*Michael, HAVE A HEART !!!!!For Valentines Day give Terri back to her MOM & DAD, The Schindlers!!!!!!!!*
The Terri Schindler Schiavo Daily Threads are created month to month as we watch local and national news regarding Terri and her family.
Since Terri's supporters are in every time zone, you may see something FIRST. Please share news with us that you don't see here already. Now, why would you want to do that? Terri's Daily Thread for September/October of 2004 was viewed over 15,000 times. Terri's November Daily Thread was viewed over 6,000 times. December's thread is over 3,000 views. January 2005 Daily Thread was a RECORD HIGH!!!!!!! 15, 103 VIEWS!!!!!!
More and more good folks are finding out about Terri and that judicial tyranny would take her life, but for lots and lots of prayer and non-stop lobbying of relatives, friends, clergy, our leaders, the media, a passerby, a cashier - ANYONE who you feel comfortable chatting with.
Folks always want to know how can this be in America or on earth for that matter? Unfortunately, this is really happening to an innocent woman who just celebrated her 41st birthday. She's not the only one but she's the one with devoted parents and siblings who knows what's in Terri's heart. Terri has a strong will to live. That's apparent. It's been 14 years.
Besides, feeding tubes have been around practically since the Civil War. They are not high tech devices. Terri is "not hooked up to machines". Her feeding tube is the diameter of a piece of spaghetti.
Talkin' about Terri is the best way to lobby for her. It is a salespitch to save her life and subsequently, many lives. If you've never sold anything in your life, START NOW. START WITH TERRI.
See Terri's flash movies if you need more information. You can see for yourself that's she's interactive and follows the doctor's instructions.

AGAIN WE HAVE A NEW RECORD: 15,103 views on the tote board for the Terri Schindler Schiavo January Daily Thread!
The most significant event in Terri's case in January, was the Supreme's Courts refusal to hear Governor Jeb Bush's appeal, after the Florida State Legislature struck down Terri's Law. This once again places Terri's life in extreme jeopardy, though there are other issues regarding her case before the court.
Of course he's aware of it. The legal options I posted have more to do with the BOGUS and DISINGENUOUS orders of this Judge and the fact that he is aware That he SHOULD have recused himself. He has DEFINTE conflicts of interest.
wrong. Our material is copyrighted and therefore owned exclusively by us. If permission is not granted, you may not take from it, excerpts or otherwise. If the Admin Moderator who started all of this wants to make a public apology and retraction of his crass attack, allowing posts from The Empire Journal on the sidebars as extended news and breaking news, if warranted, fine. Otherwise, my position remains as is. It would be very nasty to have to bring litgation against Free Republic for posting material without permission and I think they have already been through that.
If he read my e-mail then he's aware of it.
"I'll do what the law will allow me to," Bush said Wednesday night."
The Governor's comments above, conflict with one another.
Also please call the Governor's Legislative Affairs Office: 1-850-488-5000
Yes, I do believe a thank you is in order. I'm always mindful of the shear amount of drama Jeb took for getting involved in 2003.
That said, job ain't done yet.
If he does, indeed, have the authority to act on his own (as the Thomas Moore Law Institute has insisted he does), then we need him to do just that. Like soon. Like now.

KEEP CALLING.
Parents Seek New Tests for Right-To-Die Fla. Woman
http://olympics.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=domesticNews&storyID=7665711
CLEARWATER, Fla. (Reuters) - The parents of a brain-damaged Florida woman at the center of a right-to-die battle said on Thursday they would ask a court to order new medical tests before she is allowed to die.
Robert Schindler, the father of Theresa "Terri" Schiavo, said the tests should be done because of a recent study that found patients with brain damage may be more aware of their surroundings than doctors previously thought.
Schiavo, 41, has been in what some doctors say is a persistent vegetative state since a 1990 heart attack. She can breathe on her own but cannot feed herself or communicate.
Her husband, Michael Schiavo, says his wife would not want to continue living in her condition and wants permission to remove her feeding tube.
The Schindlers say their daughter responds to them and should be given treatment.
The case has pitted right-to-life groups against advocates for the right to die and civil libertarians and become a rallying point for Christian evangelicals as well as advocates for the disabled.
Schiavo's feeding tube was removed in October 2003, but the Florida Legislature passed a special law giving Gov. Jeb Bush, brother of President Bush, authority to have it reinserted. The Florida Supreme Court ruled last year the law was unconstitutional.
"Terri deserves to get these tests. Terri is alert, she's aware. She deserves a chance," Schindler told a news conference at the Pinellas County Courthouse with his wife, Mary, at his side.
He also cited the case of Sara Scantlin, a Kansas woman who recently began talking for the first time since an accident 20 years ago.
David Gibbs, the attorney for the parents, said he would file a court motion on Monday asking for new medical tests.
"Any action to end Terri's life would be totally premature," Gibbs said.
A stay blocking Michael Schiavo from removing his wife's feeding tube might be lifted as early as next Tuesday and Robert and Mary Schindler have recruited prominent anti-abortion activist Randall Terry to organize protests at the White House and in the Florida state capital, Tallahassee.
Gibbs said he would seek to have the stay extended and pursue other motions to keep Schiavo alive. Those include trying to replace Michael Schiavo as his wife's guardian.

You know phenn, I think I'm past the niceities (sp?)!! Given the fact that Governor Bush has the CLEAR and UNAMBIGUOUS authority to act RIGHT NOW, I'm not willing to play any word games. I thanked him for what he did last time. This time a DEMAND is in order for him to do EXACTLY what he has the authority and the duty to do, RIGHT NOW.

Hold your horses! Scoop isn't giving permission to post them unless or until the Admin gives an apology.
BTw, ever wonder how the Sunday morning talk shows threads can stay in breaking news for 3 or 4 days?
Done. Hope I did it properly.

Do you suppose that the girl answering the phone in the Governor's office has been instructed to indicate that they are not getting more than the usual amount of calls? Perhaps this is designed to cause people to think that there is no use in calling since others aren't. That is NOT a good report. Between the lines I read that the Governor is attempting to weasel out of his RESPONSIBILITY.
