Michael Schiavo Takes on Privacy Campaign

[AnOhioan]

DENVER Jul 13, 2006 (AP)— The man who last year won a bruising battle to disconnect his brain-damaged wife from a feeding tube is campaigning against government intrusion around the country.

The political action committee formed by Michael Schiavo whose wife, Terri, died after a seven-year court and political fight that reached Capitol Hill has raised about $25,000 and is targeting races in Colorado, Florida and Texas.

Schiavo came to Colorado on Wednesday to support Democratic candidates for the U.S. House, including Angie Paccione, who is challenging Rep. Marilyn Musgrave. Musgrave spoke last year on the floor of the House against allowing Terri Schiavo's feeding tube to be removed.

"I want to ask Marilyn Musgrave who gave her the right to speak about Terri," Schiavo said. "Who gave her the authority to bring Congress into my family decisions?"

1. Actually I'd like him to do just the opposite

Target "christian" families with loved ones in hospitals or under hospice care or in nursing homes and barge into their abodes with cameras rolling and people with political signs of whatever persuasion shouting in the background; whatever the family wants will be opposed vociferously and hatefully and as publicly as possible.
