TERRI SCHINDLER SCHIAVO CALLING ALL FREEPERS Pt2 Disabled FL woman given Death Sentence by FL Courts

[Theodore R.]

We are just so despondent and don't know what to do to save this disabled person. And I wasn't particularly supportive of the Americans with Disabilities Act when the first President Bush signed it into law in 1990, the year Terri collapsed. Evidently, this law has no real teeth and was a "feel-good" PR type of legislation. Even the president's son Jeb (nor G.W. Bush for that matter)ever mentions it in regard to Terri or in any other context.

"Why can't he get a divorce but give up custody to her parents, who obviously want to see her live?"

He doesn't want to divorce her. He would be liable for splitting up whatever "assets" that were there during the marriage, including any he has gained while Terri has been incapacitated. Then there's the alimony he'd have to pay, too. All that, plus Terri would continue to live! If she ever gets any better, she might be able to tell what really happened that night she collapsed. He also had a terrible falling out with Terri's family after they found out what kind of son-in-law he really was. He doesn't want them to get any satisfaction from knowing that justice was served for Terri. No, he'd rather condemn her to a death by dehydration and starvation than have ANY of these alternatives!

To add further insult to injury, he already has another "wife" with whom he has fathered two children, one already here and the other on the way. This would totally put him in a financial bind, I'm sure. Paying the consequences for poor choices just isn't up his alley. Lovely, thoughtful guy, isn't he? Should be nominated for "Husband of the Year" (sarcasm)!

[Theodore R.]

Isn't it ironic that it was the Schindlers who brought Michael Schiavo to FL with them!

[Ohioan from Florida]

We are all hoping that the more attention we can bring to Terri's unjust situation, the louder we will get, the better we can make our world. Terri's life is on the line, but if you read further about this on the monster thread, you will soon realize that there are a thousand more Terri's out there. There is a strong euthanasia movement that has been working toward this end for many years and most of us are just now waking up to this fact. If we can help in some way for Terri to win any of these court battles, it will be legal precedent that might help any one of us in the future. The way I and many others see it, any of us are only a car (or other) accident away from being in Terri's situation.

BTW, for any and all newcomers to Terri's fight, we appreciate your support. Phenn, one of the FR posters on this thread, is actually one of the people who works at terrisfight.org. She is very knowledgeable about Terri's current situation, so she is an excellent resource. We appreciate her coming on to FR and posting her thoughts for us.

Prayers for Terri!

Ironic and sad! It must continually stab them in the heart knowing that they allowed their precious daughter to marry this monster! Jodi Centonze's family would do well to warn their daughter about this man, too.

Hello everyone.

I just learned of Terri's case about two weeks ago while listening to the Glenn Beck radio program. I was shocked and appalled to learn of the heinous and criminal things that are happening to Terri Schindler Schiavo and her family.

I want to know if a benefit concert has been discussed for Terri? We would need a BIG, BIG name, like a Michael W. Smith or an Amy Grant to get on board and passionately fight for this cause. I am willing to put up a significant contribution for this cause.

Who is in charge of rallies for Terri in the St. Petersburg, Florida area?

To save Terri's life WE MUST GET THE EYES OF OUR NATION ON ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA, ASAP! This may be long shot, especially at this late stage in the game, but we must pull out all of the stops in order to help save her!

I live in Savannah, Georgia and I am literally telling EVERYONE I know about this case. I am making 1000 copies of the fliers from Terri's web site and will distribute them over the next two weeks. I am meeting with and calling pastors, priests, church leaders, businessmen, organizations, radio stations, famous celebrites, athletes, news journalists, basically, everyone. I am sending emails, faxes, making phone calls, and writing hand written notes to some of them.

Every person who's name is on Terri's flier must be flooded with phone calls, faxes, and emails from now at least until October 15, 2003.

I am from Georgia, a border state of Florida, and few people that I talk to are actually familiar with Terri's case and are hearing the details of this case for the first time from me. I have spoken to the offices of two US Congressional Representatives here in my hometown and both secretaries I spoke with were not familiar with this case and assured me they would promptly notify the congressmen.

Please, someone let me know when the rallies for Terri will begin. I am going to be there and hope to bring several friends with me.

The clock is ticking for Terri and for all of us who must help her. My email address is MisterJDC@aol.com. Please contact me if there is anything you wish to let me know.

GET THE WORD OUT! TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS CAUSE! TAKE THIS PERSONALLY! THIS IS NO TIME TO BE PASSIVE!

God Bless Terri! God Bless the Schindler family. God Bless everyone involved in the fight to save Terri's life!

God Bless America!

I'm not sure of who is in charge of rallies as I didn't know if there had ever been a rally for Terri. Perhaps Phenn can answer to this. It sounds like a good idea to me.

You feel this way HERE, but what about what you posted on the big Terri thread, started by Ragtime Cowgirl?

To: Ragtime Cowgirl

Stop your hate filled action immediately and remember you are a mortal yourself and think how you would feel if the situation was reversed! You won't live forever yourself and you also don't know in what condition you may end up in!

Thank you all for your kind postings. If you'd like on my Terri ping list, please Freepmail me and join my list that's over 5 lines long and growing!

FReepers are the best!

[pc93]

I added more than just one topic when I started this pt 2 thread yet it only says Activism/Chapters;US:Florida, I clicked to add a topic but it wants me to type something. What can I do? I also typed more than a few keyboards and the ones that were more than one word were put together. I would like for some more topics to add as I was of the opinion that Terri's fight would include all the states and even other parts of the world, etc. and covered other topics besides activism. Please help me with topics and keywords.

[pc93]

keyboards = keywords. ;=]

[Ohioan from Florida]

Thank you for coming on board! Your ideas are great! I will do what I can to pass them along. Pam Hennessey (sp?) is the contact person at terrisfight.org to ask about rallies in the St.Pete area. I'm sure she has more info on that. Great job doing what you are doing! Keep it up! We must keep the pressure on!

[Theodore R.]

they allowed their precious daughter to marry this monster!

No, these young women today make up their own minds about husbands. The advice of parents is not sought nor considered by many of them. Apparently, the Schindler had no early objections to Schiavo, as they signed over for him to be guardian. Yet, I don't know if they had much alternative to signing those papers back in 1990 or 1991. The signing may have been a mere formality and an attempt by the poor Schindlers to get along with him.

[kimmie7]

pc93 started another thread. Here it is.

[Theodore R.]

The Schindlers were sheep being led to the slaughter. They had no idea that their troubles were only beginning when Terri collapsed in 1990. I honestly do not see how this family has persevered through so much for so long with so few able to help them. They have devoted much time visiting Terri in the nursing home and hospice, and yet they can't lift a spoon to her lips. They have the indignity of being searched before entering the room. Terri takes up all of their time, and there is no rest for the weary. They must have supernatural help to persevere.

[Theodore R.]

Very often young women will chose "monsters" thinking that they can "reform" them only to find that the monster rears his head to devour the young women. It's a tragedy that so many young women today cannot find or select suitable husbands.

[Theodore R.]

And there are also young men who cannot find suitable wives because many of the women are looking for the wrong values in a husband. With the possibility of divorce seemingly nearly always present in new marriages, both sexes seem to be making a lot of mistakes in selecting mates.

Let's say we can agree that the Schiavos were not a match made in heaven even if the early years went well. This was a marriage headed to tragic consequences, and perhaps no one foresaw this early on.

[GWB and GOP Man]

I am referring to Michael Schiavo as a sadistic monster. He is cut from the same cloth as Scott "George Tiller" Peterson who is awaiting trial for the murder of his wife Laci and unborn son, Conner.

Where is the National Organization for Women?

Why won't they defend a defenseless woman against brutal barbaric bastards, like Michael Schiavo, Judge George Greer, George Felos, and Michael's hand picked physician to assess Terri's condition?

Did anyone hear Glenn Beck talk about this case on his radio program about two weeks ago? He gave a rivetting and emotional account of the case.

I presently have an active thread on the SavannahNOW forum here in town, pleading for everyone's help. I am on the Ann Coulter forum and will start a thread there as well. Does the Tampa/St. Pete news have an online forum? Are there any other forums that we need to join in order to post threads about Terri?

We must get things planned for an organized rally and/or concert IMMEDIATELY because October 15 will be here in a flash.

Please email me with those key names and contact numbers. It is important that we coordinate our efforts so that we maximize the little amount of time that we have to save Terri.

[Theodore R.]

National Organization for Women?

Could it be that NOW, ACLU, and the Hemlock Society are a triumvirate of the liberal establishment?

[Theodore R.]

I have not seen M. Schiavo in a TV appearance, but I understand that he makes appearances for the euthanasia movement. He claims that he is carrying out Terri's wishes to "die with dignity." I bet he would change his mind if it were he who were disabled. Ditto for George W. Greer and George J. Felos.
