Terri Schiavo's Husband Gets FEC Warning Over PAC Filing Problems
LifeNews ^ | 2/28/07 | Steven Ertelt

Coral Gables, FL (LifeNews.com) -- After the euthanasia death of Terri Schiavo, her former husband Michael wanted to exact revenge against the pro-life members of Congress who supported a measure allowing Terri's parents to take their efforts to save her life to federal court.

He formed a PAC to get involved in various political campaigns, but it's running afoul of FEC reporting requirements.

Schiavo was very involved in the 2006 election season.

In Pennsylvania, he attacked pro-life Sen. Rick Santorum -- calling him "the only U.S. senator who flew to Florida and interfered with Terri Schiavo's private family tragedy."

He backed candidates for Congress there and also flew to Colorado and Connecticut to campaign for other candidates and headline fund-raisers on their behalf.

What Schiavo hasn't done is properly log his political activities with the federal government.

Schiavo's political action committee, known as TerriPAC, had to amendment its October 2006 quarterly report twice after the FEC found it did not fully report its fundraising and spending. TerriPAC also amended its November 1 pre-general election report twice as well.

In total, the FEC has sent Schiavo's PAC four letters requesting additional or more accurate information since December 1.

The latest letter says Schiavo can't ask for an extension and mentions a possible audit.

"Adequate responses received [by March 19] will be taken into consideration in determining whether audit action will be initiated," the FEC wrote Michael on February 16. "Requests for extension of time will not be considered."

"Failure to provide an adequate response by this date may result in an audit of the committee," the FEC wrote, adding that "enforcement action" may be taken if Schiavo doesn't respond in time.

While Schiavo has engaged in politics, Terri's parents and family have worked full-time for their foundation which seeks to help disabled patients and their families obtain appropriate health care and treatment.

I read Fuhrman's book too. Was quite good.

Selfishness will lead people to hate and harm others. The one passage from the book that really stays with me
is the purported statement from Michael's late-mother.

Her statement, made to a family friend, predicted that
there would be trouble, because she believed that
Michael would renege on his promise to use the court
awarded settlement to help Terri.

Although Mother Schiavo is not around to affirm or deny
the statement, it's substance ring very true in
accordance with the rest of the case. It cannot be
simply dismissed....JJ61

They couldn't bring the murdering Al Capone to justice- EXCEPT for his income tax evasion conviction. Maybe this will be the only way to exact justice from Mike-the-Murderer Schiavo.

You would think this would be simple to resolve this matter with the FEC. Unless there is something to hide.

This guy is above the law. After all, he committed legalized murder on his wife.

I would love to see Schiavo go to prison for this.

Prison maybe maybe not. But I'm a patient man and will settle for seein him go to hell for his earlier deeds ( unless he repents before the reaper comes ).

Yep, and he consistently didn't file proper paperwork as Terri's guardian....the courts always excused him though.

So would I!!! And to think that Ramos and Compean are cooling their heels in prison after a set up has been proven.

Go figure!

Mike Schiavo's day might yet come. He is too consumed with hate and with hurting other people. Imagine wanting to hide from the parents where he buried Terri. Sociopaths may be clever but they also become reckless. He and Howard Stern sound like soul mates.

"Schiavo" in Latin or Italian means slave. I wonder of whom he is a slave?
