And the COURT is siding with the person who is PRO-DEATH in DEFIANCE of the law. The US COURTS have truly become America's ENEMY #1.
I just re-reported to Drudge. Will add prayers.
Thanks for the heads Up, I hope you and other Freepers on this Action Thread are posting over there links to this trhread....
GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can take the rest of the day off, jsut for doing that one post to Glenn Beck!!!
I just sent e-mail about this to USANext (the counterpart to the bad AARP). We'll see what they do.
Whooo Haaaaa!!!!!!!!!!
Now if Jessy Jackson will jsut show up and say, in that way he has of preaching, "This is wrong, this is morhally wrong."
He showed up to late for terri, pray there is time for Mrs. Mae Magouirk.
Good to hear from you today. I had been wondering where you were. Thanks for also keeping me sane during those trying times at FR. I am glad this thread is filled with people who want to save Mae.
withdrawing hydration and nutrition without proper informed consent (prior to the guardianship) is a violation of the law:

I just got off the phone with Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services in my region. If the above state survey agency will not investigate, the CMS division of Survey and Certification should be contacted here:

I would suggest that Georgia citizens make complaints to the state survey agency and then call Patricia Bender as well.
You Go Girl!!!
I know you have been very physically sick.
I know that emotionally you must have been in even worse shape after Terris murder (soory I cna't surgar coat it) It so good to see you vent some anger again.
just take care of yourself....
I just e-mailed them too; so frustrating, as Glenn said today; it's difficult when a story like this gets out on a Friday (remember how Clinton's did this to perfection?), as not as many folks paying attention.
Yeah!!!!!!! you and Phil Dragoo, the guy I can NEVER remember how to spell his sign in name.........
This was reported to be a "settlement", which is not usually used to describe a court order. Family and probate court matters generally do not become part of the public record, unless certain criteria are met. And when they do, it is in a VERY formal way -- i.e. people can get a copy of the official documents -- not some judge as libbing to some total stranger who calls him up.
Note that most of the probate court level Terri Schiavo records were sealed. What was public was the appellate records, which contained only a handful of personal facts, and were primarily about the courts' interpretation of legal procedures. Other information about Terri got into the public domain by members of her family sharing it.
Someone needs to call Sean Hannity. I can't right now. He has been talking about Terri. Tell the person who answers it's about another Terri would be my suggestion.

I just cant believe no one is all over this story I heard Glenn beck on this story this morning he is the only one. didnt hear Rush or Sean so far! I dont understand this at all. Glenn beck said he was going to call sean about the story and make sure he was on it.
Maybe they don't know about it. Email not to them, Sean's in GA, maybe Beck couldn't get in touch with him. I don't know.
While I'm no George Soros fan especially after the recent election campaign, and it's true that Soros funds causes in which I vehemently disagree including drugs, gay marriage and abortion. However, your reference to the PDIA was anything but complete. Here is what his organization states as the goal:
Now, I would assume most here would applaud anything that tended to improve care for dying patients. Perhaps you are aware of the $45 million being spent to kill rather than extend care?

One of the local talk radio guys here in Toledo, Denny Schaffer (who regularly fills in for Glenn Beck), and his producer did some research on the story that appeared in WND. Apparently the granddaughter, Beth Gaddy (who is alledgedly trying to starve her to death) has been taking care of her grandmother for 10 years. She has been feeding her every day, whether it be soft food, jello, ice chips, etc. She does not currently receive nourishment through a feeding tube at all. The nephew, Ken Mullinax, wants feeding tube inserted. So when he claims that Hospice-LaGrange has denied Magouirk normal nourishment or fluids via a feeding tube through her nose or fluids via an IV" the reality is that his insistence that she be put ON a feeding tube is being denied. The hospital policy is that doctors will not do that while a patient can still swallow and ingest food by normal means.
Gaddy received emergency guardianship from probate court two weeks ago in order to have Mae transferred to the hospital after her aortic dissection. Gaddy, Mullinax, and two other relatives all reached settlement following week that Gaddy would receive guardianship, that three cardiologists will examine Mae, and treatment will be administered according to what 2 out of 3 doctors determine is necessary.
So, the sum of it is that Mullinax is p***ed off about Gaddy being awarded guardianship and is seeking to draw attention to his case with outrageous claims. It should be noted that even the local officials in LaGrange (population of only a couple thousand) had no idea about anything regarding this case. You would think if it was what Mullinax made it out to be that somebody would know something about it. As it was, the only local information available on it was from a local paper which the producer had to buy a subscription to in order to read the article.
I don't doubt that there are cases out there where elderly are being essentially euthanized, but I don't think this is one of them.

Well, the question then is, Is she getting fed orally or are they letting her die?

So are they starving her or not?
And I just re-reported to Georgia Right to Life. Many prayers here, too.
