*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 would LOVE to see that split screen, but don't have cable. Does anyone have a link to that show?

This is an article by Father Pavone who visited Terri, and he said he saw her attempt to kiss her parents. Pretty cognitive of her, huh?
Schiavo case hinges on appeals court action to be seen Tuesday
VICKIE CHACHERE
Associated Press
CLEARWATER, Fla. - The dramatic legal battle over the life of a severely disabled woman hinges Tuesday on what, if any, instructions a Florida appeals court gives on when her feeding tube can be removed and her death can begin.
The attorney representing Terri Schiavo's husband Michael said Monday her husband will act as soon as legally permissible in having physicians remove the feeding tube that has kept her alive for 15 years.
But whether that means Michael Schiavo will start the process Tuesday depends on how the 2nd District Court of Appeals issues its final word on a legal filing from her parents which has blocked Michael Schiavo from acting earlier. The court could simply allow earlier rulings allowing Michael Schiavo to act despite his wife's family legal protests, or could instruct a lower court judge how to proceed in the legally volatile case.
Asked Monday if Michael Schiavo intended to order doctors to remove the tube Tuesday, Felos said: "I have no idea. My client is taking this case one day at a time."
Michael Schiavo has spent more than seven years battling his in-laws to win court approval to remove the feeding tube which keeps Terri Schiavo alive. Doctors have ruled Terri Schiavo is in a persistent vegetative state with no hope for recovery; her husband said she never wanted to be kept alive artificially.
Her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, have their own doctors who believe Terri Schiavo has some level of mental functioning and is not vegetative. The Schindlers have fought their son-in-law in a case which has drawn international attention, saying their son-in-law once had a financial motive to do away with his disabled wife.
Terri Schiavo left no written will when she collapsed at the age of 26 from what doctors said was a chemical imbalance that stopped her heart. She still breathes on her own, but relies on the tube for food and water.
"We don't need to rush to Terri's death," said the parents' attorney, David Gibbs. "I don't know why Mr. Felos and the guardian (Michael Schiavo) are so bent on just killing her. It's kind of barbaric."
Appearing at an afternoon news conference, Bob Schindler said his family can do nothing more than also take the case "day to day" and "pray for a miracle."
Terri Schiavo has twice had her tube removed only to have it reinserted in dramatic, last-minute developments.
In October 2003, she went without food or water for six days before Gov. Jeb Bush pushed through a new law letting him order the tube be reinserted. The Florida Supreme Court later struck down his action as unconstitutional.
The anticipated action from both the appeals court and Michael Schiavo prompted attorneys for the Schindlers to ask Circuit Court Judge George Greer of Clearwater for an emergency stay to prevent Michael Schiavo from acting before a hearing Wednesday on pending legal issues.
Gibbs said Greer said he would wait until the 2nd District Court of Appeal in Lakeland acts before deciding whether to issue a stay.
Late last year, Greer issued an indefinite stay blocking the tube's removal pending the Schindlers appeals. But those appeals are over as of 1 p.m. Tuesday, and Felos said he believes Michael Schiavo has the authority to act as of then.
Felos would not describe what preparations may have been made in anticipation of Tuesday's critical developments. He said that Michael Schiavo is legally obligated under the appeals' courts previous rulings to have the tube removed now that all legal barriers have been removed.
But Gibbs said there are still issues to be litigated and he wants to ask Greer to again delay the tube's removal under those matters are resolved. Chief among them is a motion to remove Michael Schiavo as his wife's guardian, with the Schindlers contending he has denied his wife therapy and had both financial and personal motives to end his wife's life.
Michael Schiavo has since started a new family with another woman. At one point, he also stood to inherit hundreds of thousands of dollars from Terri Schiavo's medical trust fund, but that money has now largely been spent on attorneys fees related to the battle over her life.
Gibbs said if Greer denies the request for an emergency stay he will seek one from the U.S. Supreme Court.

I'm a little confused by your post. Are you saying that Terri's parents' attorney Gibbs is on Greta's show "On The Record" tonight? Sorry, I'm trying to do ten different things at once. I'll try to ping the FoxFans before 10pm ET if I can...
Thank you Lord.
Today, Judge Greer issued an order stating that the 2nd District Court of Appeal's mandate does not automatically authorize Michael Schiavo to discontinue Terri's feeding tube without further authorization from the Court.
The order further states that Michael Schiavo is stayed from removing Terri's feeding tube until after the hearing set for Wednesday, Feb 23, 2005.
Today, George Felos faxed a letter to Judge Greer stating that Greer no longer has jurisdiction to issue further stays and that Schiavo will proceed the remove the feeding tube on Feb 22 at 1:00 pm. Felos indicated that he will authorize hospice to remove her feeding tube tomorrow despite Greer's order.
Greer's order is the 3rd document on the following PDF file

Wow, can an attorney do this? The judge ordered a stay and now he is saying they will kill her anyway?
Nice article by Scoop!
Terri ping! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!
I hate activist judges.
This is insane! Now the attorney is telling the judge what to do?? Does he have something on the judge? Someone said earlier, could it be possible they are hanging themselves? This is turning into a circus, horribly tragic if it occurs, but it should serve notice that things are horribly out of control in this country.
bump
'Felos indicated that he will authorize hospice to remove her feeding tube tomorrow despite Greer's order.'
And if they comply.....shut 'em down for taking it upon themselves to murder, with no court order even! I wonder if they ever paid back the $15 million they owe the government. Is this how they expect to pay it back? On the backs of all the aged and disabled they can gather up in the state of Florida? Could save the failing social security scam a ton of money.
Very wierd things.
Terri ping to 2385! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!
I don't know. The Empire Journal is saying that Greer set some hearing for the exact time as the feeding tube pulling.
Not a coincidence, right?
greta just did teaser for terri -- do we want a separate thread for that?
mistated that terri is in pvs -- while showing the video that shows she is not.
God may be working in the most unusual of ways. Keep praying!
Oh, God. When did Bob Marshall say that?
Unless something has changed the needle isn't use here but the electric chair is.
You know I am with you in prayer.
