STOP BASHING THE BUSHES OVER TERRI!

Posted on 03/29/2005 8:59:46 AM PST by Kings18-37

GET THIS OUT OF POLITICS!

Please stop bashing everyone, even Greer. It’s not going to save Terri. What’s done is done , for now.

The only thing that will save Terri is massive bipartisan support- a MERCY COALITION- among ALL Americans.

Don’t pressure and call our allies (Pubs), because they are either with us, or the Rinos are under the covers. It’s a waste of time.

Instead, reach out and call to people like Lieberman, Jackson, Harkin, Nader, and even Barney Franks- a bi-partisan coalition.

. Today, Pinkerton wrote in Newsday, “Opinion polls tell us that most Americans don't think that politicians should have gotten involved in this case. Fair enough. But the facts of Schiavo v. Schindler tell us something else: The law is an ass.

Whatever the legalisms of this case, it's hard to believe that anyone ever envisioned a situation in which an estranged husband could make the decision to kill off - oops, make that "dehydrate" to death - his unconscious wife, overriding the strenuous opposition of the woman's parents and siblings.

Lawmakers are scrambling to catch up. On the conservative side, Sen. Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) has announced plans for hearings on the Schiavo case. His interest is to preserve what Catholics call "the culture of life." But liberals, notably Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), are also anxious to explore the impact that the Schiavo case might have on the rights of the disabled. In politics, whenever the right and the left identify the same problem - even if they use different terminology things are certain to change”

MAKE THAT CHANGE NOW! APPEAL to DEMS in the sense of mercy and compassion. ONLY if we get their support, can we save Terri! We already have the Pubs.

WE CAN DO IT!

NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! Churchill

ANDRE LENOGE: "Where is Congress? Where are the Senators? Where are the Congresspeople?
Nobody knows. There has only been only one case like this in all of American history.
That was Roanoke Island, North Carolina in 1587 when everyone disappeared. Every man, woman and child.
Today the Congress is empty of sentient people but there was word carved on the side of the Senate, "Croaton".
Hope is dimming for the missing residents of the US Congress.
But I know one thing. They will all be replaced in the next election."


Senators (in Unison): We are sorry Judge Greer. We are sorry Judge Greer. We will give you what you want.
We will give you what you want. We are sorry Judge Greer. We will give you what you want.


Judgenfuhrer Greer: "March 29. I have proven the US Congress and its toliet paper subpoenas
are NOTHING but pussies and a bucket of warm spit.
Payback for 2000 as I micturate on 18 USC Section 1505 and Title 2 of the US code."

This should be in General Chat, Bloggers but not here. You are entitled to your opinions but there should be consequences for those who are, IMO, on the wrong side of this thing or who didn't follow through on their expressed convictions.

We need a scapegoat and the men in black gang of bullies and thugs really are responsible.

If we keep fighting amongst ourselves as we have been then those who have been so effective in killing Terri, will have a double victory because they have taken us out too! Cease the circular firing squads....please!

Remember the NewsMax of last Friday. Greer received a $250 contribution from Felos the day after the law to protect Terri Schiavo was overturned by the florida courts...

This is th 'tip of the iceberg' of what Terri and her family are up against.

Here’s where Terri Schiavo Insurance money went:

These funds, the result of a malpractice suit, were meant solely to provide for Terri Schiavo’s care and rehabilitation.
=======================================================================================
Atty. Gwyneth Stanley - $10,668.05
Atty. Deborah Bushnell - $65,607.00
Atty. Steve Nilson - $7,404.95
Atty. Pacarek - $1,500.00
Atty. Richard Pearse (GAL) - $4,511.95
Atty. George Felos - $397,249.99
1st Union/South Trust Bank – $55,459.85
Michael Schiavo - $10,929.95
Total: $545,852.34


Neglect and abuse complaints is that Michael Schiavo:

* Has not allowed therapy or rehabilitation since late 1992.
* Has prevented swallowing tests or swallowing therapy since 1993.
* Ordered caretakers not to clean Terri's teeth since 1995, resulting in removal of five teeth in April 2004.
* Placed Terri in hospice in 2000, despite the fact she is not terminally ill.
* Refuses to allow Terri to leave her room. She has not been outside since 2000.
* Ordered doctors not to treat Terri when she had a life threatening infection in 1993 and 1995.



Virtually as soon as Michael Schiavo received the monies from the medical malpractice claim involving his wife, Terri Schindler-Schiavo,
he withheld all therapy and rehabilitation services from her.

Terri Schiavo had sustained a serious brain injury as the result of a suspicious incident in their home in 1990 and in 1992,
her husband had filed claims against several of her former doctors, claiming her “collapse” was caused by a misdiagnosis.
He received over $1.5 million in 1993 including $750,000 which had been specifically earmarked by the trial jury for Terri’s rehabilitation based on a life expectancy of 50 years.
Mary and Bob Schindler Sr., her parents, consulted a St. Petersburg attorney about removing Michael Schiavo as their daughter’s guardian and discussed the case at length with him.
Unfortunately, the Schindlers did not have the amount of money the attorney demanded as a retainer to take the case.
That attorney became the judge in the case-----a totally prohibited conflict of interest.
Thereafter, the attorney-judge approved the hiring of George Felos as the attorney for Schiavo to be paid from the trust fund and the stage was set for her judicial homicide.
The judge wasn’t George W. Greer.
It was Mark I. Shames.


The money was then diverted to the Judicide G reer.

Should focus on what Jesse Jackson just said.

"he's contacted the Florida Senate, urging members to come up with emergency legislation to stop Terri's starvation. He said he's also called the governor's office, but has not yet heard back.

And he said he called Michael Schiavo, Terri's husband and legal guardian, asking to pray with him - but Schiavo refused." Jackson qualified the heart and motivation of MS now didn't he?

KNOW MANY VOTES TO YOU THINK JESSE CAN EFFECT IF THAT EMERGENCY SESSION, ESPECIALLY IF LIBERMAN AND THE OTHER NATIONAL DEMS- STEPPED IN UP- ENOUGH TO PROVIDE SOME OF THOSE 9 PUBS WHO VOTED NAY LAST TIME, TO HAVE POLITICAL COVER TO VOTE YES THIS TIME.

THE MERCY COALITION, my friends.

Oh S--t, I just found the "tip of the iceberg"?...

I have felt like a voice in the wilderness on this --- Can anyone else get this info to the main talk show folks...

I have been sending the Fla Election link with how to input it. No one seems really interested...

I read all your posts on corruption. I think you're probably right.

But, can you tell me how that's going to save Terri's life, today?

As strongly as I feel about this case, you are exactly right. I think the blame goes on the husband and the judiciary.

BigEd,

The problem is that everyone feels that their one email or phone call will not matter. That's why the Jesse Jackson visit is so critical.

Keep up hope. Fingers crossed, Jackson, if he's truly committed, can bring more publicity to this issue than there's been in the entire 2 weeks.

As for the FLA legislators, they aren't going to be swayed by pople outside their districts. Better to provide links to national Dem figures, whose voice can be heard over the media.

And he said he called Michael Schiavo, Terri's husband and legal guardian, asking to pray with him - but Schiavo refused."

BIG ED, NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! Churchill

Whether vanities are welcome or not, the poster is correct.

FR is devolving into a totally hate filled site that is quite the opposite of what a Christian attitude should be.

You are correct. Many of us have stopped posting, perhaps never to post again, for fear that what we say may not be interpreted to exactly match the party line. Did anyone ever think that would be said about Free Republic? Signing off and logging out.

Yes it is becoming the DU, It seems since Rathergate some of the posters have become intolerant of opinions other than theirs. The zealots are destroying the board. If we don't watch out they will destroy the Republican party. It's a shame I thought FR was a more civilized board.
