I was wondering about that myself. Ensure is good too.
I think the answer to the question proves this is murder/euthanasia. I am astonished at the cold-heartedness of my fellow citizens with regard to this issue.
The poor woman has gone 30 days without food, and they call it a compassionate act? Hitler couldn't have designed a better system to get rid of the elderly, infirm, and disabled. I see the death freaks weren't kidding when they said "it happens everyday, all across our nation." It's just sick and sad and it won't lead to anything good.
I predict, if we keep going down this path, that eventually, this euthanasia mindset will remove all incentive for trying to make any medical advances. What will be the point? They are already killing disabled infants in Holland.
A great darkness is on the horizon- Why can't people see it?
We need to contact our reps and ask them to enact some kind of bill to stop this evil from happening for once and for all.
Thanks Yellow.
FV,
I pinged a bunch of the people from Mae Magouirk's thread.

FR_addict did the validation and verification.
S/he wrote in his/her post # 47 :
I found out more about this case.
I reached the reporter on this story.
Jorge Mederos
He sounded very sincere and wants to see something done.
He visited the home yesterday.
Terri Schiavo’s case in Chicago
http://www.laraza.com/news.php?nid=21715
He said to use his cell phone# 773-617-4712
He also gave me the Pastor's number
Pastor Espinoza 708-423-5096
I just called the pastor. Very nice man. They are planning a service in front of the home on Sunday. He told me it was okay to include his phone number for more information on the service.
The service is at 3pm, Sunday in front of the home at
3939 W. 59th Place
Chicago, IL
Please help spread this story. Perhaps any Chicago Freepers could go to the service.
That is the verification I needed to take action. I do believe as you do and especially how well russesjunjee stated it for us, I cna't remember the Post #.
My bottom line is always Food and Hydration must be given to everyone unless the person has a document that is signed that says their wishes are to NOT receive food and water.
While I was sleeping many of you already swung into action, to those who id, YOU did the right thing, once we had verification from FR_addict, it is the right thing to do.
After this post I will throw out some specific action items in seperate posts and see who will step up and do at least one thing to help Mrs. Martinez.
Let's Roll!
Terri we have not forgotten you.
FR-addict,
Would you volunteer to be the FR contact with the family? You have already made the first calls, in this way we will not overwhelm them with all of us calling. I know eeevil conservative will say it was a lot of work, and it will be a big job, IF you agree to be "our" contact with the family. Not everyone has the time to do this so if you can't no one would think poorly of you becasue it will be time consuming.
Who will find out the correct entity in Chicago to file an Abuse Complaint for:
Clara Martinez, 39 years old and mother of two children aged five and seven years?
After finding out the entity would you please file a complaint?
Who will volunteer to do this?
Who will ping Illinois and Chicago Freepers and ask them to come to this thread? We will need their local expertice.
For example we need to find out the biggest and best talk radio shows in Chicago so that we can all e-mail and call them to have them pick up the story. There must be Talk Radio with wider audiences we need to find out who that is.
I can think of 1 Chicago Talk Radio station WGN. However we need the names of the different shows and the hosts of the shows. Phone numbers nad e-mails.
Hopefully Chicago Freepers an ehlp us with that information.
Who will contact Chicago area Freepers, who will volunteer, to do this 1 thing?
All,
Who will find out the contact information for the Alderman for Clara Martinez, make a phone call and and e-mail contact and then post the information for the rest of us?
Remember FR-Adict HAS verified that Clara Martinez is a Terri Schindler Starfish. Mrs. Mae Magouirk was the first Terri Schindler Starfish, now comes Clara marrtinez.
Who will volunteer to do this 1 action item?
My sympathy to the anguished family.
An important question is this: who is offering to take care of her and cover the expenses? If not, are the FReepers here willing to do it? What about the Minute Men? Would the Minute Men be willing to cover the expense? I personally cannot afford to help financially. I'm behind in my own medical bills.
I'll help as soon as that is resolved. So long as it isn't tax funded. Obviously, the husband is unwilling to cover the cost.
Sad FReegards....
bump!
agreed. What good is the ADA giving access to everywhere if the person can be held captive and starved by family members?
BTW, is Clara's mother willing to take custody of her? Perhaps the husband beleives he can't get a divorce in the Catholic Church, but that this is will leave him free. The article didn't mention his religion.
Maybe she's covered by insurance? Is there any policy that would cover the cost if she's fed?
It was working fabulously for them until Terri came along and woke about five million of us up."
Excellent post!
Great! Hopefully, one of them will pick up on the story.
"WorldNetDaily put the link up on their website.
http://www.laraza.com/news.php?nid=21715
Maybe later they will write their own story"
Good. That will help give the story a lot of exposure. Hopefully, they do write their own story. It will help answer everyone's questions about the case.
"We need to contact our reps and ask them to enact some kind of bill to stop this evil from happening for once and for all."
I started this petition to ask for protection of the disabled.
Protection for the Disabled - For Terri
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1374842/posts
I heard that some people thought the bill wasn't strong enough, but it may be all we can get for now. Please read the bill. If you want to sign, but don't think this bill is strong enough, please put it in the comment section.
I agree that we need something stronger. We need to talk to constitutional attorneys and see what can be done to add more protection for the disabled in a bill.
All your questions are good.
Finding the answers would make a great story, if someone would just follow through. Jorge Mederos, the reporter for the LaRaza, said he would be doing a follow-up story, but I know he wants the mainstream media to pick the story up.
