"....Judge George Greer: Ruler of the Kangaroo Court set on killing Terri Schiavo. Impartial? Not in the least! Worked side by side as county commissioner with Barbara Sheen Todd (county commissioner) for eight YEARS. Barbara Sheen Todd is on the board of the hospice. Also, Judge Greer's fellow judge, Judge John Lenderman is the brother of Martha Lenderman (also on the hospice board! See the Hospice Board members! Greer accepted as the basis of his rulings, the questionable testimony of Michael Schiavo (and his family) that Terri would wish to be killed, yet Michael never stated that before he got about a Million Dollars to care for Terri forever. Greer also accepted as the basis of his rulings, the "opinion" of a third doctor who just happens to be the brother of a close associate of George Felos, right-to-kill attorney, and very significantly, former CHAIRMAN of the hospice board! If there ever was a rigged court, Judge Greer's is it!...."

I think a full-scale criminal investigation of Schiavo, Felos, Greer, $uncoast Hospice, Centzone (?) is in order. I also think there's is enough suspicion of wrong-doing in this case, for Terri to be fed NOW, and to be put in protective custody from Schiavo/Felos/Greer/$uncoast Hospice NOW. Anything less would make the State of Florida complicit. JUST my opinion, of course.
Kudos to FReepers!
It's a state that lures the elderly. They're next.
God delays all the time. Remember the saying "God's delays are not God's denials"?
I don't mean that He would delay in order for Terry to suffer as much as possible - but so that the miracle would be so obvious that no one could deny it.
TALLAHASSEE – Speaker Johnnie Byrd announced the passage of legislation by a vote of 68-23 to help save Terri Schiavo. If passed by the Senate and signed by the Governor, the bill will allow the governor to issue a stay on court-ordered starvation and dehydration deaths under certain circumstances.
This all may be moot regarding Terri, since the stupid Senate added amendments, they'll have to reconcile bills which may take another stinkin' day. Grrrrr.
"Why are you waiting until tonight to address this bill? Are you HOPING Terri will die so that you can abdicate responsibility for the consequences of your decision, or indecision? Why isn't this the FIRST thing on the agenda??? TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! While all you fat cats are sitting around indulging yourselves in your taxpayer funded buffets today, remember that there is a woman, the age of some of you, the age of some of your own daughters, who is lying in a bed starving and thirsty and in pain, and YOU have the power to feed her, and give her water and relieve her pain." "Then He will also say to those on His left, `Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.' "Then they themselves also will answer, `Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?' "Then He will answer them, `Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.'" (Matt. 25:41-45)
PLEASE help Terri! What is being done to her is WRONG!"
