fiesti found this article in the Tampa Tribune Monday 4/12 under the title "Who Speaks for Terri?". It took up a half page and included a nice photo of Terri.

fiesti notes:

"This is one of the best and most truthful articles I have read... It covered almost half a page in the paper. This was on the editorial page and also had a very nice picture of Terri with it .. It was such a great article I hated not to pass it on. Finally a truthful story..."

Thanks for passing this on, fiesti -- and thanks to all those who are working for Terri. May God richly reward those efforts and prayers with freedom for Terri. As they say, "From our lips to God's ears..."

Thanks again to fiesti for finding this op-ed in the Tampa paper. If anyone can find and post the link to the Tampa Tribune, oooh, and the photo!, that will be the icing on this cake -- thanks!

Several months ago I found a CA organization for the disabled that had an excellent website with a lot of information and links about Terri Schiavo. The national organization had (as I recall, and this is back around December) no information. Worse yet, the FL chapter of the group had NO INFORMATION, not even a passing mention of Terri!

If the FL group still has no mention of Terri, I want to know why the FL group has no concern for what is unfolding right on their doorstep , when a group on the other coast is stepping up to the plate for Terri. Does anyone else know what this group is? I believe I reached it via a posted info link. I’ll check my records later when I get more time.

Sad and disgusting.

This was an excellent article and I wish I would have had it to attach to the petition I circulated Friday. Some of those folks had never heard of Terri's plight and I basically had to come up with a brief background of my own. This is a definitive article. Thanks for posting it.

Excellent! Given the poisonous local atmosphere we've seen so many times before, I'm surprised -- but very glad -- that a Florida paper had the guts to publish the truth.

The writers wisely do not muddy the waters by noting that Michael Schiavo is the only suspect in the attempted murder of his wife in 1990. But there are hints for those who can read between the lines.

I am morally certain that Greer, Felos and Bushnell are all well aware that they are helping Michael finish the murder he botched 14 years ago. They need to be reminded now and then that their own hands are bloody now too.

I've had a hard time comprehending this since I first learned of Terri

Where are the doctors, the nurses, the therapists?

Doesn't anyone say, 'screw the court' and be humanitarian anyway?

I know enough about the medical community to say that if you have a legitimate malady, and not necessarily the insurance, doctors write scripts or nurses stamp his signature.

Emergency conditions go to the front of the line, etc., etc.

Did the medical schools teach out the love of life and do no harm?

This article does a pretty good job of summing up the entire, disgusting situation, although it neglects to highlight the complicity of Judge Baird and George Felos and their roles in this judicial travesty.

BUMP FOR TERRI!

It's frightening and very sad.

Terri is a HUMAN BEING. May God help her.

Michael Schiavo is keeping Terri's parents from seeing her just for his own sadistic pleasure at their pain as well as out of fear of what Terri might utter.

[fatima]

For Life bump.

Thanks for posting this. One of the best I've read to date. Great material to help enlighten others.

...despite the fiduciary obligation of the guardian to grow the account for Terri’s care, Judge Greer has ordered that Terri’s investments be liquidated,- that the annual return be slashed, and that her money set aside to pay still more attorney’s fees in order that Terri’s care would be paid for by Medicaid that’s right, so that you and I can pay for her care while her money is used to put her to death.

There is some NEW information here. Looks like the fox is in charge of the henhouse, as Greer is part of the conspiracy to steal Terri's funds and murder her.

Maybe the use of Medicaid can make this a FEDERAL OFFENSE. Heaven knows the county mounties and judges are currupt.

Watch for more news late tomorrow hopefully, if the Baird's court hearing occurs as planned.

[Askel5]

great find. thanks for your fidelity to Terri's fight.

[Humidston]

I don't understand this anymore. It has gone from the ridiculous to the sublime. Judge Greer should be impeached! Clearly, he's skimming money from Terri's account, along with that slime, Michael and his rotten rat lawyer.

And why WHY WHY can't the state step in and protect this poor dear lady before they murder her???

I guess they're all waiting for her to die so they can squabble over what money is left. This is so infuriating and frustrating!
