Six year-old Tatiana Sciso asks for the help of Gov. Jeb Bush
"........ As of Thursday afternoon, Schiavo, 41, had been without food or water for six full days and was showing signs of dehydration — flaky skin, dry tongue and lips, sunken eyes, according to attorneys and friends of the Schindlers. Doctors have said she would probably die within a week or two of the tube being pulled.
'It's very frustrating. Every minute that goes by is a minute that Terri is being starved and dehydrated to death," said her brother, Bobby Schindler, who said seeing her was like looking at "pictures of prisoners in concentration camps.
The brother of Schiavo's husband, though, strongly disagreed with that assessment, telling CNN on Thursday night that Schiavo "does look a little withdrawn" but insisting that she was not in pain. He added that starvation is simply "part of the death process."
===============================
Visits by Terri's mother, father, sister and brother to see Terri are completely monitored and controlled by Michael Schiavo, and they have been refused entry at times to see their daughter and sister for as long as 4 hours. Unimaginable!

She was a girl who laughed easily at her uncle's lame jokes. A girl so naive that she wrote to John Denver, asking him to come sing at her wedding, who went to Disney World for her honeymoon and believed that a good life meant that one day she'd be able to vacation there every year with her kids.
====================================
We await Judge Whittemore's latest ruling, and pray for Terri and her family.
"In Germany, the Nazis first came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, but I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me...By that time there was no one to speak up for anyone."

If a little baby crawled out into a busy highway and sat in
the middle of the road, I'm quite sure that Governor Bush
would risk a jaywalking ticket to rush into the street and
save the child even if the Don't Walk sign was flashing !!!
Terri is an innocent and helpless child right now. Therefore, she
desparately needs someone to bravely risk arrest for jaywalking
to save her life from that evil mob of monsters who are blatantly
attempting to murdere her ... in plain view of the entire world !!!
Jaywalk NOW Jeb !!!

Senator Bill Nelson was just trying to justify why he voted FOR the Senate bill, saying he is a parent, and this was a "very narrowly defined bill JUST for the parents" [his emphasis]
When asked "Don’t you set yoruself up for doing other narrow bills?"
Nelson: "That's possible, but you have to face each one on an ad hoc basis."
YES!! Why won't Gov. Bush see this?? Sshe is an individual case. He HAS legal authority to restore Terri's water and food.
sickened by Jeb Bush's copout
Hi Jane,
KVI Seattle radio station has aired the affidavits filed into court.
If everyone called and called the F.B.I. and demanded they protect Terri, they would have to do it. I sent this to Jeb Bush, and the President Bush Under Article III they have the power and the case can sort out later. Save her life! Now!
The judges only have power during good behavior and having a conflict of interest with being buddies with her husbands attorney he should of recused hisself. (They belong to the right to die group. )
I can't reach any of the clubs, short on time...
Try and reach the talk shows like Art Bell @ aol.com or Art Bell@mindspring
coasttocoastam. KVI radio. etc. they have millions of listeners.
Take care, I will pray for Terri,

Anybody who has the misfortune to tune in Comedy Central John Stewart will be treated to a display of callous disrespect for human life.
Fri, 3/25/05: it's over.
They're intent upon killing Terri, and are beating us. They're winning. They own the judicial infrastructure, built over the past 4-5 decades. We don't have a chance. We're out-manned and out-gunned, this time.
Liberal-progressive-socialist-commie-nazi-subhuman-garbage-filth, are our masters. They own the MSM, local gov't, state gov't, all the courts, and ultimately: US.
Are you worried/scared/locking&loading, yet?
I am.
Some of the most ghoulish comments I have ever seen or heard from the American people are appearing on the internet or are being spoken on talk radio. I sincerely hope some of the 'archival' types here on FR are collecting them on a thread for 'future use'.
Regarding calling the DCF... I did just that a few minutes ago. I spoke with a very nice woman named Tiffany. They know all about the case. She took my information and documented the call... however, she had been instructed that they were not going to do anything about the complaints. She was actually sympathetic... but no action.
I told her that I had been following the case, and that it was my understanding that DCF didn't need Greer's permission to rescue Terri.
On the right side of the front webpage for theempirejournal.com today it has the following:
MURDER ONE IF TERRI DIES EMPIRE JOURNAL OBTAINS FDLE REPORT
Developing
What could this mean? Would they charge MS with murder in the first degree, like in some purported "mercy killings"??? If they don't mean MS, could they charge Greer?
The word for today is:
schadenfreude \SHAHD-n-froy-duh\, noun:
A malicious satisfaction in the misfortunes of others.
Why Jeb Bush appointed him guardian I will never know. What I do know from reading the Web, is that he is somehow connected to the hospice movement and that Terri's parents opposed him. Incidentally a guardian ad litem in the 90's stated that the tube should not be removed since she was not comatose.
Go figure on why and how this matter came to one judge making the law for the whole country and millions of disabled people. At least 16 disabled organizations wrote a brief in support of the Bush law; however, they like everyone else who differs with one judge have no influence let alone power in this matter.
Incidentally, it is my understanding that a guardian ad litem is appointed only for a court case. Why this man?
My heart is broken. I go to bed tonight, the night before Easter, and feel none of the joy I should. I weep for Terri, for her parents, for our country. I weep also for myself, I confess.
Do we need a new Easter Sunday prayer vigil thread?
Isn't the House Reform Committee the one that issued the subpoena for Terri? It is time for them to enforce it. Would it do any good to call each one of these guys and demand they enforce the subpoena?

Dearest Friends of Terri,
I am very distraught this evening. I have contemplated whether to send this information to the people who have remained steadfast and very dedicated in their fight to free Terri from her captors. However, after great consideration, I feel it is only right that I share with you, Terri's supporters, the information I have been given to me this evening by Terri's family.
As we all have come to know, Terri Schindler is a strong woman who has an incredible will to live. Despite the daily inhumane torture that is inflicted upon her by estranged spouse, Michael Schiavo, (the man who has allowed her to lay in a bed with no food and water for the past eight days,) she has been fighting very hard to remain alive. Last Friday, in spite of her not being permitted therapy since 1993, Terri even tried to articulate the words "I Waaaaaa " in a very loud voice, in response to Attorney Weller saying to her, "all you have to do Terri, is tell us you want to live, and this whole thing can be over Terri."
Under normal circumstances, considering how well hydrated and nourished Terri has been due to receiving the balanced nutritional elements in enteral feedings, it would seem reasonable for Terri to live for another week, or so. However, what was reported by her family tonight, has presented my worst fears. Terri's breathing has changed and has recently become very labored. I am assuming this is happening so quickly because of the possible initiation of Woodside's "exit protocol." A protocol which delivers to her nebulized morphine, a narcotic which suppresses respirations. (see attached pdf exit protocol) The "exit protocol" was obviously written to enhance her death process. Woodside claims Morphine was to be administered to provide her with so-called "comfort" measures. Odd, however, they would find it necessary to administer Morphine to a patient who Schiavo and Felos have declared all along has no pain, is without any feelings, and is brain dead. Go figure!
In simple English, it appears they are killing Terri faster than she has the ability to fight to stay alive any longer. Terri's family are physically and emotionally worn out. They feel disappointed and deserted by government leaders who they once supported. They pleaded for help from them to save their daughters life, but were repeatedly turned down by judges who chose to err on the side of death, as opposed to life. Sadly, leaving them alone to stand by and witness their daughter fighting against the inhumane death of starvation and dehydration.
The callous, cruel and bizarre behaviors we have also witnessed from Schiavo in his determination to rapidly kill the wife he claims to love; leads us to assume he may now be on a rapid mission to leave Terri's parents with the memory of her death on Easter.
Please pray that God continues to protect Terri. Pray that He will provide Terri with peace as she struggles to take her final breaths. Please pray that He allows her family to feel confident that they did everything possible to save her life. Please pray that He allows them to know how much she loves them for the valiant fight they have made on her behalf. Please pray that if Terri is forced to take her final breaths, it can be with her family by her bedside and not Michael Schiavo. Pray that someday soon she will be capable of inhaling the beauty of LIFE, in a place where no more harm will come to her.
As Terri now lays taking labored breaths, I myself, am given a sense of peace in knowing if she dies, she will soon be free from Michael ever bringing harm to her again. I will no longer have to worry about what he may do to her; or, how she has had to stay locked up in a room away from her family and the beautiful sounds of the earth we all are able to enjoy every day. I will pray for each of you that you find peace within yourself in knowing you have helped Terri in your own special way.
In the meantime, please know, for as long as Terri is alive and fighting, I will continue to pray for a miracle and will keep on fighting for her until her final breaths are taken. I ask that you all join me in doing the same.
Thank you so much for being an enormous strength for Terri's family. They continue to appreciate the love and dedication you continue to show to Terri, and to each of them.
I will keep you posted.
Respectfully, and with great admiration.
