Terri Schiavo's Family Launches New Radio Program on Protecting the Disabled
Life News ^ | 3/6/08 | Steven Ertelt

Posted on 03/06/2008 4:34:20 PM PST by wagglebee

Tampa, FL (LifeNews.com) -- The foundation that Terri Schiavo's family created after her death is continuing its efforts to help the elderly and disabled obtain appropriate medical care. The foundation is launching a new radio program on a Tampa station that will be simulcast on the Internet and later expanded to other Florida stations.

The Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation will start the new America's Lifeline program this weekend life from the Tampa studios of Talk Radio 860 WGUL, a Christian station.

Prominent radio health care advocate Cary Hall will co-sponsor the program along with Terri's brother Bobby Schinder and her sister Suzanne Vitadamo, the foundation's directors.

Hall is also the host of a successful radio show called The Health Insurance Advocate which broadcasts from two Midwest stations.

"America's Lifeline is something we've wanted to do for some time," Vitadamo told LifeNews.com on Thursday.

"With Cary Hall's health care expertise my family's experience trying to save Terri, and now running her foundation which works to save those like Terri, we'll be able to educate Americans and raise awareness about the euthanasia movement like never before," she added.

Vitadamo said the program would focus on controversial cases of people who have been subjected to potential euthanasia or denial of lifesaving medical treatment, such as Lauren Richardson in Delaware.

It will help people learn about the best advanced directives for treatment, learn about the dangers of assisted suicide, focus on state and federal laws and explain how hospice care can be helpful.

The program will also delve into the controversial futile care theory whereby hospitals and doctors are more routinely giving up on providing care for patients they consider "too far gone."

The America's Lifeline debut is set for 3 PM EST on Saturday, March 15, 2008 and it will also be streamed worldwide via the Internet at http://860wgul.townhall.com.

The program is poised to expand into other Florida radio markets including Orlando and Miami.

FYI: The lady who was killed by a sting ray was hospice volunteer (wonder which one).

Further, Fox news crawler reports that organ donor organizations are "getting more aggressive" because the waiting lists are getting longer. Sure, that's it...

Three years ago tomorrow, I had chicken noodle soup for Easter, stayed outside by Hostage Woodside all day long into the evening and then quickly packed to go to Orlando to meet with Legislator DAVID SIMMONS. When we got there the day after Easter, he told me "TERRI WOULD BE A MARTYR." This was even before Judge Whittemore was done defying Congress. I believe a and before Jesse Jackson met w/Jebediah for a little presser on CNN where Jesse proclaimed, "TERRI'S DEATH WILL SAVE MILLIONS OF LIVES." CNN Wednesday after Easter.

Well, then why was she being EXECUTED????? Save her too, fools.

What does it say about a society which if you take Jesse at his word makes human sacrifices for the public good??? It's no different than throwing a young maiden into a volcano to appease the gods to prevent volcanic eruptions.

Sure killing Terri appeased SENATOR JIM KING (R), Hospice Hall of Famer, who wrote a law last year to be buried with his dog! POOR MUTT!

We are on the right track. Trolls and trolls lite are fools. Fools rush in. lol

CRIST HIRED NANCY A. but Evelyn Lynn is in hot water right now... appearance of abuse of power and triple dipping. See how what goes around comes around? If this tweren't Floriduh, she'd resign or be impeached. They'll probably give her the best GOP lawyers money can buy.

He is risen.

Today is the joyful celebration of the Resurrection for us Catholics and Christians as we celebrate Easter. Three years ago today Easter had not yet come and the mood was tense at Pinellas Park.

Excerpted from The Christian Science Monitor March 23, 2005....

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

Boiled down to its essence, the ongoing legal dispute over a severely brain-damaged Florida woman might well have been filed in court under the label Theresa Marie Schiavo v. Theresa Marie Schiavo.

Both sides in the life-or-death drama unfolding in a Pinellas Park, Fla., hospice and federal courtrooms are claiming to be acting in what they believe to be Terri Schiavo's best interests.

Yet only one of those parties can be right. The other, while acting with the best intentions, is misrepresenting Ms. Schiavo.

It is this aspect of attempting to know the unknowable - what Schiavo herself would want in this instance - that has perplexed much of the nation in water-cooler debates and kitchen-table discussions.

The debate is more than simply right-to-life versus right-to-die. Legal analysts say Schiavo's struggle is playing out along the same cultural and ideological fault lines that split the nation over abortion, stem-cell research, and evolution....................

Who speaks for Terri Schiavo?

Oh no! Not Goodenough again...

This is excerpted from Abby Goodenough and Liptak in the NYET three years ago today.

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

Judge Greer did not rule on the state's request immediately, but he granted a request from Ms. Schiavo's husband, Michael, to bar the state's Department of Children and Families from taking custody of her, from removing her from the hospice where she has gone six days without her feeding tube and from providing her with nutrition or hydration.

George Felos, the lawyer for Michael Schiavo, who had sought to end life support for his brain-damaged wife, said he had heard "credible" rumors that state officials planned to send doctors to the hospice to give Ms. Schiavo intravenous fluids.

Judge Greer also directed state sheriffs to take whatever actions were necessary to enforce the order, which came toward the end of another breathlessly paced day in the case.....................

A message from the Pope in this thread by wagglebee...

Benedict sets the stage for his presentation by reminding us that death is not an end, “but indeed a new birth and a renewed existence offered by the Risen One.”

Benedict then states: “The Lord of life is present beside the Sick person as the One who lives and gives life, the One who said: 'I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly' (John 10: 10) 'I am the Resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live' (John 11: 25), and 'I will raise him up on the last day' (John 6: 54)”.............

Somehow I am not surprised. An abortionist gets a chance to affect the kids he missed on the operating table. Thread by wagglebee.

CHICAGO, March 20, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A convicted felon and abortionist responsible for the deaths of at least two women has been hired at a Chicago public school as the new principal. A spokesman from Mildred I. Lavizzo School in the greater Roseland area told a pro-life advocate that the Lavizzo school council were apprised of the full background of their new principal, Dr. Arnold Bickham.

Jill Stanek, a Chicago area pro-life activist and nurse posted a letter on her website from an 8th grader at the school, who said that students and teachers "aren't comfortable with being around him and we want help. If he has this kind of back ground (sic) he shouldn't be able to work in this type of organization because you'll never know what he will try to do.".............

He is risen. Satan couldn't help himself and brought the Resurrection to fruition. Satan was defeated even as he danced in victory. On this thread by wagglebee, likewise in this Holy time for Christians, the bot flies buzz with glee.

Blessed day to all on this Easter Sunday.

PATIENTS are being given the opportunity to decide whether they want to die under a program being rolled out through Victorian hospitals.

The Respecting Patients' Choices program allows patients in the early stages of chronic or terminal illness to make a formal written statement declaring their desire to refuse life-saving treatment in hospitals..............

A remembrance this Easter...

Thanks, Les.

MY TWO TERRI S

Written on my flight home from Florida
the day after Terri Schindler Schiavo's death
from state sponsored starvation/dehydration:

Terri, meet Terri. You don’t know one another but we all have something
in common. I have had the pleasure to have been involved in heroic efforts
to save you both from the Euthanasia movement’s diabolic plans to steal your lives.

Uncanny isn’t it?

Theresa Corrao and I crossed paths in 1996. My husband and I were just about
to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. One fateful day, I heard a pathologist
named Paul Corrao on television stating that his sister Theresa was in a hospice
and was being severely overmedicated. He was trying to rescue her from the facility
and save her life. He mentioned one Susan Fox Buchanan – a Denver elder care “expert.”

Having sat in on numerous Governor’s Commission on Life and the Law meetings
in the late 1980s and early 1990s, that name jumped out at me as one heavily invested
in the pro-death ethic that so permeated the beautiful state of Colorado in those years.

I contacted Paul Corrao and warned him that there was an insidious plan afoot in my
state that he should be aware of. From that point forward Paul and I worked together
to save Theresa from those who sought to destroy her. After all, Theresa had signed
an advanced directive waiving extraordinary care hadn’t she?

Paul and I persuaded Theresa that life was worth living and that she actually might
like to sign a will to live. Unfortunately, Theresa Corrao had a severe bedsore that
needed surgical repair. Ironically, she worked for the hospital where the surgery
would take place and she had insurance to cover it with her employer, Columbia HCA.

During the planning stages for the surgery, Paul, insisted that the surgery be performed
under a local anesthesia. As a pathologist, he believed that his sister’s liver was
quite compromised by her treatment for breast cancer as well as the extremely high
amounts of morphine used in hospice prior to her leaving the facility. As Paul left
the hospital the evening before the surgery, doctors approached Terri and persuaded her
to agree to a general anesthetic, possibly stating that they wouldn’t we able to manage
her pain with a local.

Theresa underwent approximately 5 hours of surgery that fateful day. As I entered her room post surgery to confer with Paul, death was in the air. As he had feared, her liver
was unable to process the anesthesia from such a lengthy procedure. Theresa Corrao died
shortly thereafter, destroyed by the pro-death movement in Colorado – progenitor of the
euthanasia movement, nationally.

Terri Schiavo’s loved ones were holding a 24hour prayer vigil for her in front of her
Pinellas Park, FL hospice. This event was to thrust her into the international spotlight,
where she would remain, for the next 18 months. During that period, I would travel
to Florida five times to work, tirelessly, to save Terri’s life. I had the honor and
pleasure to work alongside hundreds, if not thousands of individuals dedicated to
helping Terri’s parents and siblings spare her life.

This incredible woman inspired us all to work to protect her from the insidious conspiracy by the so called “right to die” forces which found themselves in the perfect storm of circumstances arrayed to deliver Terri to their dark plot.

Former husband, Michael Schiavo, was able to persuade nearly every level of government, judiciary and media that she wouldn’t want to live as a disabled
person. Despite heroic efforts and prayers by pro-lifers and disability activists
in the US, it apparently wasn’t meant to be.

As a member of a team of lobbyists working to pass the “Jessie Jackson sip of water compromise” I am pleased to say that we never gave up as long as Terri held on for
nearly 14 days without food or water – while not even an ice chip was allowed to quench her insatiable thirst.

Terri either passed or was pushed into eternity on March 31, 2005 at the end of Holy
Week. She and her family taught us a lot about love, perseverance and dedication to family.

Her president and governor taught us they knew little to nothing about the constitution
which guaranteed Terri due process of law and religious liberty as well as freedom from cruel and unusual punishment.

As our nation this week mourns the passing of Pope John Paul and tries to make
sense of Terri’s senseless death and the Florida corruption which ensured it, I ponder
the irony of losing 2 friends named Terri to a death machine that has its origin in
my beautiful state, Colorado. Like the hospice grounds where Terri was held hostage
for the past five years, what looks beautiful to the undiscerning eye, often has below the
surface – deadly evil.

REMEMBERING TERRI THIS HOLY WEEKEND!
We will never forget!

Actually, ONLY ONE SIDE had good intentions, Mikey's intention was to kill the woman he abandoned for reasons we may never know.

Did you see the sign, "I can't go to Washington. I am being murdered"

Certainly, the person with that sign has not forgotten what they did to Terri. Neither has anyone else in that photo who took the time to visit JEBEDIAH, the weak brother.

TERRI SCHIAVO was made indigent even though she wasn't so they could start isolating her early on before they actually pulled off the crime of the century. She was really indigent but suddenly, she was penniless. She was made poor so they could control her through the mismanaged medicaid system.
