March 18, 2005 -- New York, NY

People across the nation are contacting the Governor's office encouraging him to utilize the Florida National Guard.

Under provisions of Florida Statute 250.28, the Governor may utilize the guard in order to execute the laws of the state when the local authorities are not able to.

Orders issued by Pinellas Circuit Judge George Greer are in clear violation Article I Section 2 of the Constitution of the State of Florida.

These orders have created confusion as to what course of action is to be taken by local authorities, and has resulted in a resistance to protecting the rights of Terri Schiavo.

Under Florida Statue 250.28, the Governor is given authority to use the National Guard to prevent resistance to the execution of state laws.

Dear Gov. Bush,

Under Article I Section 2 of the Constitution of the State of Florida, Terri Schiavo has the enumerated right to life. The State Constitution also states that "No person shall be deprived of any right because...physical handicap."

Pinellas Circuit Judge George Greer does not have the authority do deprive Terri of this right simply because she cannot communicate, and he is using this physical handicap to deprive her of this right, in clear violation of the State Constitution.

On order to enforce Terri's right to I encourage you to exercise your authority as Governor of Florida to ensure that she is protected.

Judge George Greer’s order to allow the tube to be removed will cause chaos at the local level. The local authorities will be prevented, by court order, from enforcing Terri's right to life as enumerated under the State Constitution. The only reason she is being deprived of this is due to her physical disabilities. Were she not disabled, she could defend herself.

The unconstitutional rulings issued by the judge have created a resistance to the execution of the laws and Constitution of Florida, a condition under which Florida Statute 250.28 gives you authority to utilize the Florida National Guard in order to eliminate such resistance. Please utilize the guard to ensure her feeding tube remains in place and her sustenance continued.

Sincerely

[OPS4]

DITTO!!!!!
OPs4 God BLess America!

[ConservativeMan55]

I pray that Gov. Bush uses the national guard.

This is an urgent situation.

FEEDING TUBE IS ALREADY REMOVED - He better act FAST!!!

[Mark in the Old South]

This is starting to get interesting. Will the Executive and Legislative Branches of the State and Federal government finally overthrow the Imperial Judiciary?

[1stFreedom]

Well, she's not gonna die this minute. The NG will have no problem getting the tube back in..

How many tanks does the Judge have?

[ContraryMary]

It is really scary how uninformed people are. Jeb can use the FL National Guard to enforce the law -- not to break the law. And Florida law says Terri should be allowed to die.

[gopwinsin04]

I would have Denny Hastert call for Judge Greer to come forward and accept the Congressional subpeona.

If he refuses, issue an arrest warrant and call in the National Guard or the US Marshals to put the feeding tube back in.

>>>And Florida law says Terri should be allowed to die.

So if 'the law' says that slavery should be reinacted, should it be?

[amosmoses]

No your wrong! In fact all the troops in Iraq and Afganistan should be withdrawn to adddress this national emergency!

[Dr. Frank fan]

And Florida law says Terri should be allowed to die.

There is no valid reason to believe that Terri "wants" to die. So to refer to starving her as "allowing" her to die is Orwellian and sick.

[GaltMeister]

Bumped and emailed!

[AuH2ORepublican]

Done!

Gritz in Florida

Former Green Beret James "Bo" Gritz - the man who plunged into Laos to find Americans missing in action from the Vietnam War - announced he had arrived in Pinellas County and plans to serve Michael Schiavo and Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge George Greer with "citizens arrest warrants."

[CitizenM]

You are very right on that point. This horrific case has tugged at all our hearts and wrangled all our sensibilities. People all over the world are conflicted on this moral issue. But, Terri is now in God's hands. Perhaps there will be some quick intervention to restore the tube. And then, hopefully, Terri's parents can have a chance to hold and comfort her for however long, and whatever state of life she exists. I offer my humble prayers.

For Terri:

[1stFreedom]

Obviously you don't know Florida Statutes nor the FL Constitution.

[Destro]

If she is in a vegetative state (I am assuming that she is) then she is technicaly brain dead if not defacto brain dead so the 'enumerated right to life' under the Florida Consitution does not apply.

I am against euthanasia but letting someone who is brain dead cease functioning is not euthanasia.

The problem to those not familiar with a vegetative state is that they think the person in that state in responding to them because there are facial gestures and eye following movememnt. In reality it is just a reflex action.
