*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.

NOTE: Terri's December Dailies are noted as a source above. There are lots of important links at the very top of that thread. If you missed Terri's Celebration of Life, you can click on it from there.
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.
It's been discussed on another Terri thread. It is allowed but there are restrictions. Follow the link and then the posts back to 292 & 293

I just got a deleted without being read e-mail from Gary Siplin May 10th of 2004!!!
Judge Greer! You are a coward!!!
Terri ping to 2253! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!
Great Idea! Thanks.
Deleted my e-mail with out reading it:
HERNDON.SCOTT.S17@flsenate.gov
Sun,
Good email.
Lauren,
Thanks for putting a link to the site. For some reason, it took a couple of times before it would load.
http://www.st-joseph-foundation.org/stjf-contact.htm
The site looks promising.
"The purpose of the Saint Joseph Foundation is to assist Catholics in protecting their rights in the Church. Answering general questions about the Church’s legal system and related issues is a useful service that we perform as best we can with the limited resources at our disposal. Therefore, please understand that other matters must often come first. Also, questioners do not always realize that even a brief answer may require a considerable amount of research. Therefore, if you do not receive an immediate answer or in some cases no answer at all, we would appreciate your patience and consideration."
I wonder if they would like the media to find out that they delete email from the people without reading them. A letter to the editor may be appropriate.
Shows you what type of representation you have in Florida?
Probably a lot of our e-mails are being deleted without being read.
Please explain just exactly what this means ... although I know, I need to see it in print ...
"Probably a lot of our e-mails are being deleted without being read."
We can only hope that each time they have to delete another email they are reminded of Terri and her plight.
Keep fighting!!
Has anyone noticed that sites keep getting shut down?
Petitionsonline.com and the thread on "Fraud in the Courts"
looks like the push is on to control public opinion via censorship.
Which sites? Have the links?
Which post are you referring to?

Heartfelt Comments from Reader: Told Husband was PVS, Now Takes To Restaurants and Events
I would like to express my heart felt " thank you" to all bloggers who support Terri. Ever since we moved to Florida 1 1/2 years ago I have been haunted, fearful and upset about what is taking place here in Florida. Over a year ago I cancelled my daily Orlando Sentinel because of their repeated opinionated bias against Terri's case.
I am the sole caregiver for my husband who suffered a severe closed head injury at the age of 31, over 15 years ago.
In the beginning the HMO wanted me to believe he was in a PVS state but I would go to the hospital daily and would talk and work with him til he would wiggle his thumb and when that wasn't enough I would work with him til he would track with his eyes.
He was later diagnossed with speech and motor Apraxia due to injury to his frontal lobe. The frontal lobe controls emotion, spontinaity, initiating and processing. Apraxia is having difficulty in processing a command to act even tho having the ability.Hence the difficuly for him to respond to doctors with their quick commands. It took over a year when he was home to have his feeding tube removed (hospitals are reluctant to do this since there is not enough staff to feed a patient).
I know first hand how important rehabilation is for someone who suffers from a head injury and the lack of understanding brain functions. I take my husband out as often as I can to restaurants, concerts and to cheer on our favorite sports teams after all he is still part of this society we live in. He is very content. I always joke that I have the best husband for we never argue, I always know where he is at and most importantly he mouths out "I love you" every nite for over 15 years!
In 2001 the California Supreme Court ruled that "clear and convincing evidence" must be present that those were the patient's wishes overriding a guardian. I believe the bill HB 701 authored by Rep. Baxley is very important to support .
I wish I had more time to encourage more to help Terri but I must tend to my husband and prepare to go to work. Again my heart felt thanks for all who support Terri.
Update: I forgot to add for the record in my previous post that when I ask my husband if he wants to die or if he wished to die he has always shook his head "NO".

A message from the National Right to Live on HB 701
IF YOU'RE FROM FLORIDA, HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP TO SAVE TERRI
http://www.nrlc.org/euthanasia/Terri/Alert1252005.htm
Contact your Florida state senator and representative to sponsor and support legislation to protect Terri Shindler-Sciavo and those with disabilities like hers from starvation and dehydration.
The Florida Supreme Court threw out Terri's Law 1 because it said it dealt only with her case and therefore violated the separation of powers. But a law that covers not only Terri, but also others in similar situations, COULD be upheld.
The exact language of the best practical bill to protect Terri’s life is still being worked out, and the Schindler family and their counsel are in consultation with members of the legislature. But that is no reason to wait to contact your Florida legislators. HB701, a law that would protect Terri and others like her, has been introduced, and could later be amended with the final language. For now, Florida Representatives should be asked to co-sponsor, and Florida Senators to pledge to support, HB701, the Florida Starvation and Dehydration of Persons with Disabilities Prevention Act. For more information on the bill click here http://www.nrlc.org/euthanasia/Terri/questions_and_answers_on_hb_701.htm
A massive outpouring from their constituents is necessary to get Florida legislators to sponsor and support a protective law to save the lives of Terri and others like her. You can get contact information for your state senator and representative on www.myflorida.com
Misspelled a word. "Live" should be "Life"
The stay granted by Judge Greer expires tomorrow (Feb 22). This means that Michael can remove Terri's feeding tube.
However, the 2nd District Court of Appeals hasn't issued their mandate to remove the tube yet. According to Felos, Schiavo can't remove it until he receives the mandate. The mandate will probably be issued between now and Wednesday.
Greer is a coward for pushing this to Wednesday. I'll pray extra hard that he get some courage from the Holy Spirit. He obviously needs it.
