*Michael, HAVE A HEART !!!!!For Valentines Day give Terri back to her MOM & DAD, The Schindlers!!!!!!!!*

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. January 2005 Daily Thread was a RECORD HIGH!!!!!!! 15, 103 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.

AGAIN WE HAVE A NEW RECORD: 15,103 views on the tote board for the Terri Schindler Schiavo January Daily Thread!

The most significant event in Terri's case in January, was the Supreme's Courts refusal to hear Governor Jeb Bush's appeal, after the Florida State Legislature struck down Terri's Law. This once again places Terri's life in extreme jeopardy, though there are other issues regarding her case before the court.

I know that many bishops go against the Pope. In 1961 the Vatican said that homosexuals should not become priests. SOME bishops (not all) and SOME seminaries went against the Vatican, and look what happened.

Perhaps the U.S. Conference of Bishops could control bishops that go against the Pope's teachings, or a particular bishop's Cardinal or his head bishop. I don't know all the answers, but wouldn't you think?

[Theodore R.]

Yes, the more liberal Baptist state papers will publish prolife letters. The "liberals" in the ranks of Baptists tend to be employees of the various Baptist bodies.

[Sun]

"What happens if a priest goes against the will of such a bishop (but with the will of the Pope?)"

The bishop can give the priest a hard time, if he chooses, but I'm sure the priest would rather displease the bishop, rather than displease God!

[Theodore R.]

An honest Constitutional attorney could rip a few like Greer and Felos to pieces.

Yes, but not in the court of George W. Greer! And Terri has not been allowed to be heard in any other court, which must follow the dicta of Gorge W. Greer. Never had that monster acquired so much power until he became a "lowly" circuit judge.

[lakey]

Do you mean to tell me that a formal request for a change of venue is not allowed?

[FR_addict]

Thought I would mention this new book, since we have been discussing out of control judges.

"Men in Black - How the Supreme Court is Destroying America"
It is written by Mark R. Levin and the introduction is by Rush Limbaugh

Sean Hannity said "He describes a Supreme COurt that is out of control and out of order. Men in Black is a modern conservative classic."

News Release Feb 19, 2005 CATHOLIC MEDICAL ASSOCIATION:

Statement of the Catholic Medical Association : Regarding the provision of artificial nutrition and hydration in the case of Mrs. Terri Schindler-Schiavo.

The mission of the Catholic Medical Association (CMA) is to uphold the truth of the Catholic Faith in the science and practice of medicine. In July 2003, the CMA published a statement regarding the provision of artificial nutrition and hydration in the case of Mrs. Terri Schindler-Schiavo. The circumstances surrounding this case have been widely publicized. In 2003, after summarizing the ethical directives found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care, we concluded that based upon the current teaching of the Church the withdrawal of nutrition and hydration could not be justified.

Two subsequent events compel us to update our former statement to uphold the truth and defend the life of Mrs. Schindler-Schiavo.

In March 2004, Pope John Paul II addressed an international congress of health care professionals convened in Rome to discuss the scientific advances and ethical dilemmas in the vegetative state. In the statement by the Vicar of Christ, “Life Sustaining Treatments and Vegetative State,” he declares clearly and unequivocally that “the sick person in a vegetative state still has the right to basic health care…the administration of water and food, even when provided by artificial means, always represents a natural means of preserving life, not a medical act…Its use furthermore, should be considered in principle, ordinary and proportionate, and as such morally obligatory…Death by starvation or dehydration is, in fact, the only possible outcome as a result of their withdrawal. In this sense it ends up becoming, if done knowingly and willingly, true and proper euthanasia by omission.”

This papal statement makes it absolutely clear that the withdrawal of food and water from Mrs. Schindler-Schiavo constitutes euthanasia, a gravely immoral act. We would add furthermore, that it represents a violation of her constitutionally protected right to life and a violation of her religious freedom as a Catholic.

Second, recently published data in the journal Neurology indicates that magnetic resonance imaging can be a very powerful tool in the evaluation of “awareness” in patients with severe neurological injury. The findings were so remarkable Dr. Joy Hirsch, director of the Functional MRI Research Center at Columbia University Medical School and an author of the study, said, “The most consequential thing about this is that we have opened a door, we have found an objective voice for these patients, which tells us they have some cognitive ability in a way they cannot tell us themselves. The patients are more human than we imagined in the past, and it is unconscionable not to aggressively pursue research efforts to evaluate them and develop therapeutic techniques.”

These two events, the definitive papal statement and the scientific evidence of new diagnostic techniques required to adequately assess the severely brain injured patient, support our former conclusion in July 2003. There is no rational justification, moral or medical, to withdraw food and water from Mrs. Terri Schindler-Schiavo.

Finally, we recognize that many will not agree with our conclusion. In a country that legally justifies the destruction of innocent human life in its most vulnerable stage of development, within the womb of the mother, it will come as no surprise that our courts have failed to defend her right to life. The darkness of death shrouds the conscience of America.

Therefore, we conclude this statement by making a sincere appeal to all who do agree with us. Please join us in prayer on behalf of Terri, her family and our country; that by the Grace of Almighty God some intervention will save her life and save us from the inevitable consequences if she were euthanized.

FLA AG Crist's staff said to a caller "Crist it the attorney for the STATE, not for individuals. Well, THEN HE BETTER QUIT HELPING THE PARAPLEGIC WHO GOT KICKED OFF A US AIRWAYS FLIGHT. Either you are working for the people or the state and the Fla AG HAS A CIVIL RIGHTS DEPT.

He wants to be the next Governor. He's hurting his chances by weaving and dodging like Kerry.

Get out the phone books and call churches in your area about the life or death situation faced by Terri Schiavo. 1. Please ask them to pray for her and to visit 2. www.terrisfight.org. If they are rude, then move on to the next number. Telemarketing for Terri and for the Lord.

The hook after basic explanation is to say that "THIS IS THE SLIPPERY SLOPE. WE ARE THERE" The death lobby and judges are going to take an innocent life, and they've done it before. That's what Hitler did.

NOT IN MY STATE, YOU CARPETBAGGING LUSTERS FOR THE KASH, FOR THE KILL. They have to be cruel to actually entertaining STARVING ANY LIVING CREATURE TO DEATH!

[Ohioan from Florida]

Great idea!

Terri ping to 2149! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!

[floriduh voter]

I believe Joe Lieberman thought Terri should not be force exited. Michael Schiavo has said in the past that this is bigger than Terri and me.

Maybe this is what he meant and maybe it was a freudian slip.

I was on Gephardt's email list and then they abruptly wroteto me YOU ARE OFF OUR EMAIL LIST. Weird, huh?

It was originally McBride's email list and he gave it to Kerry who didn't make good use of it. Anyway, BACK TO TERRI.

FV is memorizing Wayne Galley's tune. "I live, I love, I breathe the air... I feel your touch, I know you're there. Your warm embrace, your breath upon my face, I want you all to know,

I am alive

I am alive." gorgeous song

COURT HEARING IS TOMORROW MONDAY AT 2:30 pm 316 Crt St., Clearwater, FL FOURTH FLOOR.

google for: Florida Baptist Witness. They always have a reporter here on scene and the photojournalist of their's takes pictures in addition to fine reporting. They also draw comparisons between Hitler and what is going on here in Fla.

WHY MINCE WORDS: I think that we are ANTI-MURDER which is stronger than saying pro-life in re: to Terri.

I don't care if Greer ordered this from the bench. It's STILL MURDER. It's a DEATH WARRANT. It is torture worse than making guys wear their underwear on the heads at Abu Ghraib.

Florida, the TORTURE AND DEATH CAPITAL OF THE SOUTH. Who has time to be a tourist when you've got to watch your back from OUR JUDGES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT???

COURT HEARING IS TOMORROW MONDAY

Best wishes and prayers to you and all, fv.

We should do something for the 15th anniversary of day Terri tried to tell Mikey she wanted a divorce! (Feb 25th, 1990)

             

[Theodore R.]

Still, so long as the FL voters continue to ratify these corrupt judges, nothing will ever change. The electorate needs needs education in FL.

[Theodore R.]

Crist is from the Tampa-St. Pete area, and he believes that majority opinion there is strongly against Terri. That's why he will not raise a finger to help.
