PINELLAS PARK, Fl., March 11 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Faith
organizations and leaders are encouraging supporters to come to the
Woodside Hospice to stand in solidarity with Terri Schiavo if she
faces starvation and dehydration from the removal of her feeding
tube. The Woodside Hospice, where Terri Schiavo lives, is located at
6774 102nd Avenue N. (near 66th Street N and 102nd Avenue N) in
Pinellas Park, Florida.

The groups will begin a round-the-clock vigil on Wednesday, March
16th at 12:00 P.M. Organizers to hold prayer vigils, rallies, and
peaceful activist and cutting edge public events.

Rev. Rob Schenck, President of the National Clergy Council, states,
"If the feeding tube is removed, we are asking people of good will to
come from all across the nation to stand in solidarity with our
sister Terri and the Schindler family. It is essential that we send a
loud and clear message that in America we do not starve people facing
physical and mental challenges. We love and care for them."

Troy Newman, Director of Operation Rescue West, comments, "If Terri
were a convicted serial killer, she would be afforded more civil and
legal rights then she is being given right now. It is illegal to
starve an animal in America. How can we possibly allow this to happen
to a human being?"

Brandi Swindell, National Director of Generation Life, shares, "I
hope and pray thousands come to Florida to stand with our dear sister
Terri. We must prayerfully do all that we can to save her life and
ensure this never happens again."

Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition,
adds, "If Terri's feeding tube is removed, it is critical that that
the faith community and people of good will publicly stand against
this horrible injustice and evil. Our prayer is that thousands will
come to Pinellas Park and send a clear and powerful message to our
courts and political leaders that all life is sacred and has dignity.
Not only are working to save the life of Terri Schiavo, and the many
others in her condition, we are working to save the future soul of
our nation."
