*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.
My eyes are crossing too. It has taken me about 45 minutes to go back and read today's postings on this thread before I posted. I worked all day and it was super busy. I got a couple of little posts in but couldn't actually keep up. I was HEART SICK when I read that Greer had handed down that order even tho I EXPECTED as much. I guess my biggest disappointment is in Jeb Bush. He has always been one of my favorite Governors. Through this mess, and especially in the last months, I have lost ALL respect for him. I really believed that he would intervene by use of his Executive Authority. I don't believe for one minute that he thinks starving and dehydrating someone to death is RIGHT. I may send daily emails detailing how corrupt I feel the State is. That it is NOW a State I will NEVER visit again nor would I even recommend it. What a cesspool of corruption, conflicts of interest, dirty Law Enforcement, Dirty Politicians, likely graft and now OPENLY MURDERING an innocent girl and treating her worse than a family pet or a convicted serial killer on death row. My disgust is gutteral!! CO
There are Freepers working on connecting the corruption dots. The federal DoJ may be interested. Take heart, it's not over yet. And some Freepers have some VERY juicy dirt.
I worked with a wonderfully kind man that volunteered for Hospice and have heard many good stories about Hospice.
However, there is just too much wrongdoing in Hospice, too.
Why doesn't someone in the FL Hospice testify what's going on, like not letting Terri have a window, or not gettting her teeth brushed, or getting some fresh air, or getting some therapy, et al?
My sister had a friend, in upstate New York, who in her 40's was dying of cancer. My sister and a group of friends prayed with a priest for this woman.
Right after that the woman improved and asked her mother for a tuna sandwich; her appetite even improved. The woman with cancer was happy again.
Then a woman from Hospice came to the home, and asked the woman's mother to leave the room. The mother did, and when she came back her daughter was depressed again, and soon after that died.
Hospice seems to take away all hope.
Sovereign Lord, we continue to be stunned at the magnitude of evil that surrounds us ... we are stunned at the power afforded one or two or three ... we are stunned at the powerlessness of the most powerful, yet our trust is in You. Thank You that You are working in ways that we do not know and in ways we cannot see ... gather us again to continue to do that which You set before us. Stir Your people to rise up in protest ... to loudly proclaim that this murder will not take place. Work in the hearts and minds of the legislators to fully protect all of the people. May the truth about this wounded woman be fully and fairly presented in the press ... correct their every error ... give us eyes to see and ears to hear and a boldness to hold them to account.
Grant unto the Schindlers the encouragement of their faith ... cover them with Divine Protection and prayer ... let them not become weary but may they boldly continue, even as their beloved daughter continues under the fiercest hardship. Grace the attorneys with passionate truth as they again come before the court ... bring forth that one Judge who will finally rule wisely and well, simply because he has become weary of hearing the unending cries for justice. We desire not to break the law, O God, we desire only justice in the law. We repent of the laws that hinder ... help us, O Lord, to fashion laws that honor. May we be before the Throne of Grace night and day, in sackcloth and ashes, such is our shame.
Rescue this dear child, Merciful Father, that thousands of our vulnerable citizens might be saved. Give us strength to follow through to victory, for we seek to honor and glorify You, the Creator of Life. May those who wish to do harm to this innocent woman be overwhelmed with conviction ... may they repent and claim the Mercy of Christ, such is Your love. In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...
Thank you for that beautiful prayer.
Again, I heard on the radio that Terri is in a "vegetative state" for 15 years.
Can't we get the truth out to more people?
Life Bump
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation;
10 there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
I Felt like I was in the very Portals of Heaven as I Read your Prayer, dear sister in Christ. I'm going to Pray it Out Loud to our Merciful King of kings. How I PRAISE Him for your Spirit-Blessed Ministry of Prayer, sister Pegita!
Maybe sending pics like this to them will help. Terri certainly doesn't resemble a rutabega.
Here in Southern California the news for the most part says she is brain dead. Calls and E-Mails do not straighten them out! I want to knock heads together!

Judge sets date to remove tube
February 26, 2005
http://www.sptimes.com/2005/02/26/Tampabay/Judge_sets_date_to_re.shtml
(Excerpts)
"The waiting is very hard," said Schindler, who with his wife has waged a seven-year battle against their son-in-law over their daughter's fate. "It's hard to explain what it feels like when someone is trying to kill your daughter."
David Gibbs III, a lawyer for the Schindlers, said he will continue the aggressive fight to extend Schiavo's life. Aside from asking appeals courts for stays beyond March 18, the Schindlers can still argue pending motions before Greer in the three weeks left, he said.
Gibbs' first move will be to talk with the judge's office about securing enough court dates to argue a number of motions before the March 18 deadline. He said his priorities include getting Michael Schiavo removed as his wife's guardian and appealing to higher courts some of the legal issues Greer already rejected.
Gibbs said they should also be allowed more time to conduct additional medical tests.
"It would be Hitler-esque, it would be unbelievable, to starve (someone) to death," Gibbs said.
With the legislative session scheduled to begin March 8, some lawmakers think the new date to pull the feeding tube may give the Legislature room to maneuver.
"I'm very hopeful that something can be done," said Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala. "We're planning to do whatever we can."
"By no means do we believe this is over," said Gary Cass, executive director of the Center for Reclaiming America, a group based in Fort Lauderdale. "If they do remove the feeding tube, I believe we're going to see an unprecedented outpouring of support for Terri from the prolife community all over America. Prolife organizations will come to Tallahassee to lobby the Legislature and Gov. Bush to make sure they do everything they can."
Same here.
prayers going up for Terri. May God keep His angels around her, guarding her.
Amen.
I had to run pick up kids so didn't get to see Greta. Did she really pull that stunt? I swear, she can't do anything right. She should go back to reporting court decisions as she hasn't the talent for interviewing and following through on a story.
