From the National Civil League web site. This award is a BOON for the winner.
"George H. Gallup, one of the award's founders, described the program as "
a Nobel prize for constructive citizenship." As such, communities that have won the All-America City Award have realized numerous benefits, including national recognition and enhanced community pride.
Many All-America City Award winners also have realized significant economic impacts, including new grants, improved bond ratings, increased tourism, and greater economic activity.
FV says: The City of Clearwater SHOULD REALIZE Terri's existence before they receive monetary awards for being a leading standard bearer for civil rights and policing.

TORN APART...
Meanwhile, this morning on C-Span the U.S. House of Representatives is expressing OUTRAGE about prisoners in Iraq because "It's not the American Way."
Please TAKE LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES TO CONTACT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER and to CONTACT THE NATIONAL CIVIL LEAGUE.
As long as Terri's civil rights are denied as well as her family's, Clearwater is NO ALL AMERICAN CITY.

I just sent the following email to
The National Civil League.
Dear G.Handler,
It will be a tremendous honor for the American cities that will be among those designated as your Top 30 in this year's list.
By most objective criteria, I am sure the nominees are all wonderful places, and excellent examples of the best and most delightfully liveable cities in our nation today.
However, Clearwater, Florida, whatever its surface merits may be, stands out glaringly in an otherwise first-rate list. It is the single city on the list I personally would never, ever travel to, through, or stop in for a visit. Why? Because of a dark undercurrent in Clearwater that currently dominates everything else. It is serious enough that protest groups have been organized all over the country to publicize what is happening and fight it. Clearwater means only one thing to many of us since last October. You see, I am slightly disabled, and if anything would happen to me there, I would fear for my life. I would fear to be under medical care where Terri Schiavo, a tragically disabled young woman, lies as a virtual prisoner, deprived of all comfort and care beyond basic and grim maintenance, a virtual prisoner whose mother and father are not even permitted to see her, while a court and hospice system work relentlessly to push through a euthanasia agenda. THIS is what Clearwater, and the Pinellas-Pasco County area are known for today. Is THIS an all-American city to hold up to honor, while this is going on?
Whatever Clearwater has to offer, it is a dark place right now, while this blight continues, and does not belong on your list. Please reconsider your choice.
Respectfully submittted,
xxxxx

Saundra Duffy contacts the National Civil League:
Here's the email I just sent to gchandler@ncl.org:
Greetings from Fresno CA where we were an All American City in 1967 and in 2000. Regarding Clearwater, Florida, which is being considered to be awarded the title All American City - please deny their request. Clearwater is the scene of a great crime against humanity. Terri Schiavo, who is a severely disabled woman, was almost starved to death.
If it hadn't been for Gov. Jeb Bush's emergency intervention, Terri would be dead now, having sufferred a hideous painful slow agonizing death by being deprived of food and water. For the record, it is a crime to withhold food and water from farm animals. Does this sound like something that would be done in an All American City?!
The Pope has declared it an act of great sin to remove the feeding tube from a person who depends on it for sustenance. Are the Catholic residents of Clearwater aware that the Pope has condemned the practice of starving people to death by removing their feeding tubes?!
Is the general population of Clearwater aware that Terri Schiavo is being treated in an inhuman, cruel manner? Terri is not in a coma; she is not brain dead; she is not on a respirator. She is a living, breathing human being. Her "husband in name only" Michael Schiavo treats her like an animal. He has tried for about ten years to kill her by dehydration and starvation.
Anyway, Clearwater, Florida, is a place I want to stay as far away from as I can. There are people living there who think it's okay to starve Terri Schiavo to death. I think most people don't know the facts. If they did, they'd be as outraged as I am. The media has done a pretty good job of keeping people in the dark.
Please do NOT recommend Clearwater Florida for this award. Please! They don't deserve it. It would make a laughing stock out of that city. Many protesters would converge. The word is spreading far and wide. We detest any place where people like Terri Schiavo are treated worse than animals.
Thanks for listening.

An excerpt of my email to the NCL with a picture of Terri sitting up and very much alive.
Please visit the HYPERLINK below and you'll see why I am AGAINST the City of Clearwater being voted an All American City. I may not having voting rights but if your selection is based upon civil rights and respecting every human life, it's a poor fit. CLEARWATER has not done anything to support this innocent woman!!!!!!!
Our hospitals, police dept., judges, attorneys, local media and some politicians very much want an innocent woman STARVED TO DEATH. They've already tried to kill Terri Schindler-Schiavo "twice". She didn't have a living will but they want to kill her anyway. The husband's attorney got Terri's rehab money for legal fees spent on trying to kill Terri. That's over a half a million dollars.
Florida's Terri's Law HAS NOT AFFORDED TERRI ANY PROTECTIONS EXCEPT THAT HER FEEDING TUBE WAS RESTORED after October 21, 2003. The hospital hesitated to admit Terri into their hospital to save her life that evening.
All American DISASTER WINNER is Clearwater, Florida, not appropriate for your esteemed competition.
HYPERLINK FOR YOUR PERUSAL:

I agree.
Just the fact along that Michael torments a woman whom he wants dead through starvation and prevents her parents from even visiting her reveals his sadism. That the system lets him get away with it is inexcusable.
