ty for posting...this is so wrong.
Glenn trying to reach granddaughter. Kenneth said she got 2-3,000 phone calls from 'bloggers' yesterday, and apparantly he knows no other way to reach her. Well, I wonder what school she works for, or where her husband works...
Sent urgent email to all these people. Here's what I wrote:
I understand from World Net Daily that a non-comatose, non-terminal, disabled elderly woman is being starved and dehydrated to death in a hospice in Georgia. She is being held at Hospice-LaGrange in La Grange, Georgia. Here is a link to the article:
http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=43688
I do not understand why a non-terminal woman is being denied food and water. She made the mistake of creating a Living Will but even with that problem, the condition she is in does not meet the criteria she set forth in the document. Ms. Magouirk is not comatose, nor was she terminally ill. She was recovering from heart surgery and was sedated when she was moved to a hospice.
I request that you immediately use your authority to investigate this case to determine why state laws were not followed. Apparently a person named Beth Gaddy falsely claimed she had medical power of attorney and moved her grandmother to the hospice. Other family members are disputing her authority and want to save their grandmother's life.
Please take action today! A woman's life depends on it!

Just heard the nephew say on Glenn Beck that David Gibbs has voluntered to help them.
got that right - and we'd better start yelling "Geronimo!" and get the chutes open
Where is AARP????
WE need to let them "know we know" and get them on it! They are, if not the most powerful, the next to most powerful organization in America - and this certainly is an issue they should address.
(I'd ask "where is the ACLU"? - but I'm afraid I know that answer
Of course, I'm just trying to figure out who to email first.
You're welcome ... this is all VERY wrong.
I'm glad Glenn Beck is on this, hopefully Rush and Hannity and others will be also.
they never expected this to get away from them. They thought they had it all set years ago, that Terri would be quietly gone, like so many other thousands (?) ... but thanks to loving parents and siblings, it got outed.
But they were so deep in, they couldn't get out - they had a lot to cover up...
Kenneth says that due to this situation, his own mother, who was not in the best shape herself, is now in the hospital. I don't know if I'm more outraged or scared of what is happening in this country. Burn your living wills, as they are not worth the paper they are printed on!
Lving wills are a death sentence. Get a Will to Live from the National Right to Life organization!
the lie - (where have you been?) on the hospice admitting form in 2000 that Terri was PVS, terminal and not expected to live more than 6 months (a legal requisite for anyone admitted to a hospice in to be terminal with no m ore than 6 month life expectancy) -
In addition, tho' an admitting doctor's name is listed, the doctor DID NOT sign in either space for it - and he left the hospice.
Does this suffice?
David Gibbs is a great attorney. When there are crooked judges, that is where the problem lies.
I sent email to all the legislators in Georgia as well as Governor Perdue. Anyone else you can think of? I'm in Arizona.
? American Association of Retired Persons (or something like that); they're no better than the ACLU....I believe I've read they donate to hospice; O'Reilly has been condemning them as liberal activists....they are not on the side of LIFE.
Oh, yes - of COURSE she was "expected" to only live 2 weeks - that IS the window for one starved/hydrated to death.
But she was not terminal if she continued to be be given food and water - she was, except for brain damage (NOT PVS!) healthy and had a life expectancy of another 40+ years - which is EXACTLY why michael was able to get such a large settlement in "order to pay for her prolonged therapy."
got a clue yet?
LET'S BUST THIS HOSPICE-JUDICIAL MACHINE WIDE OPEN. This must end.
called the governor's office. On to the next calls!!!!!!
Glenn Beck just said he's calling SEAN HANNITY today re: Mae. Glenn wants everyone to call talk radios. List will be at www.glennbeck.com of radio talk show hosts.
