The Terri Schindler Schiavo Daily Threads are created month to month as we watch local and national news regarding Terri and her family.
Since Terri's supporters are in every time zone, you may see something FIRST. Please share news with us that you don't see here already. Now, why would you want to do that? Terri's Daily Thread for September/October of 2004 was viewed over 15,000 times. Terri's November Daily Thread was viewed over 6,000 times. December's thread is over 3,000 views.
More and more good folks are finding out about Terri and that judicial tyranny would take her life, but for lots and lots of prayer and non-stop lobbying of relatives, friends, clergy, our leaders, the media, a passerby, a cashier - ANYONE who you feel comfortable chatting with.
Folks always want to know how can this be in America or on earth for that matter? Unfortunately, this is really happening to an innocent woman who just celebrated her 41st birthday. She's not the only one but she's the one with devoted parents and siblings who knows what's in Terri's heart. Terri has a strong will to live. That's apparent. It's been 14 years.
Besides, feeding tubes have been around practically since the Civil War. They are not high tech devices. Terri is "not hooked up to machines". Her feeding tube is the diameter of a piece of spaghetti.
Talkin' about Terri is the best way to lobby for her. It is a salespitch to save her life and subsequently, many lives. If you've never sold anything in your life, START NOW. START WITH TERRI.
See Terri's flash movies if you need more information. You can see for yourself that's she's interactive and follows the doctor's instructions.

NOTE: Terri's December Dailies are noted as a source above. There are lots of important links at the very top of that thread. If you missed Terri's Celebration of Life, you can click on it from there.
1. Why has he refused several recommendations for Terri's continued therapies?
2. Why did he not mention his wife's wishes during one of two malpractice cases?
3. If Michael expected Terri to live to at least age 51, why did he order her caregivers not to treat her for a potentially life-threatening infection in August of 1993, and another in late 1995?
4. Why did he invoke a "do not resuscitate" order just a few months after the jury award?
5. Why, in 1997, did he announce his engagement to another woman, while still married to Terri?
6. Why, also in 1997, did he hire George Felos, an attorney with a reputation for fighting "right to die" cases, to represent him?
7. Why did he petition the court, also in 1997, to have Terri's feeding tube removed so she would starve and dehydrate to death.
8. Why did several nursing home workers swear that Terri's demeanor changed after he was in the room with her?
9. Why did nursing home workers swear that he at times stormed into the facility asking when "that bitch" would die?
10. Why did he have Terri, who does not have a terminal illness, moved to a hospice in 2000, even though hospices are designed for people who are expected to die within six months? According to his earlier calculations, she still had at least 15 more years left to live.
Thank you, Scoop 1 !
I could NOT BELIEVE THIS ARTICLE!!!!!
I have NEVER read such encouraging words about Terri from two people who met her for the first time this past Christmas eve.
I had to go to the link you provided to reread this article...........I AM SO THRILLED AND AT THE SAME TIME SO AGHAST AT WHAT FELOS AND MIKE THE MONSTER ARE TRYING TO DO I CANNOT STAND IT!
Why is MEDICAID paying for this young and alert and ALIVE woman to spend her days in a HOUSE OF DEATH?
What in the HECK IS GOING ON?????
These attorneys must have had a shock to the bone upon seeing her response to her mother and her listening silence and vocalized responses!
Thank you GOD for protecting Terri..............THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I know YOUR hand is upon this, Your child, and her family and supporters.
It is time to get Terri OUT of a HOSPICE designed to aid in the death of those terminally ill and to bring to JUSTICE those who have abused her so significantly over these last LONG and BRUTAL years.
This is THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ARTICLE I HAVE READ YET REGARDING TERRI!
We must get this out to Greta Van Susteran and ALL MEDIA who would understand the importance of NOT MURDERING THIS WOMAN in a brutal fashion to appease a monster and his $$$$ attorneys! I want to send this article to Felos, Bushnell and Greer and the ACLU in Florida and everyone, including the St Pete Times, Herald (whatever) and my gosh, we must get onto Glen Beck's show and talk this article up until EVERY AMERICAN understands the horror being laid upon Terri and her family by genuinely heartless and abusive creeps.
FV- Great Letter to the Advocacy Center!!! BTW, sis you e-mail the Board of Directors as weel, found in post 392? I think if people psot their e-mails here it encourages other people to send an e-mail.
It is so very important since this is the only known open outside investigation on behalf of Terri.
I wish I would have written, "Rome burned while Nero Fiddled. Terri had 8 teeth extracted do to no dental care. She has no dental care on the instructions of her husband (in name only). While you fiddled around with your investigation for a year and a quarter, Terri suffered. It happened on YOUR watch. "
To late now, perhaps someone else can use it.
Please everyone e-mail the Advocacy Center AND the Board of Directors.

FV SAYS: please jot these down or print them and call one or 2 a day until the list is done. LET US KNOW IF YOU GOT THROUGH so we can measure if our lobbying efforts are working.
This ought to be of some value. Terri's nightmare would FLOOR Senator Lindsey Graham, South Carolina imo and Orrin Hatch. Kyl of Arizona ignored my email about Terri but they HAVE TO ANSWER THEIR PHONE!

Here's a link to that thread that Scoop1 posted for us. Meant to post this hours ago, but got caught up in discussion with a freeper who wanted to know more. Chalk another one up for Terri's side!http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1316724/posts?page=1,50
When am I going to find time to pick out a new boy toy? I'm bummed. Anybody know a nice looking guy between 40 and 45?
Getting dumped for the new year was a huge surprise to me. I'll need some sympathy bumps here to get me through the weekend.
This is Terri's thread but OUCH. On the bright side, I'm auditioning for the community chorus on Tuesday evening. I hope I pass that. Good night.
Guys like that method I guess. Please help me run this thread the rest of the month. I will be slightly off my game. Thanks, freepers.
I'm sorry, FV! Poor timing!
On a happier note, I know of someone who shares your birthday, your passion for Terri (even more so than you), who just turned 40 and had a nice surprise visit from his family, who also happens to live in your area! He's even pretty good-lookin' to boot! But you'll have to work out the arrangements all on your own...I've given you enough clues!
P.S. - I'm hoping the voting is going well. Would love to get Terri some more great publicity!
Gee, those are some dynamite clues.
