It's a calling of the spirit, the Holy Spirit.

Wow. How has this changed your life?

Are you organizing or petitioning or doing anything to change the circumstances that allowed to Terri's death?

I most certainly did and still am.

What are you doing?

Why are you so bugged by the support for Terri shown here? I don't understand.

Letters, emails, phone calls, donations, talking to anyone who will listen and praying, to name a few.

We are incredibly moved that so many of you have requested to be updated and desire to be involved in our continuing efforts at the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation. Given your continued support, we wanted to take this opportunity to share with you our current focus and activities.
There are necessary actions as an organization that we must take to ensure that we are able to serve others in a meaningful and effective way.

Organizing and putting into place the necessary people, resources, and proper not-for-profit IRS designation to enable the Foundation's good work is critical. The Foundation will continue to engage volunteers and operate with the focus of our existence to serve others. Creating a solid and accountable Foundation, guided by our future focus, is an important first step to enable successful contributions be made to those we serve.

Moving forward, our goals, strategies, and objectives will be further defined as we continue to fight for the lives of our most vulnerable citizens. We are clear that our focus now and during the very near future is to help others avoid future tragedies that reflect what Terri endured. Therefore, we have set a course to address:

Education on state laws that allow terminal dehydration and starvation deaths;
Education on how to protect ourselves and loved ones against medical neglect and medical futility policies;
Encouragement of lawmakers, in all states, to reexamine laws that allow terminal dehydration and starvation deaths;
Lobbying for changes in current "death with dignity" laws so that disabled and vulnerable individuals are not targeted for death based on disability;
Lobbying for changes in current guardianship laws so that incapacitated individuals are not deprived of due process or retained rights at the whim of a guardian or probate court;
Creation of a support network for families dealing with brain injury patients to provide education on providing care and protecting their loved ones.
With your help, all of these goals are within our collective reach. Our Foundation does not seek to limit an individual's ability to make their own medical decisions. Our goal is to enable the respectful treatment of incapacitated individuals through cultural awareness and laws that ensure the rights of vulnerable citizens across our nation are preserved.

Please be certain to check back soon for information and details of how you can help and how your can take steps to protect yourself and your family.

If you would like to be updated via email, please contact us here. Note: Your email address will not be shared with any third party.

Thank you for all your past, current and future support.

Please ping the Terri list to post 150 -- I think most people may not have seen the latest on the action suggestions on the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation website.

I didn't realize a dead person could still smile at her mother.

A person in PVS does all kinds of grotesque involuntary movements that can be misinterpreted by grieving families as a "smile" or trying to speak.

Why are you on this thread - you have no interest in Terri or this case.

I have a professional interest in the rule of law.

Sure. Everybody loves the idea of having their mouth, tongue and insides mummmified from lack of water. I'm sure that's just what she's glad he did to her. Wouldn't you? Wouldn't anyone? </sarcasm>

Peddle your rule of law where death mongers and murderers will appreciate it. You'd have supported the rule of law that made Black people sit at the back of the bus and drink out of different water fountains from white people, too, I'm sure. Just following orders, sir, just following orders.

So murder is just fine in your book as long as it follows the rule of law.

Well - so do we - especially when the law is set up to kill some of us.

Where does this leave the thousands of civilized people who are now in shock, remembering the agonizing expressions on Mary's face as she pleaded for someone, anyone, to help rescue her daughter?

I will never forget.
