Conservative Groups' Support Steady

About four years ago, a Catholic-school science teacher named Bobby Schindler appeared before a board meeting of the antiabortion group Florida Right to Life to tell the activists about his older sister, one Terri Schiavo. Attendees, who were gathered around tables at an Assemblies of God church in Winter Park, recall Schindler saying that his sister was disabled, and that her husband was basically trying to kill her.
"We were appalled," said Lynda Bell, a board member since 1989. "The first thing we did was, many of us began to open up our checkbooks."

The donations were small, Bell said -- maybe five or 10, each for $25 or $50.


On edit all these fools are milking the wallets of the sheep

AND THE SHEEP DESERVE IT.

1. Oh. So it was her brother who got the RW fundies in on this deal...

I wonder how much of this money is going into his pockets.
Sorry guess I am just very cynical.
Terri and Michael got all that money from the malpractice suit and the poor brother had to sit and watch it all got to Terri's medical care. Not one dime for him.
Wonder how pissed off that made him. hmmmmmmm Wonder who is auditing all that money from the RW Fundie groups that is supposed to be going to the lawyers. Or maybe they are actually giving it directly to him as a payoff for getting them this high profile case and being such a willing partiicpant and bad mouthing his brother-in-law for the good of the cause.
