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?"

To the Ft. Collins Coloradoan:
Editor,
"Wednesday, Michael Schiavo said Musgrave "had no clue" about Terri Schiavo's medical condition, noting that his wife's autopsy showed her brain was half the size of a normal woman her age."
Hmmmm?
Could the 13 day starvation/dehydration regime Terri's husband demanded
have led to her brain's shrinkage?
A recent North Country Gazette article noted that, "Drs. Thogmorton and Nelson claimed Terri's brain weighed
615 grams (about 50% weight.) But Thogmorton also stated this was the worst case of dehydration
he had ever seen. "Her body cavities were completely dry!"
Because the brain is 75% water Terri's brain undoubtedly was diminished by such abuse.
Congresswoman Musgrave's concern for the appalling mistreatment of a completely innocent
woman's torture is to be commended.
Michael's small minded obsession with discarding one wife for another is to be pitied.
For his big money handlers won't be able to shield him from the coming judgment
of the evil he perpetrated.
