Find out the TRUTH about Terris Fight for life

I purchased this book last year, and found it to be one of the best references for facts in Terri Schiavo's case. Reading this book is like sitting down with Cheryl and Jan, and listening/watching them present the actual evidence and truth about so many things that the mainstream "pro euthanasia" media has refused to tell. You will see the actual hospital documents, police reports, and so much more.

I will warn you though, that once you learn about the judicial misconduct, FL laws broken, the details of Michaels malpractice case,(money was paid under the claim that Terri had a heart attack brought on by potassium imbalance that was undetected. The autopsy confirmed this assumption was bogus, and that Terri never had a heart attack brought on by anything. The news however, is consistently reporting to this day that the autopsy confirmed the heart attack! There is a lot more about the autopsy that has never been reported. The geniuses reported that the autopsy proves Terri was not strangled, however, it only proves that 15 years later, there is no sign of soft tissue damage - nor would there be if someone was strangled that long ago!) Reporters should be charged with a misleading the public charge for purposely reporting assumptions as truth. And why is it that all the TV stations do not disclose that Terris records were SEALED by Judge Greer?

No one reports on the bone scan that indicated a tremendous force hit her, as well as the multiple fractures and other damage. ****HBO Autopsy Dr. Himself, Mr Baden, had commented on the bone scan before Terris death, and suggested there may have been foul play.*** There is so much corruption involved in Terris case, Pro death judges making their political position the law, instead of obeying the law and keeping their opinions out of it! Greer sealed her case, so why isnt any anchors asking about that? Why were Michaels prescribed anti depressant bottles witnessed by the police the night of the "Incident" taken as evidence? Why were Terris friends and family not questioned regarding Michaels attitude, or any marital problems? The first report on what happened at the Schiavo residence, was titled a homicide. Why was it changed? What happened to the woodwards and Bernsteins in our country? Now each network or cable news feeds off the other, like vultures. They report the same story over and over, from reuters or the like, and rarely ever investigate it themselves. Newspapers follow suit. If someone investigated the five different interviews that Schiavo has given to the media and police reports, Michael Schiavo might very well be behind bars, in the cell next to Scott Peterson.

There is actually v ery little difference between the two, the more you learn about what may very well have happened that night to Terry. Yet strangely, Matt Lauer and Larry King, and all the other news media does not bring up these questions, or question Michael why in the 7 years after Terris "incident" did he never ever tell a soul about Terris wishes that for seven years he supposedly denied? No media outlet reported on the testimony that Schiavo told other people that he had no idea what Terri would have wanted, as they had never spoken of something like that happening in any context. The only time Michael did come out with this revelation was after he asked his girlfriend to marry him, and all of a sudden there was a rush to get rid of Terri and whooops, there it is, a million dollar inheritance!

If someone is in a position to gain something from another persons death, they should not be the guardian of that person. PERIOD. For all the sappy journalists that report that Michael became a nurse to take care of Terry, the truth is that he did not really "care" for Terry. He bossed around nurses, on a Schiavo power trip but he didnt take care of Terri. Did anyone report on the testimony of nurses that said that Terri would be visibly shaken after his visits, and afraid, crying, etc? Did they report that there were nurses that made entries in Terris medical file about things Michael said or did, or how Terri responded, and Michael would see to it that they were removed?

I could go on and on! If you care about the truth, learn more about this case, not just what you hear your TV anchor saying. We all owe that to Terri, because at the very least, what happened to her will affect all of the laws regarding other disabled people like her.

Of course the "Pro Death" movement hates this book, which is why I see some entries in the reviews desperately trying to persuade others to pass it up. They dont want you to see it, which is why you need to see it. Cheryl, who is by the way, a registered nurse gave up her life on the West coast as a consultant to the Schindlers during the fight for Terris life. She was on the inside, aware of all of the facts regarding Terris injuries, her marriage, the inconsistent interviews, Testimonies regarding the night of Terris "incident", and so much more. Ford and Craddock do the legwork in reading all of the court documents, and bring out the parts that others left buried. Cheryl also led thousands of Terris supporters, that grew once the videos were released. Here michael and Judge Greer were talking of Terri as if she were in a coma, as if she were sleeping and not responsive at all. Greer and Schiavo were furious that the videos were released to the public. That now there was proof that Terri was aware, and did respond to family, dr's questions, and requests, could track things with her eyes. Another fallacy of the autopsy was that Terri could not see. False. It was stated that to be sure that Terri could or could not see, a doctor would have to do just what the videos did. They would have to examine her and see how much she was able to see - and any moron could tell that Terri could see to some extent after recognizing family, and following baloons and lights she was requested to follow. The fight4terri group worked 24/7 through internet emails, faxes, phone calls, letters, protests, to reach those with the power to save Terris life.

Anyone upset about the facts in this book, is really angry that the truth is coming out in it. when the truth comes out, the advocates for people like Terri have their agendas pushed back once again. If people like Terri and others with Alzheimers and brain damage, chronic disease, etc are looked at as liabilities within the health system rather than human beings who still have worth, who still have hope, and who still have a right to live with simple food and water. Terri, was not on any machines as was reported on many programs, she was not weak, my Lord, she lasted 14 days without one drop of water. Many of us who are healthy would not last one quarter of that time.

Without this book, you will be missing a great deal of the story on Terris life, the autopsy, as well as what really happened before, during, and after Terri was injured. The book is well written and what really went on in Terri's life will keep you glued to the pages. I am purchasing additional books for lawmakers in hopes of changing our country's guardianship laws. I would encourage everyone who reads it to do the same, if you want to stop seeing other innocent people like Terri sentenced to death. There are many more than Terri, every day, who die silently, with no one to speak for them. The hospice agenda of starving patients has gone out of control. Terri and others like her, are dying painful, horrible deaths, in rooms far away from Katie Courick, Matt Lauer or Larry King. They are dying with nurses and doctors standing by, ignoring the oath they took not to harm their patients. These are people who never agreed to such torture, and pain. People being starved, guilty of being disabled, and needing someone to bring the food and water to their mouth, to a straw or to a longer straw going into the stomach if their swallowing is affected. there is no difference. The Judge in Terris case (Greer) didnt mandate that she only have the tube taken out, he mandated that even if Terri could eat or drink sustenance by mouth, it would not be offered to her, by his decree. He made sure that police would be there to see that no one allowed Terri to even attempt to eat or drink on her own, regardless of testimony from numerous nurses that she could and did indeed eat on their shifts, jello, pudding and other soft or liquid foods. Instead, given that testimony from multiple sources, Greer made sure that no tests would be done on Terri to confirm whether or not she could eat by mouth! He mandated that Terri do nothing less than DIE. We dont starve murderers, it would be too cruel a death. However, for those with disabilities who can not speak, they are the ones who are forced to suffer that fate, by a Judge who never ever went to see Terri once in all the years that her case was in the courts. Bottom line, we need laws that insure food and water be given to any person without a clear written and signed directive. We need to make sure that men who move on and take another family do not get to decide whether hat happens to the woman they left behind. Every womens group that turned a deaf ear to Terri, should be totally ashamed. ACLU as well. The same Judge that was appointed to watch over Terris medical funds to make sure they were there for her, should not have been able to allow her husband to take them, and buy an expensive lawyer that he could not afford on his own with her medical care money! You will see the judicial misconduct in this case and it will make you scream! If the world knew what was in this book before Terri died, she would be alive right now! My gratitude to Ford and Craddock for such an excellent and much needed book.

The plight of Emilio Gonzales and the closely interrelated proposed changes in the Texas Futile Care laws are still out front.

Meanwhile we have a bevy of medical experts baffling us and themselves with bs about burdens on medical staff, costs, and victimization of the medical community by unreasoned life-at-all-cost extremists. Their medical jargon dwells on technicalities which glaze our own eyes mask the true issue. Selfsame experts bring the plight of Terri into the mix, openly considering Terri's life to be futile. It would be feckless indeed to say medical care for Terri was futile. Rather, it was helpful, but denied.

Likewise, the subtle switch of meanings is in operation over the Texas Futile Care law as one and same experts describe the lives, not the care as futile. Hence it is easy passage to justify pulling the plug and simultaneously declare the medical community a victim, especially its ethics core.

...................................

Austin, TX (LifeNews.com) -- The Texas state Senate has approved a bill that would revise a law that allows families just 10 days to find care for a loved one when a medical facility refuses to provide continued lifesaving medical treatment. Under the measure, families would get a minimum of 21 days to locate a medical facility that will care for the patient.

Current state law allows medical facilities to determine that a patient is too far gone to receive further care and they can tell families that they will stop lifesaving medical treatment in 10 days.

Pro-life groups and disability rights advocates have fought the law saying it promotes euthanasia and puts families in a difficult position.

Although lawmakers are keen on improving the law, pro-life groups and legislators were split on two bills -- one upping the 10 day window and another providing an indefinite period of time to placed a loved one somewhere else.

~Snip~

Those provisions will ensure that patients similar to Terri Schiavo who are marked "futile" by hospital ethics committees can continue to receive food and water while the family searchers for another medical facility.

In this pathetic attempt at proposing a debate, critter Michael Moore evokes Terri's Legacy as part of one of his fantasy talking points. I declined to post his picture or pictures of road kill or any similar pics in such a nice forum as our own.

(4) Your relationship with the First family and by extension HCA, one of the nation's largest for-profit hospital chains. It has been reported that former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (who was renowned for his over-the-television-screen Schiavo diagnosis) is serving as one of your confidantes on your potential presidential campaign. The Frist family has historically controlled HCA, which paid a record $1.7 billion in civil and criminal fines, including a $631 million penalty for Medicaid fraud -- in other words, ripping off the taxpayers.

Rev. Jerry Falwell, R.I.P.

WASHINGTON - Admire him or revile him, the Rev. Jerry Falwell's role in American history will reverberate long past his death Tuesday at the age of 73.

~Snip~

Their power within the party - and the divisions it brought - came into sharp relief in 2005 with the Terri Schiavo saga, when Congress and President Bush responded to pressure from Christian conservatives with extraordinary legislation designed to save the life of a woman who doctors said had been in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years. Many moderate Republicans were troubled by the intervention.

Moonbat leftists continue to define themselves in what they thought of the killing of an innocent, Terri. Actually the author describes himself as a cockeyed optimist. Here is more of the same, once again, Terri's Legacy takes part in defining the left.

Two years ago, people weren't quite ready to admit it. Americans needed this second term to catch on. And what a term it's been. The roll call of shame is lengthy indeed: Terry Schiavo, Iraq, attempting to privatize Social Security, Iraq, Katrina, Iraq, FEMA, Iraq, Harriet Myers, Iraq, Guantanamo, unwarranted surveillance of citizens, extraordinary rendition, torture, redefining the Geneva Conventions, the U.S. attorney firings, Iraq, Alberto Gonzales, the Walter Reed V.A. scandal, Scooter Libby, duck hunting with Dick, Iraq, "outing" a CIA agent in retribution for uttering an inconvenient truth, the list goes on and on. We needed all of it in order to recognize the full extent of our electoral screw-up in 2004.

Wagglebee thread on what the Pope said...

The Pope said that the family "is currently suffering a degree of adversity caused by secularism and by ethical relativism, by movements of population internally and externally, by poverty, by social instability and by civil legislation opposed to marriage which, by supporting contraception and abortion, is threatening the future of peoples."

Wagglebee thread on a topic posted in the Dakota Voice on Rudy Tuesday...

Of all people, Rudy should realize leaders must be straight talkers. They cannot send what we preachers call, "an uncertain sound." The American people respect confident leaders who say what they mean and mean what they say. We crave public officials who call a spade a spade. We want you to take a stand one way or the other. I may disagree with you, but I will respect you for standing your ground.

Sadly, Rudy's "I do but I don't," and "I will but I won't" palaver about abortion undermines the image of the strong, take action leader New York and the country needed after 9/11. But it also shows his Achilles' heel that some had hoped to wish away. It's his moral constitution. Rudy has made a series of disastrous moral choices in his personal life that will haunt him throughout his campaign. That weakness unfortunately compromises his capacity to speak with authority on moral issues, especially abortion.

>> For a while they were really in a frenzy trying to disrupt the thread.

Indeed. But one thing they never doped is that they served as the foil for us to get the truth out. Other than Greer court rulings, they had no arrows in their quiver. Shh!! Don't say this out loud, but they are easy targets.

There is only one way to make a point, at least to normal readers. You do it the old-fashioned way by making a reasoned case based on facts and moral principles. The side that gets ugly loses. Trolls are experts at being the Bad Examples. All they really accomplish is identifying themselves to other trolls. I suppose it's a mating ritual. They are like the liberal nasal-tones of "All Things Considered" or the croaking chorus in The Frogs (Aristophanes): Brekekekex ko-ax ko-ax!

What is "Terri's legacy", please? And how does this passing reference to Frist's "TV diagnosis" fit in with this "legacy"?

Thanks in advance for the info!

“Sun, what is your take on last night debates? Sounds like Duncan Hunter didn’t get much chance to talk.”

I’m wondering if RINOs were running the debate (or naysayers), but what Hunter did say was excellent, and many said that he was presidential.

Laura Ingraham had Kathy Parker? as her guest today, who covered the debate.

Parker said Hunter was very manly, like John Wayne.

Ingraham said Hunter looks like he will kick butt. Laura said many people are saying that Hunter should be VP, but Laura said, he should be “P.”

Before I say “you’re welcome” in advance, I am curious about your curiosity and wonder if you can clarify a mystery.

You are brand new here on FreeRepublic, according to your date of arrival a few days ago. You have one, only one post, this post first ever on FreeRepublic.

With all the other, the wonderful and interesting topics to attract a newcomer, you chose us in Terri Dailies and our topic as this first post.

Your question is not at all in the pattern of a newbie wanting to find out what we may offer about Terri’s Legacy, but it does sound familiar for past visitors, who have departed. It echoes a technique we have seen before, bait to draw one of us into a trap.

Your ability to formulate the answer in HTML format the very first post is amazing for a newbie even one who has plenty of background.

All in all it makes you stand out like a duck in a doghouse. So I just gotta ask before we go further. Are you a troll, a retread, or legit? If not a troll or retread, please explain the above. If sincere and legit, after I am over the shock, I will be glad to fill you with the best information available on Terri’s Legacy.

I’m looking for someone tougher and more conservative than President Bush, but I guess the Republican Party, and even many “conservative” pundits are actually RINOs.

But I’m listening to a Laura Ingraham rerun now, and callers are telling her they like Hunter, and I’m not hearing the names of the front runners.

btw, Much of Romneys money was raised through the Mormon church.

That might change things for at least this particular candidate, not that it’s wrong for any religion to raised $$ for their candidate, but you need a wide range of all kinds of voters to win.
