Hi,

We are forwarding a press release from the Terri Schindler Schiavo
Foundation and Priests for Life about Terri's Day, March 31st, the 4th
anniversary of the killing of Terri Schiavo. Having been very involved
in the fight to protect Terri, having read her medical records and the
testimony of her doctors, having spoken directly with her family, I know
that the Associated Press (and others who wanted to kill her) lied about
Terri's condition, repeating in thousands of articles misleading
untruths that got repeated again and again. "Repeat a lie long enough
and people will believe it." Pure propaganda. The Associated Press
writers also regularly refused to print the truth about her as explained
by other doctors or family members.

If you want to know what really happened, take a look at the dozens of
documents we have posted for years on our website at:
http://www.hospicepatients.org/terri-schindler-schiavo-docs-links-page.html

If you wish to read a book that details and proves that Terri was not in
a persistent vegetative state and proves she was neglected and abused,
and proves that the courts were unjust in almost everything they did, read:

Most Americans believe that Terri had a heart attack or had an eating
disorder, or that "everything was done for her" in rehab. She never had
a heart attack, nor did she have an eating disorder, nor was anything
done for her in rehab. Treatment was withheld in order to manipulate
her decline, year after year. Her mistreatment is among the saddest,
most malicious cases in our nation. It was a case of neglect and abuse
backed by the courts which were pro-death. The judge never allowed
proper rehab, nor proper medical examination of Terri. Everything was
"fixed" so that she would die. A kangaroo court with lethal goals.

And thousands of others are quietly snuffed out in health "care"
settings all around our nation. The government is silent about these
killings, but most people know how easy it is to manipulate a death:
withhold medications or treatments that are needed, give medications
that sedate the patient into a coma, overdose them with opioid
medications that shut down their breathing, drop their blood pressure
and end their lives. It's happening. Hospice leaders I've spoken with
admit it's happening, and happening against the wishes of the patients
and their families.

Speak out, pray, share the truth. Stand up for life, and please share
this email with others you know. The media is NOT going to do this. You
need to.

See Press Release below.

Best wishes!

If people contemplate and really see the sanctity of life, their
"quality of life" arguments fall away and they will understand that we
are here to care for each other, not to kill each other. Caring, and not
convenience, is the sign of a civilized and just society!

The needs are great, and none of us,
including me, ever do great things.
But we can all do small things, with great love,
and together we can do something wonderful." - Mother Teresa

“Terri's Day” to be observed in Remembrance of Terri Schiavo

NEW YORK, January 8 — Terri’s Foundation and Priests for Life once again
invite individuals, families, Churches and organizations to observe the
"International Day of Prayer and Remembrance for Terri Schindler
Schiavo, and All of Our Vulnerable Brothers and Sisters" ("Terri's Day")
on March 31, the fourth anniversary of Terri's death.

The two organizations established this day last year. Its purpose is to
foster education, prayer, and activism regarding discrimination against
the disabled, and advocacy for people in situations similar to what
Terri and her family faced.

Suzanne Vitadamo, Terri's sister, and Bobby Schindler, her brother,
stated on behalf of the family, “Sadly, our recent headlines are a clear
indication that what happened to Terri is only getting worse. We are
seeing that many of our institutions caring for our most vulnerable are
being encouraged to devalue the sanctity of human life. Indeed, this is
influenced by a very strong pro-death movement continuing to work very
hard to legitimize euthanasia and assisted suicide.”

Fr. Frank Pavone, who was with Bobby and Suzanne at Terri’s bedside as
she was dying, said, "As we consoled Terri and prayed with her, what I
felt most strongly was the presence of countless people around the world
who, by their love, prayers, and tears, accompanied Terri and her family
through those difficult days. I am confident that these same
individuals, families, and Churches will want to observe Terri’s Day."

Materials to assist the observance of Terri’s Day can be found at
www.TerrisDay.org.

Priests for Life (www.priestsforlife.org) is the largest Catholic
organization exclusively dedicated to fighting abortion and euthanasia.

Terri's Foundation (www.TerrisFight.org) is dedicated to promoting the
Culture of Life, embracing the true meaning of compassion by opposing
the practice of euthanasia.
