(October 21, 2003 was the date that Terri's feeding tube was ordered
reinserted after being removed on October 15, 2003 and Terri being
denied all food and liquids by mouth for the same length of time as
well. Terri had to wait for many hours longer than she should have
to even be given an IV with water in it on October 21, 2003. It was
not until the following day, October 22nd, that Terri finally
received liquid nutrition through her feeding tube once again!
See below - Also read about denial of Terri's rights):

October 21st 5:00PM
The Executive Order signed by Governor Bush to immediately begin
hydration and nutrition was received at Hospice by both fax
transmission and official delivery. Hospice refused to reinsert the
feeding tube, claiming there was no medical personnel to do so,
despite the fact that they were the ones who removed it on October
15th. They promised to transfer Terri to a local hospital as
quickly as possible.

In addition, two medical doctors had been summoned to Hospice and
were denied entrance to perform the procedure as indicated by
Governor Jeb Bush. They were also denied access to observe the
patient and her condition.

6:30PM
An ambulance arrived to take Terri to Morton Plant Hospital in
Clearwater. Upon arrival at the hospital, medical staff refused to
comply with the Governor's order to re-insert her feeding tube or an
IV, stating they had been threatened with litigation by Michael
Schiavo's attorneys if any medical care was given to Terri. At
approximately 9:30PM an IV was inserted.

Michael Schiavo has denied visitation at the hospital to all members
of Terri's family.

A request for immediate appointment of a guardian ad litem to
protect Terri's medical interests and physical well being was denied
by Judge David A. Demers.

In light of the fact that the court order to provide therapy for
Terri Schiavo under the malpractice settlement has been denied by
the husband; that he has access to Terri and can cause her harm and
that he clearly does not represent her best interests, we request
immediate intervention to:

1) Appoint a guardian ad litem to protect Terri Schiavo's interests
and ensure she is given proper medical treatment.

2) Openan immediate criminal investigation which has never been
conducted in this case.

3) Block the cremation of Terri's body should death ensue, so that
evidence is not destroyed.

4) Restore the rights of visitation and access to the family.



On Behalf of Theresa Maria Schiavo - Violation of Civil Rights
Against the Handicapped



We the undersigned family, friends and medical caregivers of Theresa
(Terri) Maria Schiavo request an immediate investigation and
emergency intervention to stop her starvation dehydration death due
to the following violations of her civil rights under the US
Constitution:



Denial of Civil Rights by Michael Schiavo, husband:



By court order in a malpractice suit filed by Michael Schiavo in
1993, $700,000.00 of the settlement was to be used exclusively for
Theresa's rehabilitation. To date, no rehabilitation, medical or
physical therapy has ever been provided to Terri.



Upon receipt of the award in 1993 medical records were ordered
sealed by Michael Schiavo. Ten years later these records were
unsealed and would reveal massive injury and a history of possible
domestic violence and abuse.



While under nursing home and hospice care, Michael Schiavo ordered
no physical therapy, oral feeding or treatment for Terri. He further
directed that Terri only be sustained in a nursing home which is
contrary to the intent of the award money. Michael Schiavo has on
two occasions unsuccessfully attempted to end Terri's life by
instructing her caretakers not to medicate Terri for potentially
fatal infections, the first of which occurred less than nine months
after receiving the malpractice award money.

As Terri's legal guardian, her husband has used her medical fund
money to offset the legal costs when his guardianship of Terri was
initially challenged and to pay the current legal costs to have
Terri's life ended.

May 1, 2000 A Court hearing was cancelled after Michael Schiavo
verbally committed to sign an agreement that Terri will get the
necessary medical treatment at Hospice.

June 18, 2000 – After reneging on his previously agreed terms of the
agreement, Michael Schiavo later signed an amended agreement stating
he will not withdraw or terminate Terri's medical care or treatment
for potential fatal infections, without prior notice to the court.



Denial of Civil Rights by Judge Greer:



February 2000 – Judge Greer condemns Terri to death by
dehydration/starvation without any clear and convincing evidence as
required by statute. There is no written living directive.



March 2000 – Sworn affidavits provided to the court by three
physicians that Terri is able to eat. Judge Greer denies a petition
to the court to perform swallowing tests on Terri, part of her court-
ordered therapy.



Judge Greer further authorized personal security personnel costs for
Michael Schiavo to be taken from Terri's medical fund.



May 7, 2001 – Dr. Hammesfahr (neurology), filed a six page affidavit
with the court stating Terri was not in a Persistent Vegetative
State, accompanied by a formal letter requesting Schiavo's
permission to allow Terri to begin rehabilitation treatment; request
denied.



September 26, 2001 – A three-member panel consisting of Judges Jerry
Parker, Chris Altenbernd and John Blue presided at the Appellate
Court "oral argument hearing." The core of the appeal is that Judge
Greer did not follow the Appellate Court's July 11, 2001
instructions. Judge Greer admitted he ignored the doctors' sworn
opinions and summarily rejected additional evidence that
unmistakably proved Michael Schiavo lied to the court at the
original trial.

NOTE: NO CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION HAS EVER BEEN CONDUCTED IN THIS CASE
AND ATTEMPTS TO DEMAND SUCH INVESTIGATION HAVE BEEN SUMMARILY DENIED
AND BLOCKED UNDER COURT ORDER OF JUDGE GREER. IMMEDIATE CREMATION OF
THE BODY WILL OCCUR UPON HER DEATH, THUS DESTROYING ALL CRIMINAL
EVIDENCE.



Denial of Civil Rights by Michael Schiavo's appointed physicians:



There is no court order to deny Terri Schiavo oral feeding. This
was put in place by Michael Schiavo's appointed doctors, in direct
violation of the previous court orders to provide therapy and
rehabilitation for Terri.



Denial of Civil Rights by Pinellas Park Police, Michael Schiavo and
his attorneys:

On October 15th at 2:00PM Terri's feeding tube was removed.
Although the court does not deny the right to provide oral hydration
or feeding, the doctor's orders to hospice are to prohibit any type
of oral feeding.



On October 18th, 19th and 20th Monsignor Thaddeus Malanowski was
refused the right to administer Holy Communion to Terri as part of
her Catholic Last Rites. This order was expressed directly by
Michael Schiavo, his attorneys and the local police guarding Terri's
room who told the priest they would "stop him if he attempted to
give her Holy Communion."



It is a criminal violation to abuse, neglect or exploit a disabled
person, all of which have been perpetrated on Terri Schaivo and we
petition your immediate intervention and investigation.
