*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.

I hadn't really thought about the statute one way or another, but I'm afraid you two may be right and the press will label everyone a religious nut and not tell Terri's story.
I think I would rather see signs with Pope John Paul's picture and his words on it? I've been surprised how much coverage John Paul's sickness has gotten in the media. I don't think the media is going to criticize the Pope, especially while he is sick and suffering himself.
Ohhh! That's powerful. I'm glad you put this for all to see. David Williams sets a great example of what a true man of God is.
Thank you for that post and maybe more well known Actors will join this cause.
I'm also Catholic but I do not agree with your statement. A small statue of the Virgin Mary will be present this evening at the prayer vigil at Hospice. A statue of the Blessed Mother has always been present at the prayer vigils and it has never offended anyone, including people of other Christian denominations. Terri's family and many supporters are Catholic. I'll be present at the prayer vigil this evening along with Terri's friend, Monsignor Thaddeus Malanowski, and other supporters.
Please continue your prayers for Terri. Please don't make this a big issue. Prayer are what's needed right now.
If he showed up in robes, he'd be arrested as a terrorist. Hey, that might make for tons of publicity though!
About time the Bishops were called on the carpet.
How do you know it didn't offend anyone? If it did, they were probably quiet. It's the kind of thing that turns people of GOODWILL who are not religious, off and away in droves. I am tired of people thinking everyone feels the way they do about religion or that kind of protesting, THEY DON'T. The sooner you realize that, the sooner you will appeal to greater numbers of people.
But I tell you one thing, we ARE NOT going to make the same mistakes in the movment against Euthanasia, that we made in the movment against abortion if I can help it!
If a statue of Mary has been present every night at the vigil, then it sounds like it is not an issue.
Thanks for letting us know.
It IS a BIG issue. WEEPING STATUES??????? You are going to DESTROY all the good that has been done for Terri. I am NOT going to stand by and be SILENT while you do it.
Whether we are Catholic or not, Terri's parents are.
I had visions of the statute as part of the demonstration, but now that you have clarified that there has always been a statute present at the vigils, I feel a lot better.
I have a feeling that there is going to be a big increase in Terri's supporters at ground zero in the next few weeks.
I am trying to see if I can get down there, myself.
I suggest you ping them as well.
What does being Catholic have to do with a WEEPING STATUE??????
I AM CATHOLIC and I say if the press gets a hold of that, you CAN forget appealing to public opinion. They will turn Terri's supporters into a BUNCH of religious NUTS!!!!
What a pity that in your ferver you refuse to face THAT REALITY!!!!
Prayer for Terri continues at 11 a.m. daily for five minutes ...
This daily call to prayer has been ongoing for months and will continue until this mother's child is safely with her family ...
BTTT for prayer ...
