*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.
Sorry. Hopefully, this should be most of the Florida Representatives.

Terri - Starving for Simple Legislation
http://www.citizenphil.com/2005/02/terri_starving_.html
I thought this was interesting.
Agreed. I had the same thought myself today.
I heard on a radio show that they are starving/dehydrating the elderly in many nursing homes throughout the country.
Perhaps Terri's story will help all of us some day.
True, though I have no idea what the alcohol content would have been. From what I understand, grape juice was made into wine not just to be an intoxicant, but also to protect it from spoiling.
At one time the Florida legisalture, did NOT consider a feeding tube EXTRAORDINARY MEANS. The defintion was changed and now they do. Thus, if they institute the gentleman's idea, feeding tubes AGAIN would no longer be considered extraordinary means.
What the ABOVE MEANS, if anything, in terms of the possible selling and implementation of Phil's idea, is NOT clear to me. Perhaps it suggest a difficult sell? Or after all the HOOPLA, maybe its an idea the legislature would gladly embrace as a way out of a tough dilemma.
Goodnight prayer for Terri!
I know a few people who have removed feeding tubes from elderly parents. They thought nothing of it, and even believed it was a good thing. It's rather difficult trying to then explain to that person that he/she killed their parent(s), though I did make an attempt. But WHO's going to want to face that reality after they've done it?
If I remember correctly, before the definition was changed, the SCOFla ruled that a patient must be allowed to decline gastrostomic food and water; the legislature changed the law to allow that, but opened up things much more than I expect most legislators realized.
Rolling back the change completely would revert to a set of laws the SCOFla declared unconstitutional. On the other hand, adding significant extra restrictions to the removal of food and water should not be a problem.
I suspect the pathology here is similar to that of abortion, and goes along with (what I call) Liberal Credo #1: The more people do a wrong thing, the less wrong it becomes.
People need to realize that one cannot receive attonement through others' sins. The only way to receive attonement is to repent and do what one can to make up for one's sins. Christ didn't just die to save people who commit minor sins. Crhist can save even those who have committed murder, if they truly and humbly repent for what they've done and seek his forgiveness.
Felos was probably pouting after today's hearing, especially with the surprise court visit from the DCF attorney. Bobby Schindler and David Gibbs were excellent. Glad to see that Felos was absent from this interview.
Did you read my Post #3298?
This FL bill, if passed quickly, could be the deciding factor in saving Terri's life and the lives of others.

Good post.
Yes , you are right. Our God is a AWESOME GOD and He hears and answers prayers!!!!
Judge extends stay keeping food for brain-damaged Terri Schiavo

Excerpts:
Meantime, the Florida Department of Children & Families moved to intervene in the case Wednesday, hours after Gov. Jeb Bush told reporters he again was seeking a way to keep Terri Schiavo alive.
"We are really elated," Robert Schindler, Terri Schiavo's father, said of the turn of events. "Forty-eight hours to us right now seems like six years. We pray to God and we thank God that we have some time and are very, very thankful that DCF has picked this up."
George Felos, who represents Michael Schiavo, said the DCF move "reeks of the intervention of politics into the case and is an affront to the court."
Thanks!
Post #3298 bump!
> Petition a country of Terri's heritage, or any country that is receptive, to grant emergency and immediate citizenship to Terri. The Vatican would be nice! Then Terri would be afforded protection through a foreign government or at least be involved.
snapperjk, you're suggestion is creatively brilliant. As STARWISE pointed out in 3181, there would be "bureaucratic paperwork". Notwithstanding, given the circumstances, I'd be willing to bet the Vatican might be the bureaucracy that could most swiftly act on such a suggestion -- particularly if it was honorary citizenship that was bestowed. Terri is still an American citizen and she'd likely lose it if another country granted her full-fledged citizenship.
I wonder who, or what office, would take care of such a request?
