas working to elect more conservatives to Congress. I have meetings tonight and so I won't be able to respond til late. But I do look forward to your response.

Hi, EV -- I was trying to remember who was with Keyes.

"If there is anything wrong or dishonorable about conservative organizations or leaders asking those who share our conservative agenda and beliefs for the funds to continue such work . . . "

NO! But that's not the issue here, as I understand it. YES, Alan Keyes and Randall Terry have helped Terri's fight (as have so many others through all these years!), that is not at issue.

But the fact is, and our CONCERN is, that Terri is STILL in danger. She is still literally under assault. She is not, has NEVER been, out of danger, and will not as long as her HINO Michael is her guardian.

Another concern is that people will send their $$ for Terri to Randall Terry instead of to Terrisfight.org (which NEEDS the $$ for directly funding Terri’s ongoing daily battles). Isn’t that the purpose of this email?

So I appreciate Robert Drobot’s post. In light of his concern -- whether in the end it is founded or not -- he had an obligation to put it out for discussion. As indeed I feel the obligation to post this reply. I respect and appreciate RD for ‘putting himself on the line’, esp. now, at personal cost while he is ill. If there is error in his interpretation, then you as an insider can gently correct that! Eh voila, FR serves its purpose once again.

It’s the end of a long day and I'm trying to be so careful how I word this. I don’t want to offend any one by this (harmless little fuzzball me, lol!). Sure wish I could be as eloquent as AnnaZ, as concise as AppyPappy, as kind as Alamo girl!

Take care, EV & RD. Best regards to you both, and thanks for doing what you see to do, though often at great personal expense.

[cyn]

Thank you for your post, RD. Let's see what the answers are. I hope things will work out for you healthwise.

That's the short answer.

[floriduh voter]

Your statements are 100% accurate regarding Terri. What matters more than all the self appointed "information minsters" here put together, who have NOT been to Pinellas County and ARE NOT not in the Beltway either, is that Terri is very much alive and we are looking forward to her independence day.

Many thanks to the Keyes organization who were involved day to day and continue to receive updates from Tampa Bay. (we had a great protest yesterday and today at the Courthouse Complex where State Atty Bernie McCabe claims to work. GRAND JURY NOW, Bernie.)
