GOP Denies Having Motives in Schiavo Bill

WASHINGTON (AP) - Congressional Republicans denied on Sunday that political motivations were behind legislative efforts to reconnect Terri Schiavo's feeding tube.

``I hope we're not ... making this human tragedy a political issue,'' said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. ``We've got plenty of other issues that are political in nature for us to fight about.''

During Mass this morning, the priest said that Terri is living through her Passion - as Jesus did. Terri is being starved during the holiest time of the Church year.

Looking at that photo,
I'm imagining that the officer had a nice big Country Breakfast at Denny's this morning, and that his dog will be supplied plenty of cool, fresh water during the course of the day.

As poor Terri starves and wastes away in a dark room inside that hellish building.

A dog gets to drink, but a human being doesn't.

Tim Russert said on his show that Terri is PVS.

A radio talk show host in Boston, Mass., 1030 AM radio, said he READ that Terri is PVS.

Maybe we need a letter-writing campaign, to help Terri, and so there won't be any more "Terris" going through this hell.

Here's a couple of letters that one of my Jewish friends wrote (I am a Christian, so trust her judgment about what would reach the hearts of Jewish people) - one geared towards secular newspapers, and one geared towards Jewish newspapers. These could also be quick talking points on a radio show, because they don't give you much time when calling talk shows.

To the Editor: (GENERAL)

Terri Schindler Schiavo is being killed without due
process, and without the right to have family, friends, physicians
and caregivers speak on her behalf.

Contrary to reports, it is documented that Terri is conscious,
understands, and attempts communication. Still, in the moments prior
to the feeding tube being pulled, Terri’s cries went unheeded even as she
struggled to say "I want to live."

The question is not about the right to die, but should individuals
and the Courts have the right to authorize the killing
of patients. Indeed, one attorney in this case has observed
that the battle isn't fending off unwanted medical care, but getting
a doctor to treat you.

Good citizens and human rights organizations should be outraged over
what is happening to Terri Schiavo.

To the Editor: (JEWISH NEWSPAPER - if written to a Jewish paper)

The silence of our community, of all peoples, concerning Terri Schindler
Schiavo is deafening. Terri, a disabled woman, has been Ordered to die
and since March 18 remains starved and dehydrated.

Without immediate intervention, Terri will die without due process and
without the right to have family, friends, physicians and caregivers speak
on her behalf.

Even her own words have been ignored. Contrary to reports, it is
documented
that Terri is conscious,understands, and attempts communication. Still, in
the
moments prior to the tube being pulled, Terri’s cries went unheeded even as
she
struggled to say "I want to live."

The question is not about the right to die, but should individuals
and the Courts have the right to authorize the killing
of people deemed unworthy of life. Indeed, one attorney in this case
has observed that the battle isn't fending off unwanted medical
care, but getting a doctor to treat you.

Let us not think that the fate of victims of involuntary euthanasia is
unrelated to
the human rights of all people. Humanity has gone down this road before and
we
know the inhumanity it ultimately leads to.

Good citizens and religious organizations should be outraged over
what is happening to Terri Schiavo.

I've been involved since the last time they pulled her tube.

I believe that the bill will pass after midnight, but I'm not sure it will do any good. The Federal Judge may or may not demand the tube be re-inserted, and even if he does rule to re-insert the tube, Judge Greer will defy the order. The case is still under his control according to Delay's statements.

I think it comes down to Gov. Bush exercisng his authority to save Terri, but he hasn't so far. I had my doubts about the Governor using "protective custody", until the DCF finally got involved. They are legally mandated by the Florida legislature to investigate abuse and can take the person into protective custody, which they have not. I feel the Jeb Bush has the authority to take her into protective custody right now.

Hi! In addition please read the Empire Journal article noted in an above post on How Schiavo fits the wife abuser profile and facts included there such as he would watch her odometer, make her account for every penny and how he violently and almost physically attacked her sister the night after Terri's "collapse". His treating Psychiatris the next day told Mr. Shindler, the man was dangerous and to stay clear and call the police if anything more happened.
A must read by a noted Psychiatrist on the subject!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pickyourpoison]

Well, isn't that a fine use of our police officers. If their not ashamed, then I'm ashamed for them.

Alan Keyes will be speaking in Tallahassee later today at a Vigil for Terri. I'm not sure if he will be speaking in front of Jeb's mansion or at the Capital. I don't see how the media WON'T COVER HIM. Ambassador Keyes at bat.

"Among the four men arrested were former Lee County Sheriff John McDougall and former Green Beret Commander John Gordon “Bo” Gritz, a retired Army Lt. Colonel."

"The men were arrested and charged with misdemeanor trespassing for crossing a police line, trying to take water and communion wafers to Terri. Gritz and McDougall were handcuffed by Pinellas Park police and taken to Pinellas County Jail. They were reportedly being held at the jail on a $250 bond.">Schiavo Protestors Aressted

I can't imagine that they can't make bail. I wonder what Bo's wife knows about this?

[floriduh voter]

weather is springy and windy during the day and it starts to get chilly about 5:00 pm. I'm at home to watch the House hearing. After the vote and briefings, I'll head back to Hospice. Isn't the picture of Terri's mom surrounded by POLICE DISTURBING? We live in a POLICE STATE and they search Terri's parents and siblings before they can see Terri. They have to show their id to pass through the police line. We applaud when the Schindlers go in or come out of Auschwitz Woodside.

That was a St. Pete Times reporter with the Michael supporters on Friday. She came on Saturday as the St. Pete Times. We are collecting data on the two girls from the Times. Michael groupies on Friday and St. Pete Times on Saturday. HOW EMBARASSING FOR THE TIMES WHO HAVE BEEN PUSHING TERRI'S MURDER ALL ALLONG. They are holding signs for Michael.
