That's terrible to hear. I can't imagine why he would allow this to happen! If he's known about these allegations for over a year and hasn't done anything, then why did he tell us a couple days ago to remain calm because he was doing everything in his power to save Terri?
According to Florida law it is illegal to withhold food and water from a patient who is able to swallow. Greer broke Florida law when he ruled that Terri could not have ice chips, jello, or anything by mouth. That should be reason enough right there for Jeb Bush to act. Why isn't he?
I still intend to shine the light on these allegations against Greer and his cronies whether this will save Terri or not. Maybe, it will save others who may suffer her fate in the future if this info is not spread far and wide.
I have already contacted Hannity, Drudge, terrisfight, and helpterri. I need to know who else to contact. (I'm strictly an internet person; I don't watch TV or listen to talk radio so my knowledge of who to get in touch with is somewhat limited.) Any ideas on who else I can contact? I will see if I can get in touch with Ann Coulter and David Horowitz. Maybe, G. Gordon Liddy would help. If I have to, I will even hold my nose and email Ralph Nader.
I'm not dropping this. More lives are at stake than solely Terri's, IMHO.
Schmelvin,
I suppose it couldn't hurt to email this stuff to Tom Delay and Bill Frist. Even if they can't do anything in time or directly, maybe they can point some people in the right direction. After that, I'd suggest the members of the Florida Legislature that voted in Terri's favor. It might take a little research to find out who they are, but it would be worth it.
Thanks. I tried to contact DeLay and Frist and Ron Paul, but they prefer to hear from their own constituency, not people from other states. DeLay even asks for a 9-digit Texas zip code.
I did email the FBI office in Tampa and the DCF in Florida, though. I've also contacted Sean Hannity, Matt Drudge, G. Gordon Liddy, Ann Coulter, David Horowitz, Thomas Sowell, terrisfight, helpterri, and even Ralph Nader.
I suppose I could always start posting the info on other message boards. I'm a night owl, so I'll be up for a few more hours.
Hi Schmelvin,
Try to send Tom Delay a message at this url: http://www.majorityleader.gov/. As can be seen from the address, it's the office of the Majority Leader. Sorry I'm on and off the computer tonight. Stopped to watch Passion of the Christ - talk about eerie parallels.
I think I took a similar tact in contacting Bill Frist. I think you got most of the ones I'd aim for but I'll try Glen Beck and Jim Quinn (our local guy). Thanks so much for your diligence.
God bless you for trying to get the truth out to the light of day where it can do some good!
This case has reeked of "good ol' boys" to me since I started paying attention to it. Now, mind you, I grew up in a small town in Texas and therefore am aware that there *is* a good side to good ol' boyism ... but there is also a dark, ugly side, and that needs to go away. (Preferably before Terri does, poor soul!!!)
Oh. I'm glad you weren't upset at the thread's posted information, the information seemed important.
I was wrapped up in emotion for Terri and her plight, and had a hard time understanding your sarcasm (or the need for your sarcasm) on the thread. I guess we all have different sensibilities.
After I read your remark, I checked your history of posts on the Schiavo topic and I found that have a good and decent perspective on her, so the intention of your post # 4 became a little more clear.
Btw, are you still a big Rush fan?
...Greer has refused to appoint a new guardian ad litem [for Terri Schiavo], acting in the role himself---prohibited by Canon 3 of the state Code of Judicial Conduct. No judge may serve as a guardian unless the ward is a member of his own family...
More information, please, including the remainder of the Code.
Hello again Schmelvin,
I sent the news to Jim Quinn (and Rose), Glenn Beck (and Stu), and WorldNet Daily (though I believe they're already on to it). Keep up the Good Fight!!!

Thomas More Law Center: Schiavo Authority(PDF)
It has been reported that under the auithority of Governor Bush that FDLE and DCF were enroute to remove Terri BUT for reasons unknown decided to terminate the effort. WHY???
I have had my thinking cap on and would suggest that Governor Bush as executive is responsible for the common good of Florida and the protection of all citizens including Terri. As such, he is between a rock and a hard place... He does not wish an armed conflict between Pinellas Park police officers and FDLE -potential worst case scenario would be for several police and bystanders to possibly be killed and injured in an effort to rescue one innocent woman...
I would suggest that IF the Pinellas Park police officers were not there that Governor Bush would act. Additionally, IF Governor Bush had authority over the Pinellas Park police officers he would order them to stand down and he would act.
Therefore, in my opinion, the question is HOW can Governor Bush gain authority over the Pinellas Park police officers? Any ideas???
If they are from the Sheriff's dept. they are officers of the Court and don't answer to any executive. I found that out only recently. They are totally in Greer's pocket and personally loyal to him and his cronies.
Not familiar with the rest...are there city police as well, and who do they answer to?
A FReeper protestor was there and engaged some officers in discussion. The men expressed pride that they had held at bay the Governor and the President. Even if Jeb gained technical control, which I do not see how, he would not truly have control over them. I agree with you that were it not for those enemy police with their armaments, plainclothes spies among protestors and snipers on rooftops, Jeb Bush would have acted.
The sad fact is, Greer held all the high cards and played them all out. He set up an armed camp around the hospice many days ago, while Jeb waited for the FL Senate or some Court to help Terri, which never happened.
