*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.
"I usually respond when the clerk or one of the litigants brings an issue forward.”
A big lie. He DOESN'T respond most of the time when the argument goes against Michael's position. Just the other day, he refused to let the DCF attornrey even speak, left her petition in his office, and didn't even refer to it in his terse ruling of Friday, denying any more stays.
1. See post #4295 re Jodi's current license.
2. See Terri Schiavo, life insurance, and insurers duty to cancel if beneficiary is trying to kill insured", where it says:
"Michael Schiavo has declined to comment on whether there is an outstanding life insurance policy on his wife,"That thread has quite a bit of information regarding insurance, names (such as the reminder that Jodi Ann Centonze is divorced from Scott W. Blough, therefore, she also went by the name Jodi Ann Bough), and ideas and thoughts.
as quoted from this CNN Article: Father: Brain-damaged daughter responsive
3. That thread also refers you to one of my old posts on another thread (Terri's Fight - (Daily Thread/Updates) November 8 -10, 2003) regarding Michael Schiavo suing Prudential Insurance Company, filing date: 05/22/90. I believe this is one of the malpractice lawsuits from which hundreds of thousands of dollars were awarded for Terri's rehabilitative care.
4. Also from the Insurance thread (#2 above), you will find that sweetliberty posted there a link to the CNN LARRY KING LIVE Interview With Michael Schiavo, who told numerous lies throughout the interview, and wherein he states:
"They don't like me because they want the money," Schiavo told King, in reference to $1.2 million dollars awarded him and Terri in 1992 as a result of medical-malpractice suits over her brain injury. Schiavo claims the money has been used to fund therapy for Terri and only about $50,000 remains in her fund. WorldNetDaily has reported, Felos has been paid some $358,000 from the fund and Schiavo's other attorney reportedly received $80,000. Schiavo added that there is no life insurance policy on Terri's life and stressed he stands to gain nothing financially from her death.That thread also links to the old CNN Interview thread, as well: Michael Schiavo pleads case on CNN
Hi, nic -- thanks for finding and posting those two -- I didn't find what I was looking for, but did find something else. I'll look at a little more when I get back later tonight or tomorrow and see if it seems worth anything.
yw, cyn; I figured that something's better than nothing, and perhaps it will help find other threads that might be more helpful. There's just so much information stored away in the cob webs! : )
Just thought I would let all of you know Terri is even in the Russian news:
I emailed a friend and got this reply:
"Interesting you mailed me, I was going to e-mail you
myself. Look, I found the story about Teri on a
russian medical news web-site:
http://mednovosti.ru/news/2005/02/23/court/
It is translation into Russian from
http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=OFGGAG5INY4G2CRBAELCFFA?type=healthNews&storyID=7705235
The article says that the court did forbid to remove
Teri's feeding device. It also says that Teri's
husband claims that before she got ill, Teri asked him
not to support her life and let her die if something
bad would happen. Teri's parents and friends say that
he lies; she never asked for that and Teri's husband
just wants to get the insurance money.
I hope that the court's decision will be made
permanent!"

I went and looked at the link. Sure enough, there is Terri, her mother, and her big smile! Terri's story is starting to take off!
Things That Make You Go Hmmm-Gordon Watts
Excerpt .. full page at link above
PHILADELPHIA CONSOL. HLD. (NASDAQ) aka "Philadelphia Consolidated" Insurance Company has just recently bought JERGER & CENTONZE INSURNACE AGENCY, INC., (at which, apparently, Michael Schiavo's girlfriend, Jodi Centozone, works) according to *this* article in Philidelphia Biz Journals dot com.
And, Michael Schiavo would stand to gain if the Hospice were insured by this company but did not have to pay out any large malpractice claim for refusing to give Terri swallowing therapy for thirteen (13) years. Are they insured by Jerger & Centonze? If they are, could this info be private?
While I don't wish to speculate, a friend brought this possible connection to my attention.
Disclaimer: While The Register certifies that the foregoing appears to be correct, we do not verify that the following claims below are correct. Yet, they are nonetheless among that great nether world of (as Arsenio Hall used to say) ... "Things that make you go 'Hmm...'."

In the land of the FREE and the home of the BRAVE, Terri's life MUST be protected!!!
When was Terri moved to the Hospice in which she is held currently?
Psalms 25:8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. 9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. Psalms 25:12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. 13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. Psalms 37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. 8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Psalms 37:18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. Psalms 37:22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth
Cybercast News Service: Judicial Tyranny Killing Terri, Group Says
By Susan Jones
CNSNews.com Morning Editor
February 23, 2005
(CNSNews.com) - Pro-life groups are urging Americans to quickly and loudly express their outrage over the imminent starvation death of a brain-damaged woman in Florida. While some of those groups are focusing on life-and-death aspects of the case, one organization sees it as a battle against "out-of-control judges and greedy lawyers."
Terri Schindler Schiavo's husband wants to remove her feeding tube -- something Terri would have wanted, he has insisted for years. But Terri's parents are pleading for the right to care for Terri; they want Michael Schiavo to divorce her and turn over guardianship to them.
On Tuesday, each side won a temporary victory: A Florida appeals court cleared the way for Michael Schiavo to disconnect Terri's feeding tube, but before that could happen, a Pinellas Circuirt Court Judge George Greer issued an emergency stay, which expires at 5 p.m. on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, Judge Greer is expected to consider the Schindler's arguments that Michael Schiavo is unfit to be his wife's guardian, wire reports said.
And with time running out, it's what happens next that concerns some activists:
A conservative group called Right March says it is "out-of-control judges and greedy lawyers" who want to kill Terri.
"She's not brain dead, nor in a coma, nor on any life support system; she is simply severely handicapped. She laughs and cries and tries to talk with her parents. And the judges and lawyers want to kill her," Right March said in a statement on its website.
The group is urging concerned Americans to take action, not just for Terri's sake but for the sake of the rule of law:
"In the big picture, this battle could be a key turning point in ending the rule of judicial dictators in our country," Right March said. "If we as citizens will denounce this oppression, and Gov. Bush and the Florida legislature will again stand against these judicial tyrants, it could be a key moment in our history as a nation.
"We could look back and see that this was a key battle in restoring the rule of law and the right of self-government in America; that it was a team battle in breaking the stranglehold that the courts have on our lives, our laws, and our liberties."
Right March is urging Americans to petition Florida "to stand against judicial tyranny and act on Terri's behalf."
Moral test
A prolife group, Operation Save America/Operation Rescue, said America runs the risk of failing a moral test if Terri is allowed to starve.
"America, we were once a country that would run to defend the weak. We are defending the rights of innocent people in Iraq -- what has happened to us that we cannot defend the disabled in our own land?" asked the Rev. Flip Benham, Operation Rescue's national director.
He noted that "pagan institutions have always paved the way for the mass slaughter of the weak," and he mentioned Fascism, Nazism, Communism, and even Islamic terrorist organizations.
"America, will you just stand by or will you intervene for Terri?" Benham asked in a press release.
The American Life League says if Terri's feeding tube is removed, it will happen against the wishes of her parents and thousands of people who want to save Terri's life.
ALL notes that Pope John Paul II has mentioned the immorality of killing a human being by withholding food and water.
The American Center for Law and Justice, which represents Terri's parents, says the decision to remove Terri's feeding tube is "wrong," especially given new medical evidence suggesting that patients like Terri do respond and are more aware of their surroundings than previously thought.
"We are examining all legal options available -- including returning to the U.S. Supreme Court once again on behalf of Terri's parents," the ACLJ said in a press release.
Last month, the Supreme Court refused to reverse a lower-court decision declaring "Terri's Law" unconstitutional. That law, passed by the Florida Legislature two years ago, gave Florida Gov. Jeb Bush the authority to order that Terri's feeding and hydration tube be reconnected, after a Florida court allowed them to be removed.
Terri's parents and legal team insist that Terri is not in a "persistent vegetative state," as her husband alleges. They also insist that her condition is not terminal or untreatable -- and that she is aware of her surroundings and does not want to die. =====================
God Bless all these groups taking public stands for life, especially Jay Sakelow's American Center for Law and Justice for Terri's protection and defense. God Bless Terri, her family and her legal warriors ... fight, Terri, fight on!
floriduh voter would be the one who would remember that .. I just keep up with the timeline of all the events. Seems to me it was after her feeding tube was removed the last time, and spent time in the hospital recovering and stabilizing.
D*mn, I was pretty darn close when I said October of 2003 for the insurance info! As I recall you found a ton of stuff.
Fight, Terri, fight on!
Thank you, sw. I will ask her!
How long has Terri been in this partiuclar hospice or any hospice with ties to Felos and/or Greer?
Someone told me that Judge Greer was hand picked by Felos because he is pro-euthanasia.
Is this true? Does an attorney get to pick the judge??
Is Terrisfight.org STILL unavailable?? I am beginning to wonder about hacking or problems from the opposition on that site. I have tried repeatedly...
I just keep = I JUST CAN'T KEEP UP -- sry .. and, I really can't .. between this thread, and the other negative thread, and the pings ;-)
I don't know about Florida, but I must assume that's NOT what is supposed to happen. I understand the "usual" protocol would be randomness (at least in a couple states I know about, New York and Colorado), although I understand that doesn't always follow, either.
