Marketing Firm Sells List of Schiavo Donors

The parents of Terri Schiavo, a brain-damaged Florida woman at the center of a right-to-life controversy, have authorized a conservative direct-mailing firm to sell a list of their financial supporters. The firm, Response Unlimited, is asking $150 a month for 6,000 names and $500 a month for 4,000 e-mail addresses of people who responded last month to an e-mail plea from Ms. Schiavo's father.
