Yes, Atty Gibbs is a cutie. I tried to copy his picture from my email but it didn't work. He's probably on google. A big rainstorm just started.

VIGIL TONIGHT AT HOSPICE WOODSIDE STARTS at 3:00 pm est. Maybe the rain will stop by then.

amdgmary had the picture up right after you posted.

We will be there with you in spirit. I guess we'll have to wait for you report tonight to hear what happens.

If you took a cell phone, you could call it in to someone here, as it is happening. I'm just kidding you. We can wait a little while for your report.

The Advocacy Center Investigation. The Advocacy Center is a seperate agency, distinct from Florida DCF, Department of Children and Families.

Finally somebody posted from a news article about the open investigation of the Advocacy Center. Finally I at least saw the Advocacy Center say something about Terri.

Here is from their e-mail to me on September 24, 2004.
------
Thank you for your thoughtfulness and interest regarding Ms. Schiavo and the complex ethical issues that she represents. It benefits us all for people such as you to enter into the dialogue about disability issues.

Since the initial withdrawal of hydration and nourishment from Terri Schiavo on Wednesday October 15, 2003 The Advocacy Center has received numerous complaints of possible neglect concerning Ms. Schiavo. Additionally we have received reports that there may have been a change in circumstance regarding Ms. Schiavo's condition since the last full review in State Court.

It is The Advocacy Center's federal mandate (pursuant to 29 U.S.C. §794(a) (doc 1) and 42 U.S.C.§1504 3(a)(2)(B) as the designated Protection and Advocacy Agency for the State of Florida to investigate complaints of abuse and/or neglect against persons with disabilities.

The Center is presently making demands in order to acquire reports and records necessary to undertake a thorough and impartial investigation of complaints we have received.

In order to preserve the integrity of our investigation during its pendency no further statement will be made to the public/ Press.

How can the Advocacy Center get away with saying, we were prohibited from investigating because the Guardian would not give us permission? We need to look up those statutes and see what they say. The Advocacy Center's answer to me stinks to high heaven.

I followed up in January 2005 and they wouldn't tell me anything. This outfit is stonewalling, I would bet money on it. Is the attorney for the Advocacy Center friends with Greer, like the former Sherif who refused to investigate, and others. The Advocacy Center has had an open investigation since October of 2003. something is just not right there.
