Happen to have a list of all of you and thought we should all ahve a look at this.
Immediatly I am thinking that someone should file a complaint with whatever organization it is in Chicago for abouse against disabled people. At least get some one with authority to look at this.
Next suppose we need to do some quick research on Illinois law.
Terri we have not forgotten you.
Who will volunteer to call the Priest?
It worked real well lst time when we had one person be the contact person with the family.
Who is up for this one to check out the story?
Need to call priest and mother. Probably should speak Spanish if calling mother.
Also until we can get a handle on this let's try and take the higher path and NOT bring in any ethnic comments, okay?
May I recommend caution? The comparison between Clara Martinez and Terri Schiavo in the article posted is somewhat shallow IMO.
Terri was denied therapy, denied stimulation, denied basic medical care in a hospice.
Terri's parents wanted to take her home and care for her.
Clara Martinez spent the majority of time since her heart attack in a medical facility where therapy would be have been part of her treatment, then was cared for at home.
Terri we have not forgotten you.
I'm touched by the warmth and strength of your statement.
Thanks.
Please add me to your ping list. Thanks!
"Even the President of the US, George W. Bush, took part in the dispute, taking the side of the conservative and religious groups opposed to euthanasia." I really get tired of this purposeful lying by journalism ... the case in Florida was unConstitutional in that a judge ordered Terri's execution without the authority to do that and Federal jurisdiction to review was in question (habeas corpus) so the Congress issued a bill that settled the habeas and granted review jurisdiction for a de novo hearing, and the President signed that bill because it was the right thing to do to bring Justice into line with caselaw, not to 'side with religious conservatives'. Our nation is in a Constitutional crisis because of a judiciary that feels it is an oligarchy and wantonly disregards the humane side of Justice, mercy, in favor of protecting process that effectively grants the judiciary an untouchable ruler status.
Since the story apparently checks out, I'll post the talk show list in a minute. I've got the usual suspects queued up to be faxed again, as soon as more details become available. That's what I'll be mostly doing this time.
I'm going to FReepmail several who I seem to remember being able to speak Spanish, in case they're needed.
Thanks for sending the alert.
