Terri Schiavo's Easter & Schindler's List Others have mentioned the timeliness of Terri's plight coinciding with the trials of Christ who similarly suffered, but was released from His torture by virtue of a resurrected life. The coincidences even continue. So many have cried out to "kill Terri," as led by a monstrous judiciary, which has as much compassion as a Herod or Pontius Pilate. Although Jesus was a Jew, and at first had Jewish disciples who were devoted to Him except during His greatest tribulation, it was the "liberal Jews," who damned Him most. In Congress (I tried hard not...

Stay With Terri, and with Us: Earlier this evening a misspoken statement told supporters to go home and be with their families. Terri Schiavo's father, Bob Schindler, would like to correct this with following statement: "What I meant to have announced was that people should go home and go to church with their families on Easter Sunday. But not to stay home. We want people to continue to be here [at the hospice] with Terri, and with us." -- Bob Schindler, Sr. The 24-hour vigil will continue in front of the Woodside Hospice, where Terri lives, located at 6774 102nd...

A federally funded watchdog group is investigating the recent deaths of four disabled Floridians amid an aggressive campaign by the state to cut millions of dollars from programs that provide medical care for disabled people in community settings. Saturday, March 26, 2005 (Herald.com)

I challenege any of those people, any of them, to do what she has done. I challeneg any of them to apply the golden rule to her...to have done unto themselves what they are doing to her. Her witness,...

Judge George Greer ruled that the State of Florida has no right to take custody of Terri Schiavo, which ruling came hours after an appeal by Terri's parents to re-insert the feeding tube was refused by the U.S. Supreme Court. Meanwhile, another hearing was scheduled tonight before US District Judge James D. Whittemore .. the same judge who previously heard and denied the request subsequent to the 'de novo' intention of the law past last weekend by the Congress and signed by President Bush, in an effort to confirm that no stone was left unturned before Terri would endure legally...

STARVATION: DAY 8 Jeb Bush not likely to ride to rescue Florida governor indicates he won't defy court order Posted: March 25, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com Those hoping Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will step forward to save Terri Schiavo from imminent, court-ordered starvation death are likely to be disappointed, based on his comments to a group of reporters following county court Judge George Greer's ruling against the state's effort to take custody of the brain-injured woman at the center of a worldwide euthanasia controversy. While Bush reiterated his motivation to save Schiavo, based on new evidence that...

Is pain a factor for Terri Schiavo? While some news stories have suggested her starvation is painless, the head of the Christian Medical Association is debunking what he calls "the myth" that it does not involve pain. "Contrary to those that try to paint a picture of a gentle process, death by dehydration is a cruel, inhumane and often agonizing death," said Dr. David Stevens, who says most so-called experts have never seen someone die under such circumstances. "Unfortunately, having worked for 13 years in Africa, where the most common cause of death in children is dehydration from gastroenteritis, I...

Democrats have called out armed federal agents in order to: 1) prevent black children from attending a public school in Little Rock, Ark. (National Guard), 2) investigate an alleged violation of federal gun laws in Waco, Texas (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms), and 3) deport a small boy to Cuba (Immigration and Naturalization Service). So how about a Republican governor sending in the National Guard to stop an innocent American woman from being starved to death in Florida? Republicans like the military. Democrats get excited about the use of military force only when it's against Americans. In two of...

Governor Bush, Judge Greer is threatening, in essence, a constituional crisis. He is issuing a restraining order against you and the DCF that violates state law regarding the emergancy intervention law on the state books. I urge you to take him on and cease with all pleasentries towards Greer. Have the Attorney General file obstruction charges against Greer and anyone else who stands in the way of your execution of Florida state law regarding emergency intervention for Terri....and proclaim it in an immediate press conference. Then send in the state troopers with the DCF to take protective custody of Terri...

Hunger Strike - THE BLOG: The Ugly Truth The ugly truth is, makeup doesn't makeup for starving and dehydrating your body. The ugly truth is, one cannot hide torture behind the guise of mercy. The ugly truth is, one cannot tell a lie and then make it truth. This is the ugly truth. We're heading out to hospice this mourning, on the day of Jesus betrayal. We shall see if we are about to be betrayed by all those standing in the judicial crowd shouting crucify, crucify...

Spokesman Terry calls for action: We need EVERYONE READING THIS EMAIL to call Governor Jeb Bush RIGHT AWAY, and ask him to do one simple thing: "PLEASE EXERCISE YOUR LEGAL AUTHORITY, AND TAKE TERRI SCHIAVO INTO PROTECTIVE CUSTODY RIGHT AWAY." +++++++++++++++++++++++ ALERT: Wednesday was a rollercoaster of emotions for us, here in Tallahassee, Florida. We've lobbied the state Senators HARD this past week, trying to get just three swing votes to come our way. On Wednesday, the bill that could have saved Terri Schiavo from being starved to DEATH was defeated... by just three votes. There were a number of...

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - After losing two consecutive appeals in federal court, Terri Schiavo's parents vowed Wednesday to take their fight to the U.S. Supreme Court (news - web sites) as their severely brain-damaged daughter began her fifth full day without the feeding tube that has kept her alive for more than a decade. In a 2-1 ruling early Wednesday, a panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta said the parents "failed to demonstrate a substantial case on the merits of any of their claims" that Terri's feeding tube should be reinserted immediately. "There is no denying...

Judge Whittemore in court this afternoon requested of Schindler attorney David Gibbs a response to a brief by Schiavo attorney Felos questioning the constitutionality of legislation passed last night by U.S. Congress and signed by President Bush. Acknowledging that Terri’s life hangs in the balance, Judge Whittemore said to Gibbs that he acknowledged the “catch-22” he was being placed in, but he would like Gibbs to respond to the Felos brief before giving his ruling. Whittemore offered U.S. attorney Zimmerman the opportunity to join Gibbs in defending the constitutionality of the congressional action, but refused to require the justice department...

CHICAGO - (KRT) - On the eve of Terri Schiavo's 40th birthday, an independent guardian appointed at the behest of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush revealed Tuesday that secret talks to hammer out an agreement in the long-running dispute involving the brain-damaged woman broke down over the weekend. In his 38-page report to Bush, guardian Jay Wolfson, a University of South Florida professor and expert on health-care finances, said his behind-the-scenes efforts resulted in a "platform of understanding" that Schiavo's husband and parents - and the governor - tentatively agreed to before negotiations collapsed Sunday. Bob Schindler, Schiavo's father, said his...
