We need to remove that line "land of the free, home of the brave" in reference to poor Terri. Hitler must be guffawing from the pits of hell now!
This is so sad, is there anything else that can be done?
God Bless this brave woman!
"On several occasions, Terri’s family has brought some of Terri’s favorite music CD’s for Terri so that she can listen with earphones. In order to play Terri these CD’s, the Hospice nurses must first phone Michael Schiavo to ask permission. Without any reason given, >>> Michael Schiavo refuses to allow Terri’s family to play her these CD’s. <<<As has been often noted, we are not allowed to treat prisoners or animals the way Ms. Schiavo is treated.One occasion in particular, Terri’s mother, Mary Schindler, played Terri a CD in the portable CD player. Mrs. Schindler was reprimanded by Michael Schiavo when this incident prompted the nurses to phone him inquiring what Mrs. Schindler was doing.
This restriction continues, and Terri is not permitted to listen to music via headphones."
------------------------------------------------------------
Apparently the only rights that are important to Michael Schiavo are those that will lead to her death.
I'm so glad to see you.
I can't believe that one person can have such control over another as to restrict them from going outdoors, having pictures to look, flowers to smell, music to listen to, or any type of stimulation for that matter.
Every parent here knows that if you were to place the same restrictions upon your child that Michael has placed upon Terri and DCF knew about it you'd be in very hot water!!
787.02 False imprisonment; false imprisonment of child under age 13, aggravating circumstances.--
(1)(a) The term "false imprisonment" means forcibly, by threat, or secretly confining, abducting, imprisoning, or restraining another person without lawful authority and against her or his will.
(2) A person who commits the offense of false imprisonment is guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
Very well done, mary!
The rights that have been denied this woman and her family have created an extraordinarily harsh situation for a supposedly free society.
Thank you.
Terri following instructions to open her eyes and turn to face the doctor. THIS IS NOT A CIVIL MATTER. IT IS A CRIME, THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY. Government handing a disabled American a death warrant.
The King of Spain is outraged. I hope he speaks Espanol to Jeb Bush and President Bush about this crisis.

URL or press article about the Spanish King's position?
Hopefully this can be parlayed into movement to protect and save Terri.
Bump!
By the way, yesterday was Jeb's birthday and we're so busy with Terri, I don't think anybody noted that Jeb turned 52. Happy Birthday Jeb and now put Terri into protective custody. You're a big boy now.
Terri ping! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!
Actually, reading this makes my blood boil!! It can be nothing but DELIBERATE on the part of Judge Greer to be a party to such CRUELTY and CORRUPT TYRANNY!! This girl is in grave danger as all appeals have run out and IF Governor Bush does not step in it's over. And it will be over quite soon I'm afraid. I have prayed fervently and continually for Terri to be released from this man imposed bondage. However it came to me just the other day that it is WE, God's people, who are HIS hand and feet and mouthpieces on this earth and God makes sure we are supported and surrounded by a host of angels to assist and protect us. It is therefore God's people that must take the physical action to rescue this girl from certain murder.
Ok, I'm no lawyer, and perhaps I missed it somewhere, but why is it this one, singular judge has total jurisdiction in this case?
Good question. Three reasons that I can see: (1) cases related to the same parties are assigned automatically to the same judge, since it is presumed that judge will be more familiar with the cases and will not have to spend time informing themselves about the case background; (2) judges are supposed to recuse themselves if a conflict of interest exists, but are trusted to make that determination for themselves; (3) the appeals court system is predicated upon judges honestly reporting the bases for their decisions and fairly considering evidence; if a judge claims to have looked at evidence he in fact did not, the appeals court can do nothing about it.
Bump!
You are right - we are our brother's keepers and are responsible to defend the most vulnerable. I'm all for hiring mercenaries to take to directly to Walter Reed for impartial evaluation. I'd be happy to donate.
Also, I have no knowledge of the law but, if the worst happens, can we Freepers file a wrongful death suit - perhaps in another state?
