When I first read this I was annoyed as I am going to be one of those on the list. However, as a staunch supporter of Terri and the Schindler family, I can understand why they agreed to sell the list.Someone offered them money and they see this as an opportunity to generate needed funds to help fight for their daughter's life. I am quite sure they are desperate at this, the 11th hour.I would do the same for my own child, if I were in their position. Remember the horrors of what they are going through and don't be too hard on them just now.
***God bless you, Terri***

Schindlers Selling Mailing List of People Who Donated to Terri
I realize the Schindlers have a lot of expenses, but this seems to be in poor taste. "The parents of Terri Schiavo have authorized a conservative direct-mailing firm to sell a list of their financial supporters, making it likely that thousands of stra...

So, it is all about the money then.
Who would have guessed?

"Amazing."

No, not 'amazing.' Sickening.

This is GRAVE ROBBING of the worst kind. I will NEVER ever lend my support to any other form of online petition from this day forward, regardless of it's political or social message.

Anticipatory grief is probably affecting their decisions, so I hope he didn't realize what he did when he agreed to this. But still: Ewwww!

This isn't a traditional charity, though, but rather a group of people supposedly trying to help out a specific family in a tragic situation.

I find this pretty appalling, although there seems to be some dispute over whether or not the Schindler's understood this is what they were doing.

But selling donor lists is apparantly a pretty common occurance among almost all charities now-right, left or unaffiliated.

I was appalled at the parents of Terri Schiavo "renting" out the use of the list of financial contributors. Just as I am appalled that Michael Schiavo stands to inherit money from starving his wife to death!!!!!!! In this country it is apparent to me that nothing, even a human life is sacred anymore........as long as there is a buck to be made somewhere for someone. SICK!

Schiavo's Parents Sell Donor List
I am honestly shocked at this. Just stunningly ridiculous. The parents of Terri Schiavo have authorized a conservative direct-mailing firm to sell a list of their financial supporters, making it likely that thousands of strangers moved by her plight wi...
