ANGRY PING

[DoctorMichael]

To my knowledge there is no such word as WITHDRAAN.

Do you mean 'withdrawn' as in 'removed' or 'pulled out'?

It was withdruun? Really? Shuucks

I find the withdrawal of this bill neither surprising nor terribly discouraging. From what I remember, the bill represented a substantial change to the existing laws, when the problem isn't that the current laws are bad but rather that they're being flouted.

The critical issue in Terri's case is not whether Terri must be fed, but rather whether an openly-adulterous spouse who has openly declared that he wants his wife dead should be considered a suitable guardian for that wife. To be sure, the feeding issue has been urgent, but the guardianship issue is and remains critical. While Terri is in Michael's clutches, she won't be safe regardless of what the court decides on the feeding issues. Once she's rescued, she won't be in danger regardless of what the court decides on the feeding issue.

Thanks for supplying the addresses and phone numbers.
Following is the E-Mail I just sent:

Senator King,

With all due respect do you realize that the entire country, no, the entire world looks at Florida and
the corruption that lives within. And that you are first and foremost concerned with your legacy!
Do not play God or God will reward you with his justice.

Resubmit Bill 692 and see to it that it passes. We are all watching to see what transpires and will
act accordingly. If you choose the wrong decision, I will do all in my power to see that you are
never elected to another office whether it be in Florida or anywhere in the United States!

Sincerely,

Me

DEMONSTRATION NOTICE

---

Bradford County Citizens Hold Rally along SR 301 in Starke to Denounce Michael Schiavo's on going attempt to have his disabled wife's (Terri Schiavo's) feeding tube pulled.

On April 24, 2004, beginning at 8 o'clock am., and lasting until 5 o'clock p.m., local residents will hold protest in front of the Bradford County Courthouse located at SR 301 in Starke, Florida

Why? Terri Schiavo has no living will. In other words, Michael Schiavo (Who has been living with a woman for about 8 yrs, and has two children with that woman), visa Attorney George Felos , is using the Florida Judicial System to redefine the word "dead" to include his brain injured wife.(There are presently 25,000 human beings, living throughout our country, who are in the same situation as Terri Schiavo.)

Today, the Second District Court of Appeals affirmed Judge W. Douglas Baird's decision for venue in Pinellas County in the matter of Schiavo v. Bush. That means that this case will remain in Pinellas County and in Baird's court. You will recall that Judge Baird had stated the Terri's Law, the law that enabled Governor Bush to intervene and restore Terri's sustenance, is 'presumptively unconstitutional'.

Additionally, Michael Schiavo, through his attorney, George Felos, has asked that Judge Baird issue a summary judgment on the constitutionality of Terri's Law, without allowing Governor Bush discovery or the ability to take depositions.

Today's action by the Second District Court of Appeals paves the way for Judge Baird to summarily pass judgment that Terri's Law is unconstitutional.

Just a crazy thought but is there anyway all of us Freepers could join in a type of class action case? I would gladly chip in to help with expenses if such a thing were possible. Maybe we could go after Michael?

Received the following E-Mail today:

BREAKING DEVELOPMENT IN TERRI'S SITUATION

On April 20, 2004, Attorney Deborah Bushnell (who represents Michael Schiavo) faxed a letter to Attorney Patricia Anderson (who represents Bob and Mary Schindler, Terri's parents).

In that letter, Ms. Bushnell stated that Terri has had five teeth extracted. Ms. Bushnell offered no reasonable explanation of why this was done, if Terri was appropriately anesthetized, what follow-up care is being prescribed nor if any restorative dental work was to be provided to her.

For years, in court, Terri's family has argued that Terri's husband, Michael Schiavo had not provided her proper dental care - among other things. Now, Terri has had five teeth removed.

As of this writing, it is unknown what, if anything, is being done to address this problem. Terri's parents are unable to get clear information regarding their daughter's condition.
