After much hard work that has gone on for well over a year, it's been a week and 2 days since Terri has been without food and hydration.
Many asking the question how we could have become such a callous society as to deny a helpless human the basic necessity of food and water.
Terri's plight has brought to light many problems in the judicial system and opened our eyes to the fact that some laws need to be changed.
The work will continue to protect helpless individuals from suffering the same injustice as Terri.
praying and emailing like crazy - am sending this out to all news agencies:
From the Village Voice:
"And keep in mind from the Ralph Nader-Wesley Smith report: "The courts . . . have [also] ordered that no attempts be made to provide her water or food by mouth. Terri swallows her own saliva. Spoon feeding is not medical treatment. This outrageous order proves that the courts are not merely permitting medical treatment to be withheld, they have ordered her to be made dead."
"I feel so passionate about this injustice being done, how unnecessary it is to deny her a feeding tube, water, not even ice to be used for her parched lips," said Jackson, who has run for president as a Democrat. "This is a moral issue and it transcends politics and family disputes."

Think about this...Terri's system is so familiar with morphine, that the "usual doses" aren't doing their job. Others can refine this point. My point is that she is still alive, and she is fighting to stay alive. The morphine they are using to kill her, could possibly be giving her the extra strength to hang on. This is just me, I am totally ignorant about this stuff, so please don't flame me with facts. I'm acting on faith...
Terri's mom, Mary, urges Jeb Bush to help Terri. Terri's brother and father stand behind her.
Lord, get our eyes off of men. YOU will receive the glory here. If you're using Jesse Jackson as a tool, we praise YOU. Lord, hold onto Terri...only You can. Will anyone doubt if it is within your will to rescue her that YOU held onto her? I would be willing to bet she'll have some stories to tell! Lord, hold onto her...YOU receive glory, not men. We trust you and whatever you decide, but we are already seeing your miraculous hand in this. Please, Lord, let Terri's organs remain healthy, and give her food and water from above. Confound the enemy. in Jesus name.

News reports..
Laura Bush and Margaret Spelling heading to Afganistan to talk to (all) about the VICTIMIZATIION AND OPPRESSION imposed upon women by the Taliban.. I guess Spelling will talking about the value of rehabilitation through education. They are Bringing Millions to support womens education programs.
Hippocritical Insulting to America... That sure is a waste of tax dollars and jet fuel. We have worse right there in Florida.. THIS IS APPAULING-- SHOCKING-- I'LL NEVER FORGET.. I'M REALLY ANGRY... """"""""""""
I totally agree~!! I'm angry too at the hipocracy of LAURA BUSH~!! She is spitting in Terri's face and our face by fighting for the women of Afganistan at this time.
LAURA BUSH - WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?? - HELP TERRI FIRST~!!
Then you can run around the world. We do not have the NEW WORLD ORDER YET, or do we? This country's people are your first responsibility.
I never thought I'd be mad at Laura Bush. Who are these people, anyway??
All news channels right now... just what we need... a briefing on the "fundamental rights of Iraqis."
Amen!
I am not going to lay into you. You have every right to your opinion. I'm not like some of these trolls that call people scum or anything else! I am mad at George and Jeb and i will shout it to everyone! Maybe I'll get over it, but Terri is still laying in a Hospice dying and it could have been prevented if we had real leaders!
You can't leave. We need to make sure the heat stays on those murderes and crooks down there.
This mother's child had not a chance, save God, from the beginning ... this murder has long been planned. This is not about letting the incapable who are dying, die, if we believe what the Merchants of Death spew ... this is about murdering healthy, capable people by order of the court.
I grew up with Ronald Reagan as my president. I measure all recent presidents by his standard. I wish we had a President Reagan right now. I'm afraid we'll never again see the likes of him.
Exactly, Pegita.
This news of Jesse Jackson asking Go. Bush is hitting the Spanish Press. The entire Latin America....
It seems I'm a bit older than you. I love Ronald Reagan. I can't imagine he would be hiding behind "I've done all I can do." Given the very basic nature of this ordeal being between right and wrong and good vs evil I can't believe he would remain silent on the issue for one moment. Reagan always took a stand. I miss him and his presidency very much.

The boys have done all they can do Mrs. Schindler

Hillary: Pull Plug On Patients Like Terri
Since the Terri Schiavo case began to dominate the headlines ten days ago, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton has gone into virtual hiding - refusing to show up for last Sunday's vote on congressional intervention and offering no public comment on the case in the intervening eight days.
But in Sept. 1993, while appearing before Congress to sell her ill-fated health care reform plan, Mrs. Clinton suggested that she wanted to make it easier to deny long term care to patients like Schiavo who have little chance of recovery. ...""""""
Nicmarlo~~~ YOUR POST BEARS THE NEED OF REPEATING~~!!
Hillary Clinton will most likely be our next President. The Bushes and the Clinton's are like several PEAS IN A POD. THE BUSHES WILL PROBABLY DO everything they can to get HILLARY ELECTED. WE WILL HAVE A HEALTH CARE PLAN FROM HELL * if Hillary is elected.
The guy that offered MS $1 Mil for MS to walk away and let Terri's parents care for Terri will be on with Linda Vester in a few minutes and he says the offer still stands (On FOX)
I can't imagine he would be hiding behind "I've done all I can do."
I can't either. He never showed disdain for the American people or put citizens of other countries ahead of us either.
