Keith Olbermann of MSNBC Viciously Attacks Terri Supporter

Dear Friends,

An alarming anti-life trend is taking shape in official Washington as President Elect Barack Obama starts filling posts at the Justice Department. Attorney Thomas Perelli, you may recall, was assigned by the ACLU to promote the judicial killing of my sister Terri.

Today, this man stands nominated by President Elect Obama for a top deputy attorney general spot at the justice department.

As you probably know, our struggle at Terri’s Foundation is against those who not only disregard the sanctity of life, but have publicly proclaimed they are working to promote a culture of death.

And news media bias promoting the killing of the severely disabled like Terri is well known, but it's not often that a media commentator so openly displays his vicious hatred of those who simply love life as Keith Olbermann did January 6, 2009 on MSNBC:



Can you believe that? The WRONG side--legally and morally? What is morally wrong about preventing someone from being dehydrated to death? What is legally wrong with protecting the life of someone who is innocent, not terminally ill, and who simply wants to live? And I'm not merely talking about Terri.

Did you know that right now, today, in hospitals from coast to coast "ethics boards" are seeking to remove food and water from those who are not terminally ill? Did you know that in all but ten states--without legal and medical intervention--the hospitals have been empowered to do so?

And since Terri passed away we have been asked to help in over 500 cases providing legal and medical referrals which have culminated in saving hundreds of innocent lives.

You can expect such attacks to continue from every corner of the print and electronic media these next four years and beyond. And we must all take up the fight in our churches, organizations, and through involvement in public or elected life.

This is why Terri’s Foundation works day to day, down in the trenches not only to correct our mainstream media prejudice against persons like Terri, but more importantly, to help families in their struggles with hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, and courts seeking to withdraw food and water from those who can't speak for themselves.

And we are the only organization doing so. But we can not do it without your help. And unfortunately too many people just learn about these issues, far too late. The need since Terri has grown larger, not smaller, and we have plans to put people and resources in every state, for immediate response, to save the lives of those whose rights are being ignored. Time is short, but it’s not too late. We can help turn this tide. But not without you!

Please join us . . .

Terri's Foundation is doing our best to make a difference - but we continue to be in great need of your help!

Please pray to consider donating a meaningful part of your giving to the work of Terri's foundation today! Whether it is $25, $50, $100, $1000, or more - no gift is too small.

Thank you,

Bobby Schindler
