Oops... sorry about the triple posting!! It wasn't intentional!!

[Calpernia]

Victoria has at least one of these articles. I marked it but didn't organize it yet.

Victoria, can you find this easily?

Between now and Larry King, much prayer that the Lord binds Michael's tongue and that what comes forth will be such nonsense and totally unbelievable.


Maybe Michael will hang himself with his own words like Scott Peterson did !!

"It's definitely a PR war now"

That's why I want so much to see Ann Coulter get into it. She's a media darling, even to those that hate everything about her. She has the background in Constitutional law to shoot down the empty squalering about Terri's law being unconstitutional, and best of all, she could make mincemeat out of fruits'n'flakes Felos.

Coast to Coast in talking about Terri right now.

[lonevoice]

Are you listening to a replay of an older show? Coast to Coast AM is live, starting at 10PM PST. I hope George will keep giving Terri's story plenty of airtime. He's done well with it so far.

As for Florida Medicaid Fraud reporting, this information came from the Florida Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. All complaints to through the States Attorney General:

Medicaid Fraud Control Unit
Toll-free Hotline to Report Medicaid Fraud: 1-800-892-0375
The Medicaid Fraud Control Unit became part of the Attorney General's Office in July, 1994, and brought with it responsibility for policing what has become Florida's $12 billion per year Medicaid program.

Medicaid Fraud can take many forms and cost Floridians hundreds of millions of dollars each year. The most common involves doctors, dentists, clinics and other health care providers billing for services never performed, over billing for services provided, or billing for tests, services and products which are medically unnecessary.

In addition to investigating fraud committed by health care providers, the Unit also investigates the abuse, neglect and exploitation of the elderly, ill and disabled residents of long term care facilities such as nursing homes, facilities for the mentally and physically disabled and assisted care living facilities. The investigation of corruption in the administration of the Medicaid program is another important responsibility of the Unit.

While committing significant resources to protect the public's interest, the Attorney General's Office will always welcome the assistance of the citizens in fighting against health care fraud. Under Florida's False Claims Act, persons who blow the whistle on Medicaid Fraud are entitled to share in any funds recovered by the state.

To report fraud or abuse, individuals may use the statewide hotline number or contact the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit nearest them.

The statewide hotline number is 1-800-892-0375
In Tallahassee (850) 414-3600
In Orlando (407) 999-5588
In Tampa (813)-287-7940
In Ft. Lauderdale (954) 958-5457
In Miami (305) 513-3200
In Jacksonville (904)-858-6919
In Ft. Myers (941) 338-2442
In West Palm Beach (561) 837-5000

The hearing impaired may now report Medicaid Provider Fraud Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., by contacting the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit at (850) 414-3935 (voice/TTY) or through the Florida Relay at 1-800-955-8771 (TTY)

Yes, like permanently recalled into cement blocks and dropped into the Gulf of Mexico.

[atruelady]

I agree. The information and evidence is there. All we need is someone to look at it. One would hardly have to do any digging at all, only some stuff.

[lonevoice]

You're right about Ann Coulter. She'd be a mighty warrior if she joined the fight. If anyone has her email addy handy, I'd love to join in sending her some thoughts. She's pretty cozy with Drudge, who's acting like this isn't even happening. I've found that strange since he's passionately pro-life.

fruits'n'flakes Felos...I like that :P

[mickie]

It is a live show.
It is a call in for the first hour......already the first two callers discussed Terri.

[sweetliberty]

"like permanently recalled into cement blocks and dropped into the Gulf of Mexico."

Now, now....I appreciate your sentiment, but I think we could do more good by torturing him with prayer. Have you ever watched anybody who was the focus of intense prayer and didn't WANT to be? Hehehehehehehehehe.... Good for him in the long run...and can make us feel better in the short run.

[lonevoice]

Odd. It starts live from the studio in Los Angeles in about 35 minutes. Well, whatever he's doing, I pray it's helping! Is it going well?

[Deo volente]

Thanks for posting those articles.

Triple posting will guarantee that I see them!

My eyesight is terrible.

[Calpernia]

>>>Please place this letter in Terri's file. I am sending a copy of it to Dr. Gambone.

The police were called to the hospice. The article exerpt below says the police went through paperwork. Do you think they looked at Terri's file? Wouldn't they have questioned letters such as this?

AND, if you investigate something, don't you need to make a report? Aren't those reports public record? Can anyone get a copy?

Hospice: Caught In The Middle
By Al Ruechel

http://www.glennbeck.com/al/Hospice.shtml

(snip)

"About 28 hours after Terry’s feedings were stopped a registered nurse so upset with the whole story called the state’s abuse hotline. She claimed the staff at the Hospice where Terry was being cared for was guilty of abuse for withholding oral liquids and nourishment. She demanded police immediately investigate. I’m sure she meant well but the impact this had on the volunteers and staff at that facility was chilling to say the least. Two investigators spent several hours at the Hospice facility going through all the paperwork. They questioned some of the doctors and staff members. My sources tell me they very briefly visited Terry’s room and found nothing unusual."

Good job!

I sent the affidavits from the nurse and the speech pathologist. I hope, hope, hope Greta will get these people on her show.

Keep this up everyone!! The fastest way to get Terri out of danger is to provide enough evidence that Michael assaulted her and ordered neglect in the hospital. If this info is spread in the media (Greta's show), the state agencies will be shamed into action.

I think the doctor should be reported to the state medical board. If he cooperated with Michael he is complicit. He can trade testimony against Felos and Schiavo in exchange for keeping his license.

I went looking for the website of the state board and came up with this. Terri's former doctor, Victor Gambone (?), has privileges at Morton Plant. I wonder how involved he was when she was there? Hospice RNs, does a physician need official privileges to treat patients there? I did not see the hospice listed in his profile.

It looks like you can download the complaint form from this site and send it in. If anybody can get copies of letters, bone scans, accusations of neglect, ANY documentation, please fill out the complaint form and send it in. If we can get this guy to turn on Felos and Michael it will be very damaging.

...Received this today and just wanted to share it with you (I don't know if it's already been posted, but if it has been, I apologize for the duplication).


This CONSERVATIVE ALERT is a special message from Ambassador Alan Keyes:

Dear ,

I am sending this up-date on the fight for Terri Schindler
Schiavo's life. The battle in Florida to prevent her killing continues to rage, and your prayers and support are still urgently needed!

I want to tell you what has been happening behind the scenes. While I was in Israel, a federal court decreed that Terri would die. My chief of staff, Mary Parker Lewis, contacted Randall Terry (Founder of Operation Rescue) and asked him to give his full attention and efforts to saving Terri's life. After he spoke with Terri's family, and knowing that we would help cover the costs, Randall and his wife and children left that evening for Terri's side.

Mr. Schindler (Terri's father) told Randall, "We are giving you 'carte blanche.' Do whatever you can to save our daughter's life." Randall Terry and his staff put together a strategy for vigils and protests, a meeting with Governor Bush, getting national press, and creating an avalanche of public outcry for Terri.

According to Terri's father, "Randall did exactly what we
asked... which gave us the momentum to pass the law that
has spared Terri from death -- for now. My daughter is
alive today because of Randall Terry's efforts."

Thanks to the incredible success that Randall Terry and his team achieved in carrying the truth of Terri's plight through the national media, and politically implementing the massive public mobilization that followed, Terri's court-ordered killing has been halted.

But while Randall and conservative activism have won a
reprieve for Terri, her ultimate survival remains in doubt. The actions taken by the Legislature and the Governor of Florida to protect her will surely be challenged in court, and perhaps struck down by another out-of-control judge. When that happens, Terri will again be in jeopardy of imminent death. Conservatives need to stay in high gear. It will take tremendous resources and energy to keep up this fight!

We must keep the pressure on! Please help us seize this
moment, and make our nation safe for Terri, and for all
who are infirm and unborn. The courts are out of control,
and this is a special, providential moment in time to
make the case for innocent life to our fellow Americans.

I want you to know that Terri's family is eternally
grateful for everything that Randall and conservative
activists like you have done. The hundreds of thousands of
emails, petitions and phone calls from pro-life people, and Randall Terry's ability to galvanize national media
coverage, and apply political pressure endorsing the
dignity of innocent human life, turned the tide for Terri.

But your financial support is urgently needed to keep up
the fight! Randall's efforts to rescue Terri have been
financially depleting, as you can imagine. He has already
spent tens of thousands of dollars in this struggle on
travel expenses, sending out national press releases, and
deploying legal interventions. The willingness of people
like you to help with funds and continuing activism is
absolutely key in sustaining the campaign to spare Terri's
life, and the lives of others in America being done to
death by tyrannical courts!

Please help! You can support this work by making a donation NOW to Randall's organization.

Or send a check to:

Society for Truth and Justice
PO Box 131568 wg
Houston, TX 77219-1568

The Society is all activism, and contributions are NOT tax-
deductible, but if it would help you, or you could give
more with a tax-deductible option, then please make your
check out to SAVE, instead of the Society, and we will
provide an acknowledgment for income tax purposes. Your
gift will be used for educating America about court-ordered death of the innocent.

God Bless you and your family. We are grateful for all you
do in this cause. I am asking you to be as generous as you
can in funding this urgent campaign. At this moment, we
have won a respite, but already the pro-death forces are
in court battling to kill Terri simply because she is
impaired and vulnerable.

For life, in Faith,
Alan Keyes
