Former Mrs. Felos Attempts To Capitalize On Terri



Clearwater, FL – Volunteers with the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation said Friday they were astonished to learn of the behavior of former Dunedin, Fl. attorney Constance d’Angelis.

D’Angelis is the former wife of George Felos, legal representative to Michael Schiavo.

Noah knew what was happening, he was told beforehand. Just like so many freepers and people I talk to everywhere (the gal working at the post office today where I mailed my taxes last minute!) There's a stirring in our spirits that we can't quite describe, but somehow, we know what it means.

Very Cool Picture! Do you think he might have been praying AND listening? For instructions let's say?

Terri Schiavo and Pope's Struggles Similar, Priest Says at Memorial

by Steven Ertelt, LifeNews.com Editor

April 12, 2005

Jacksonville, FL (LifeNews.com) -- The parents of Terri Schiavo, who passed away after enduring a painful thirteen day starvation death, attended another memorial for their daughter today in Jacksonville. The memorial was sponsored by a victim's rights group that helped Bob and Mary Schindler in the weeks leading up to Terri's death.

The service took place at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and was sponsored by the Justice Coalition.

Rev. Conrad Cowart told a capacity crowd that the struggles faced by Terri and Pope John Paul II, who recently passed away, were similar.

"When we saw Terri, we saw the pope, and when we saw the pope we were also reminded of Terri. Both reflecting each other in so many ways," Cowart said, according to an Associated Press report.

Cowart said the difference was that the Pope was able to die on his own terms while Terri was subject to a painful starvation.

"Terri was cruelly taken away from us by those who have no respect for the culture of life," Cowart said. "We cannot sit back and let the culture of death take over our country."

Bob Schindler, Terri's father, told those attending that his family has been blessed with over 10,000 emails and cards since Terri's death.

"People are writing and pouring their hearts out," said Schindler, according to the AP report. "We believe God is testing the United States and the people.

"To us, it was gut wrenching," he added, describing the ordeal.

Meanwhile, Terri's mother Mary told the Associated Press that the fight to protect disabled people like Terri is far from over.

"We are going to keep fighting for people so the same thing doesn't happen to anyone else again," Mary Schindler said. "It was horrific, unbelievable and I would not want anyone else to go through this ever."

Terri's parents have not yet heard from Terri's estranged husband Michael as to where he has buried Terri's ashes. He plans to bury Terri's cremated body in a burial plot he owns in suburban Philadelphia.

He is required by Judge George Greer to tell Terri's parents about the burial, but he only has to inform them after it takes place.

During the memorial, the Schindlers sat in the front row with Ted Hires, founder of the victims advocacy group.

FV to ohioanfromflorida: I have worn the "n" off of my e-machine pinging you....

[FairOpinion]

Thanks for your eyewitness account.

I think the MSM is trying to "divide and conquer" by constantly making the point that the "Christian right" is supporting Terri, to make everyone else back off, thinking, that if the "CR" is for it, they have to be against it.

But, as usual, people are smarter than the media.

This is an issue, that everyone should be deeply concerned about for their own selfish reasons -- it could be them -- AND it tests people's compassion. It is quite amazing and sad, how many people have no compassion.

[Future Useless Eater]

thanks, that gave me an education. By following links there I also learned that the commonly used phrases CP means Clown Posse and LP means Liberty Post.

The later (LP) is much less controlled for civility than FR, and arguments there are horrendous. You'd have to be a lawyer or debate groupie to like that place.

The other (CP) is just total anarchy. Only the borderline insane could like it there, IMO.

both of those places blow chunks, and neither of them allow images the same way as here. Makes me even happier for FR.

Thanks Jim!

friends, I also meant to tell you all, there seems to be no
such thing as making a anonymous ABUSE report here, even though
the abuse button implies you CAN report abuse anonymously.

I reported maybe 4 or 5 instances (anonymously) of abuse within an hour's
timeframe and got suspended for 8 hours for doing so.
The reason stated was "Lay off the abuse button".
My profile page was also edited during those 8 hours and
something that offended the WPPFF (Terri-haters club) was deleted.

That happened a day or two after Easter. I don't believe it was Jim who did it.

Just so you know.

We need to get this out to the media. Maybe we can get some coverage for the service on Sunday.

[FR_addict]

Do you know how to ping the Illinois chapter at FreeRepublic? I want to see if anyone can go to the service for this woman being starved to death.

[Republic]

Michael must still be salivating in orgasmic bliss over the urn, or in his case, cardboard box, that holds Terri's ashes....can't bear to part with this trophy (guess the melted wedding ring just wasn't enough) yet....most psychopaths are like this.

Excerpt from Blogs for Terri:

Another Terri Schiavo-Like Case - This One's in Chicago
Several people have emailed me the following story about Clara Martinez, a Chicago woman who is reportedly being starved to death.

Martinez suffered a debilitating stroke a year ago and her husband signed a "Do Not Resuscitate" order that led to the disconnection of her feeding tube. She is able to consume liquids through her mouth and, so far, has survived for thirty days without food.

Under "normal" circumstances her situation would have gone unnoticed had it not been for the intervention of a pastor of the Hispanic Evangelical Church. Her family also opposes the husband's decision.

I spoke to the article's author, Jorge Mederos. He said the family feels "powerless" and has called the media without response. "No one is paying attention," he said. "The family is planning a protest tomorrow or over the weekend."

In the bizzaro world of Pinellas, the medical opinions of massage therapists count, and those of neurologists don't. Interesting article.

"Very Cool Picture! Do you think he might have been praying AND listening? For instructions let's say?"

I'm sure of it, and I think he got them. He spent lots of time in prayer asking for guidance before battles and campaigns. Nowhere more so than Valley Forge, which this picture depicts.

"Logically" there was no way he could have won that campaign. But he did....

DEATH IS NOT HARMLESS ERROR
It’s hard to believe that America allowed Terri Schindler-Schiavo to be murdered in Florida before the eyes of the world, a capital punishment that civil libertarians would have decried long and loud as being cruel and unusual punishment, a violation of the 8th Amendment, had it been in the criminal courts instead of the biased and prejudiced court of probate court judge George W. Greer.
New York has struck down its death penalty, ruling it unconstitutional.

Now American researchers, ironically led by an individual at Florida’s University of Miami, want to stop lethal injection, the most common method of capital punishment, because they say it’s not always a humane and painless way to die.

http://www.theempirejournal.com/416051_dcf_releases_summaries_of.htm

DCF RELEASES SUMMARIES OF PRIOR ALLEGED SCHIAVO PROBES

Pinellas County probate court judge George W. Greer has had a sudden insight into Florida statutes, saying that the public has a right to evaluate government’s actions.

Not his actions, just those of the Florida’s Department of Children and Families.

[trustandobey]

I dare anyone to read your latest post and not cry.

[Scoop 1]

Having reported the criminal justice system for over 25 years, its unfathomable to me how a person could be sentenced to death on the flimsy "evidence" and seriously flawed prejudicial reasoning of George Greer. How could this have happened in our Republic?

[amdgmary]

Dr. Ronald Cranford, aka "Dr. Death," proudly displays the cover of a magazine which he is featured. Cranford examined Terri for 45 minutes in 2000.

Janice Sanford's e-mail to Dr. Cranford:

JUSTICE FOR TERRI SCHIAVO

Dr. Cranford, I just read about you at Center for Bioethics, University of Minnesota.

One has only to read the site to know that your mindset reflects that of Hitler, and others like him, who place no value on human-life for Life's sake. I truly hope that people like you, mentally, get to endue the same end as you wish on human beings like Terri Schiavo...IMO. You are the worst kind of human-being because in your warped mind, I think, you really believe the pro-death BS you spew.

Sincerely,

Janice Sanford, justice1949@aol.com

Dear Janice,

Thanks so much for your kind letter of support. People often ask me how I feel when I get letters like yours, and my answer is always, "Inspired!" Whenever I am doing something extremely worthwhile and making a real contribution to society, letters and words of praise and encouragement like your letter are not uncommon. And they make me even more motivated to continue my work of the last three decades.

Over twenty years ago I vowed to myself that, if I were hated by at least 20% of the people that despised my hero and role model, Joseph Fletcher, I would consider my life's work completed. Alas, I may never accomplish this goal, but your letter inspires me to keep trying. To help motivate you in your cause even more, I am attaching a picture from another fan of mine.

Respectfully,

Dr. C aka Dr. Evil

Joseph Fletcher (1905-1991) founded the theory of situational ethics in the 1960s, and was a pioneer in the field of bioethics. Fletcher was a leading academic involved in the topics of abortion, infanticide, euthanasia,eugenics, and cloning. Ordained as an Episcopalian priest, he later renounced his belief in God and became an atheist.

Fletcher was a prolific professor, teaching, participating in symposia, and completing ten books, and hundreds of articles, book reviews, and translations. He taught Christian Ethics at Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and at Harvard Divinity School from 1944 to 1970. He was the first professor of medical ethics at the University of Virginia and co-founded the Program in Biology and Society there. He retired from teaching in 1977.

He served as president of the Euthanasia Society of America (later renamed the Society for the Right to Die) from 1974 to 1976. He was also a member of the American Eugenics Society
