Charlie Crist Let My Daughter Die
by Robert Schindler, Sr. Posted Jul 31, 2006
As most Americans know, on March 31, 2005, my daughter, Terri Schindler Schiavo died of starvation and thirst after having her feeding tube removed by court order. The sad chain of events that concluded with Terri’s death ignited a media firestorm nationally and internationally. What few saw or heard was the callous inaction of aspiring governor Charlie Crist.
Florida Atty. Gen. Charlie Crist let my daughter die. He had it within his authority to save her life, but he turned a blind eye to her suffering. Even worse, he worked to ensure her death.
Terri lived in a neurologically compromised state for reasons that are still unknown, and my family wanted nothing more than permission to care for Terri for the span of her natural life. We were denied.
My daughter tenaciously fought for her life for more than 13 days after being deprived of the most basic, natural and constant need that we all share—the need for nourishment—food and water. Terri was not on a respirator, nor terminally ill. She was not dying, nor succumbing to a dreadful disease. She was disabled. She was dependent on others, but still very much a life, a woman, and a person.
Over the course of several years, our family, our lawyers, and our friends pleaded for help from local, county, and state police and regulatory agencies with constitutional and statutory authority to investigate the many sworn statements of extreme abuse and neglect suffered by our daughter.
Hoping to save my daughter’s life, our family sought the help of Attorney General Charlie Crist. Not only did Charlie Crist refuse our family lawful access to the assets of his office, but he violated his oath of office by actively cooperated with those in positions of political and judicial authority whom denied us legal access to the police and regulatory systems meant to protect the weak. Multiple sworn agents from responsible police and regulatory agencies who found probable cause to investigate allegations of abuse in Terri's judicial and physical care, were ordered to shut down those probes. This heavy-handedness made us powerless.
Information of direct interest to Attorney General Charlie Crist's office was directly delivered to his personal hands, and he refused to properly execute the duties of his office. And it was with deliberate decision that he failed to attend a scheduled Tallahassee meeting with our family. On another occasion, we approached each other by chance. Upon recognizing me, Charlie Crist abruptly stopped and walked away.
That callous action encapsulates Charlie Crist. He walked away from a man whose daughter’s fate he controlled. At that moment, he turned his back on Terri. And he turned his back on the most fundamental duties of his office.
It is quite clear that Charlie Crist, to this day, has demonstrated no public affection for the cause of life, or Christianity, or any set of core values. He has been posturing to become governor for decades. With each voting audience he has crafted a message based on the expediency of the moment.
To add insult to injury, at a recent banquet, our alleged pro-life candidate for the Governor of Florida said the following about Judge George Greer and other judges involved in the death of my daughter, "You are heroes to all of us, and your defense of the judiciary and what is right is beyond admirable."
Through his actions, Charlie Crist has demonstrated that he has no regard for our most vulnerable citizens, the high duties of public office, or life itself. Charlie Crist’s celebration of the merciless judges who condemned Terri to death speaks to his true character.

Translation: they are trying to catch up. See, they are behind now. This reporter is a regular whiz-bang intellectual, she is.
LA Slimes is just POed, because Karl's son is in charge of the medical decisions, and refuses to kill his father. That hit piece is their attempt to crank up the pressure, and force their influence.
That unfair language is known in the United States as the "freedom of speech". I was a victim of FL AG Crist's pledge re: suppressing free speech. Maybe you were too.
Next, regarding my interest in what a Crist Assistant AG was doing via email. We are supposed to have GOVT IN THE SUNSHINE. Her email FLIES IN THE FACE of GOVT IN THE SUNSHINE. I simply followed a link on this very thread and it led me to an email by a Charlie Crist employee to the Trial Lawyers, it was a pledge to help the trial lawyers suppress free speech and grassroots activism. 1. It was beyond stupid for a state employee to email someone without insuring it wouldn't be made public in the internet. 2. The objective of the Trial Lawyers/Fla Bar is the following re: criticism of judges "This must stop." Crist's employee Martha Barreiro agreed with the Fla Bar.
3. What must stop? Right to assemble? Right to criticize Judges? 4. These emails illustrate a dangerous pattern of the Judiciary in the State of Florida usurping the other branches, including Jeb Bush's Office and getting away with it.
Crist's assistant ag left his dept. and now represents The Advocacy Center for Persons with Disabilities which is another concoction of Roberts Woods Johnson. They do NOT help persons with disabilities. It is another sham operation out of Tallahassee. They have a branch in DUNEDIN, Fl where George Felos has his euthanasia law firm imo.
Don't tell that to candidate Charlie Crist. He ordered a review of POPE JOHN PAUL II HIGH SCHOOL for receiving 100 packages of golf balls from the Fla Lottery which sets aside funds for schools.
In the interest of the separation of church and state which does NOT exist, Crist fought for the group that wants God out of the public square AGAINST a Catholic school over 100 packages of golf balls.
This ridiculous investigation won Crist the honor placement the ANTI-CATHOLIC REPORT 2003.
Crist is unaware there is no separation of church and state! (only if a lib is whispering in your ear is there one).

Yeah, guess so, including POPE JOHN PAUL II. But what does he know compared to a bunch of trial lawyers and swamp judges?
Can you imagine that Terri was just a bump in the road for Florida's trial lawyers and judges?
TERRI WAS MURDERED by Republicans in Name Only and their Liberal counterparts.

CHARLIE CRIST IS NOT PRO-LIFE. The advanced directives on his AG page were written by the death lobby. There are better documents at Priests For Life about natural death, not killing yourself, Kevorkian Style!
Did she lose her job? No, she went over to work at the Advocacy Group for Disabled Persons after she APPROVED OF TERRI'S MURDER.
These are the Sunshine Laws:

Q. What is a public record? A. The Florida Supreme Court has determined that public records are all materials made or received by an agency in connection with official business which are used to perpetuate, communicate or formalize knowledge. They are not limited to traditional written documents. Tapes, photographs, films and sound recordings are also considered public records subject to inspection unless a statutory exemption exists.
FREEPERS, LURKERS AND MEDIA, Charlie Crist's Fla Attorney General's Office perpetuated that Judges in the Terri Schiavo matter were "heroes" but even before that, his office perpetuated that the judiciary's independence would be protected instead of say, the people of the State of Florida.
FLA ATTORNEY CHARLIE CRIST VIOLATED THE SUNSHINE LAW through his employee Martha Barreiro who made a pledge to the Fla Bar to protect judges and to shut up people who think the judges are wrong.
He's not fit to serve. Sorry, Charlie. Go work on your tan.
You will enjoy this FV.

Is that the number to call if you want the state to help you commit Medicaid Fraud? LOL
Terri spent FIVE YEARS in a medicaid placement at a hospice for patients who were ONLY SUPPOSED TO HAVE six months or less to live.
Before TERRI was placed there, she became Medicaid eligible because JUDGE GREER took away her rehab monies and gave them to right to die lawyers.
Terri was MADE POOR by trial lawyers. Thank you, Judge Greer, Charlie Crist's hero.
I don't want a trial lawyer in the governor's mansion. No, thank you.

Obviously you are a threat to government propaganda.
I'm the FVI. (I won't be fooled again).
I don't see how you could of known, beforehand.
I hope JEB does the right thing.
MIAMI (AP) – U.S. Representative Katherine Harris says God and the nation's founding fathers did not intend the country be "a nation of secular laws." She made the comments in a weekly religious journal.
The Republican candidate for U.S. Senate also said that if Christians are not elected to political office politicians will "legislate sin." She cited abortion and gay marriage as two examples in an interview. She also called the separation of church and state a lie.
The comments have drawn criticism in recent days from democrats and republicans.
Snip
The interview also included Harris' reasons for running and response to issues like stem cell research, the Terri Schiavo case and other topics.

Terri on the road to recovery before the second stage began.
More evidence of the clear watershed brought by Terri's Legacy between liberal dems and people of good will: Now there is a thought to scare babies and small animals, Nancy Pelosi in more power...
If Democrats are successful in November, it will be mostly the result of Americans' increasing frustration with the Iraq war and with the perception that Bush and congressional Republicans have bungled everything from Terri Schiavo to Hurricane Katrina.
