Michael Schiavo, the husband of Terri Schiavo, has decided to start a Political Action Committee to act as a watchdog against government issues and intrusions, like those faced by Terri and Michael at the end of Terri's life:

Schiavo states: "my experience with our political leaders has opened my eyes to just how easily the private wishes of normal Americans like me and Terri can be cast aside in the destructive game of political pandering. The best way to hold them accountable is to make sure voters know where the candidates stand when they come looking for votes next November."

"Those politicians lost a basic respect for marriage, family and personal privacy," Schiavo said. "Their blind obstruction of my wife's wishes and the legal courts orders that enforced them was a sickening exercise in raw political power."

The new federal PAC, TerriPAC, will raise money to "educate voters on where their elected officials stood when they had a choice between individual freedom and personal privacy and overreaching government action."
. . .

"It would be easy to dismiss my actions as partisan. But I was a lifelong Republican before Republicans pushed the power of government into my private family decisions," Schiavo said. "And it is not so simple to forget those politicians who shamelessly sought to squeeze political leverage out of my family's most emotional hour."

TerriPAC will request donations through its Internet site (www.TerriPAC.org).

I think I found someplace else to send a donation.
