Terri's Day and nation's independence protects life culture
Kevin Fobbs May 29, 2006
America's Culture of Life is truly the legacy of one woman whose death forever changed our nation because of actions that were not in her hands but in those of her husband and his lawyers. Yet for millions of Americans we will forever link our own celebration of our nation's independence to the courage of the Schindler family to go forward past the tragedy, past the personal sorrow, past the searing anguish to help America draw a distinct line in the sand, to issue a clarion call to America.
Our 4th of July is coming... Our Culture of Life Independence Day is on its way. Our month of Independence is a message that March 31st (Terri's Day) will signal, that July 4th will signal... and that the month of July will signal to defend the Culture of Life before we lose it forever.
When we talked with our family members or even our neighbors or our friends we may have spent but a moment reflecting upon why we are even gathered on a Memorial Day afternoon. Do we think about the sacrifice of our soldiers and of their families? Do we think about the long goodbyes which are never long enough... as the military families send their loved ones to war, to battle, to stand firm for our freedoms... for our life... for our nation and its values of faith?
How does Terri Schiavo and her legacy tie into this? Terri's legacy and Terri's Day is a representation of a right to live, and freedom to have the liberty to not have it compromised away, devalued by inconvenience, or litigated away by judges who celebrate a culture of death that would rob life from the womb, steal life from a hospital or hospice bed, and destroy and shatter a family's love for a daughter, a sister and aunt who was given a gift from God, but had it separated from her as easily as an ant would have its life take by an uncaring shoe... extinguished forever.
The families who send their loved ones off to war have to wonder as well, does America value their sacrifice? The families of the military have to wonder just where does its society draw the line on its values? A soldier who is in battle in Iraq or Afghanistan has to wonder if a Florida judge can take away the life of an innocent, what is the measure of his life? Would a judge in America suddenly decide that if he were injured, if he had to sacrifice a limb that the protesters outside his hospital bed would have more rights than he would or his family? Would this soldier have to wonder that if he or his fellow soldier were killed in battle, that upon their return that the protesters who would stand outside of his funeral... have more rights to be protected than the rights his family would have to a military burial with honor?
You see, the Culture of Life is about Terri Schiavo, because Americans now have to examine the life of our culture itself. We have to wonder if we as a nation of Christians and of a nation of faith and of a nation of compassion would allow for a state to murder an innocent woman and strip her family of their loved one then as a nation would we allow America to have other symbols of life, of our nation to be peeled away as well, all in open sight and in plain view of a dispassionate nation?
What does our American Culture mean if we allow millions of illegal aliens to literally browbeat us into submission by demanding that because they have stolen across our borders, demanded and received protection from local law enforcement in numerous cities throughout the U. S., obtained free or reduced educational opportunities by state public colleges that our own children could not qualify to receive the same financial aid assistance for. Are we that defenseless to let illegals strip our state coffers of housing assistance for loans and mortgages when tens of thousands in almost every state in America have legal citizens who are homeless, impoverished, or working poor or middle class Americans who need similar assistance but cannot receive it. And they are legal! They are citizens! They are Americans.
What is so wrong about our nation when we are so ready to compromise our freedoms, our culture's life, the life of an innocent and the taking of any life is the taking of our own children's life and their child's. And with each successive generation the nation and its life, its values, its traditions, and its language will disappear because we as Americans were too preoccupied — too narrow — to see that an illegal alien was taking your child's education, that a crusading death culture judge was preparing a bed, a room, a legal precedent to take your child, grandchild or sister or parent.
That is why I have stayed my course to defend the Culture of Life and to ask my fellow Americans to begin to understand that as Terri Schiavo's life was slowly ebbing from her body and as her mother Mary, father Bob, sister Suzanne, and brother Bobby waited in the Florida early morning air on March 31st, 2005, America was having part of its soul ebb away as well.
What will it take to spark an interest, a concern, and a passion for protecting one's own life? Some may say that it would take a clear and present danger — like tanks rolling down your neighborhood street or another 9/11 that strikes at the heart of America. Do we have the convenience to wait? Do we wait until a state legislature in Maine or California or Delaware or Ohio or Illinois decides that your mother's decision to live is determined by a hospital "bean counter" who decides that your mother's life is not based upon a "Will To Live" but an ability to pay her bill? What about a baby, not born, but already set for murder in the womb — not because the mother is pro-life or pro-death but because "the law" says the unborn baby's life is expendable because the baby's genes are determined to be part of a class or a group or a race or of an ethnicity which pre-programs the child, un-born, to death?
America is being murdered in small pieces. It is seeing its values, its life, its culture disemboweled with the finesse of a skilled surgeon. And it is America's poll takers and its legislators and its uncaring, disinterested, and uninvolved who are handling the scalpel. Take the scalpel away. Contact www.Terrisfight.org to join the Foundation's battle to educate America about the right to live. Go to Terri's Day on www.kevinfobbs.com to learn about new updates on Terri's Day and the event to celebrate the Culture of life.
So on Independence Day and Independence month of July will we have any Americans who will sign up and join the Culture of Life movement in their community? Even if it is to sign a pledge, hand out a flyer, become aware of legislators and judicial candidates who have agreed to stand firm for the Culture of Life — a crusade that is based not only upon the life of Terri Schiavo's legacy but equally crucial based also upon the legacy of the right to live, to defend our culture and the life of its values.
Terri's Day is not the end of a national movement but the beginning of a national contract with itself to stand for a future that our nation can guarantee for its children and for a culture that will insure life. The right to live will be Terri's legacy — our legacy... one nation under God. Join us in your homes, on your family picnics, out camping and celebrating July 14th and 15th ... Our American Culture of Life belongs to each and every one of us... We must protect it. Let's celebrate together.

Michael also had a press conference today in Denver to slam
Republican Congresswoman, Marilyn Musgrave.
Follow the $$$$
Perhaps the billionare donors who bought the Colorado House and Senate last election have some chump change left over!
My comment about the MRI - Cat scan was from the autopsy report. I am not in the mood to review the evil PDF files tonight : ) That is why I wanted to get a html version of it posted a few days ago before this even came up.
Okay, I re-found it. Look on page 20.
I've been looking for one since you mentioned it, but find only the PDF. Annoying.
I'll bet you're right.
All those media headlines about the autopsy supporting Michael were garbage.
"Widower"! Do they call O.J. Simpson a widower? If Lizzie Borden killed her father and mother with an ax, does that make her an "orphan" in the eyes of AP?
Michael Schiavo brought his campaign against government intrusion to Colorado Wednesday, demanding an apology from a Republican congresswoman he accused of interfering in his family's decision.
Whoa. It was Michael himself who first asked the government to intrude, years before his attempts to kill his wife reached the attention of Congress.
"I want to ask Marilyn Musgrave who gave her the right to speak about Terri," Schiavo said. "Who gave her the authority to bring Congress into my family decisions?"
The Constitution gives us all the right to speak, Michael. It's in the First Amendment. And by the way, murder isn't a "family decision."
They are repeating the Scientologist episode that won them an emmy.
Their hotel in Clearwater is too close for comfort to the Pinellas Courthouse where Judge Greer is with the other corrupt judges that are his peers.
They hold Clearwater Bar Luncheons at the sci-fi hotel. Disabled people don't have any rights in the sci-fi version of the koran. For all we know, the kicked out of Calvary Baptist Judge Greer is really one of them.
www.judgegeorgegreer.com (I was downtown the other day. It is pretty creepy. There is no downtown except for the sci-fis. The road through town is just used for beach access. There's a big store on the slope to the beach, a park and then Clwtr Beach. Downtown is simply creepy.
By the way, another endorsement for Charlie Crist that he's not disavowed himself from. Reverend Dozier from South Florida said that God told him to vote for Crist and Reverend Dozier held a protest yesterday to prevent a mosque from being built in his neighborhood. As much as I'm against islam in its present state, you cannot stop muslims from building a mosque.
Sierra Club for Crist, Radical Racist Reverend Dozier for Crist.
GUESS WHAT? Jeb Bush is the guy who says something. He asked Reverend Dozier to take back his remarks about muslims but Dozier wouldn't do it.
So, we have a Civil Rights matter which is under Crist's purview as Fla AG and he didn't say a thing. Crist doesn't know what to do when radicals endorse him so Jeb is covering for Crist AGAIN. and again and again.
I think Crist must have something on Jeb because they don't really like each other any more and all of Jeb's campaign people work for Tom Gallagher now. Crist's campaign is full of Semblers who starved teens at Straight, Inc. and then at Operation PAR. Crist is part of the starvation part of the starvation state.
FINALLY, Martin Anderson was beaten to death by Florida Sheriffs while in state custody. Martin's family attorney demanded the policy limits of $3 million dollars. The Sheriff's Dept. REFUSED TO PAY THE POLICY LIMITS EVEN THOUGH MARTIN WAS A VERY DEAD TEENAGER. Now the family is suing the State for approx. $40 MILLION DOLLARS.
I'm thinking this is why Sheriff Rice withdrew from the Fla AG race because if this wrongful death lawyer starts looking under Florida Sheriff rocks, he's going to see that the corruption is rampant throughout the state. Sheriff Rice is one of the most corrupt. He quit because of Martin Anderson imo. Eventually, some discovery was going to point to Everett Rice.
And, about a week ago, current Pinellas Sheriff Coates closed the Pinellas Boot Camp and refused to start the new STAR Program in its place. Coates is trying to distance himself from the Boot Camp mess. I don't think Rice can even though he doesn't have a job at the moment. Any of them can be called as witnesses, even hostile witnesses.
Martin Anderson's death on January 6th may shed some light on Terri's death on March 31, 2005.
Florida, the coverup state.
Reverend Dozier ENDORSED Charlie Crist and Dozier said that "God told him to vote for Charlie Crist." (1. Sierra Club endorses Crist 2. Reverend Dozier endorses Crist)
FRINGE ELEMENTS ENDORSE CRIST, that's the bottom line. Why hasn't Charlie Crist asked his supporter to take back his remarks or why hasn't Crist disavowed Reverend Dozier? (because Crist's not articulate enough or leader enough to do so. Crist is a scripted puppet. Crist is just hoping nobody finds out about The Sierra Club or the Reverend Dozier endorsement.)
Dozier story here:
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/15009592.htm
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/E/ELECTION_GOVERNOR?SITE=1010WINS&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT
Charlie Crist's ties to Judge Greer killed Terri. The culture of life included Terri but not in Crist's world. If he becomes governor, many have said that "we are doomed". Many.
http://www.charliecrist.com/policyCouncils.asp
(In other words, when Florida's Arab community finds out, even the ones I don't particularly agree with like i.e. CAIR), they aren't going to vote for Crist.
Funny that those who voted to kill Terri are cozying up to China.
Waters can't run again but Cotton, her staffer is running. COTTON IS PART OF THE CULTURE OF DEATH. Vote no on Cotton.
If Crist doesn't disavow Dozier's racist remarks or drop this guy from his policy team, he's proving to be the fraud that he is.
Crist is a total fraud.
"Since then, Dozier has spent time with Crist and talked with him at length about policy. He told the group that Crist would be uncompromising in his Christian faith."
FV SAYS: Crist has already compromised his faith and his job as Fla AG. TERRI SCHINDLER SCHIAVO WAS MURDERED proving that Charlie Crist's Civil Rights Dept. is a SHAM! Martin Anderson was murdered too and Crist stayed out of it. Had enough? He wants to be Fla's next governor.
Today we are unveiling our second television advertisement which will begin airing alongside our first advertisement, throughout our state, in key battleground media markets.
In the ad, Tom discusses the personal and professional experiences which have made him uniquely qualified to succeed Jeb Bush as the leader of our Republican Party. And the ad features Tom’s number supporter, his wife Laura.
In cities and counties across Florida, thousands of Floridians, encouraged by Tom’s vision, have begun reaching out to their neighbors, family and friends to spread Tom’s positive message of cutting property taxes and fixing Florida's insurance system, re-inventing Florida's high-schools and continuing education reform, and protecting our families.

Carla Iyer turned down the settlement. Carla may bust the Terri coverup wide open because now that they've gone after her, she's entitled to do discovery and gather evidence.
First reported at www.baynews9.com.
Fla DOH made a huge mistake listening to a non-Floridian named Eileen who owned a tv set.
Meanwhile, Michael Schiavo is in Colorado and today, he DEMANDED that Republican Congresswoman Musgrave apologize to him because she voted to save Terri's life. Can you imagine the gaul? Terri was murdered and an apology for trying to prevent the crime is in order?
Is someone going from sociopathic straight to maniacal?
For all the Carla fans here:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/forthelifeofterrischiavo/message/358
Thanks for the yahoo link. Carla is going to stand up to the starvation state. I wonder what they offered her to shut her up. She has too much integrity to take a deal crafted by killer-liars from the DOH.
