Here is more from the Christian Wire Service:
Bob Schindler Sr., Father of Terri Schindler Schiavo has released the following statement: "Our family has asked Randall Terry and his staff to once again coordinate the efforts to rescue Terri from the clutches of death by judicial homicide. We ask you to help my daughter, Terri, by following Randall's lead, and cooperating with and supporting the efforts we have asked him to undertake. We thank you with all our hearts for your concern for our daughter, and for your help in trying to save her.""Terri Schindler Schiavo, although disabled, is not in a coma. She is not in a vegetative state. She laughs, and cries, she says yes and no. She has clearly communicated that she does not want to be starved to death. We are gathering a coalition of activists, public policy groups, churches, political leaders, and religious leaders from across the nation to stand with Terri's family in the fight to save her life. We are calling on people of good will to do everything in their power to save Terri from starvation." -- Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue and the president of the Society for Truth and Justice
"[In 2003] Our family asked Randall Terry to come, and we gave him carte blanche to put Terri's fight in front of the American people. He did exactly what we asked, and more. Randall organized vigils and protests, he coordinated the media, he helped us meet with Governor Bush, which gave us the momentum to pass the law that has saved Terri, for now, from death. My daughter is alive today because of Randall Terry's efforts." -- Bob Schindler Sr., Father of Terri Schindler Schiavo
