Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The Federal Election Commission in Washington has fined the political action committee created by Terri Schiavo's former husband. After ordering her painful two-week-long starvation and dehydration death in March 2005, Michael Schiavo created the PAC to target pro-life lawmakers who tried to stop him from killing her.

The TerriPAC Michael created with his brother Brian Schiavo has frequently run afoul of the federal agency by failing to file its campaign finance reports on time or include all of the necessary information.

Because TerriPAC failed to properly file its October 2006 quarterly report properly, the FEC assessed the PAC a $1,350 civil money penalty. FEC records obtained by LifeNews.com find TerriPAC eventually paid the fine.

More from LifeNews on Bobby Schindler...

...................................

Cedar Rapids, IA (LifeNews.com) -- Terri Schiavo's brother Bobby Schindler appeared at a campaign stop over the weekend for Republican presidential candidate Sam Brownback. Schindler said he supports the Kansas senator's presidential bid because he respects the life of both the born and unborn -- something all politicians should embrace.

Schindler had endorsed Brownback previously but promised to campaign for him over the weekend as he emphasized his pro-life views and opposition to human rights abuses.

Terri's brother told the audience that the need for him to campaign with Brownback or support one political candidate when all should embrace life is a problem.

"The tragedy is the fact that I even have to be here tonight to speak to you and even that you know who I am," Schindler said. "It's evidence of what's happening in our culture that our family had to fight so hard just to try to bring Terri home and take care of her."

He said he applauded Brownback for standing against the "quality of life" standard which the medical community has used to devalue the lives of vulnerable patients like Terri who need legal protection and lifesaving medical care. That has led to the targeting of the disabled.

"The laws have been changed to make it easier to kill someone like my sister," Schindler said. "The 'persistent vegetative state' diagnosis was created to make it easier to kill somebody."

"The devaluation of human life leads to many, if not all, of the problems we see in our society today," Schindler added. "If we don't respect life, then how do we respect each other?"

During the event, Brownback talked about the impact Terri's life had on the euthanasia and assisted suicide debates.

"Her life remained sacred to the very end," Brownback said. "Whether it's a child in the womb or it's somebody that has had a very difficult situation ... she nonetheless remains a person and she shouldn't be artificially, or by humans, terminated. Instead, we should protect these lives," he explained.

Michael repeatedly ignored guardianship law requirements, but George Greer always let him get away with it. Finally a government agency has held Michael to account for at least one instance of his lawless behavior.

Of course there is still the mystery assailant who attacked his wife in 1990. Michael, the only other person present, was never seriously questioned about that so we don't know who injured Terri.

Mikey’s PAC targeting republicans, part of the ruse. Republicans killed her and the dems went along for the sordid ride. I suppose the USAG claim filed by the New York schoolteacher has been put on the USAG’s back burner. Remember the teacher filed a civil rights claim on behalf of Terri? They gave it a claim number and then what?
