TAMPA -- A judge ruled Thursday that the law pushed by Gov. Jeb Bush to keep a severely brain damaged woman alive is unconstitutional. The governor's office filed an immediate appeal.

You're welcome. We haven't let up since last year, not a month has gone by. Terri's base if you will has EXPANDED... Time has given us that. We will fight fire with fire and it was great to hear Jeb's counsel Ken Connor identifying Terri as "the handicapped".

She's definitely not a zombie as the hemlockers would like everyone to believe.

WE ARE ALSO WORKING TIRELESSLY TO OUST THE JUDGES WHO ARE COMPLICIT in consistently ruling AGAINST WOMEN...Felos said on Fox that they would not kill Terri during the pendancy of all the appeals.

If he wasn't lying, that buys us more time to lobby, protest and place numerous phone calls and gain earned media.

JEB'S ATTORNEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD TAKE THIS ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT. Go, Jeb!

I just did a post "Go, Jeb!" Ken Connor GOT ALL HIS TALKING POINTS IN ON GRETA VAN SUSTEREN THIS EVENING. Felos called his interview in and they had a MAP OF FLORIDA. BOYCOTT MAP IS EARLIER ON THIS THREAD.

Terri is not hooked up to machines. There are no "plugs to be pulled". A feeding tube is like a port if you know what a port is.

Terri is not brain dead. Terri can swallow but they won't allow swallowing tests because if the world found out that she didn't need the feeding tube, they couldn't KILL HER. That's the bottom line. Careful or you will be labelled a troll sent here to disrupt.

I am so glad you ventured over here! So many people have just been too afraid to look at what's going on, but the truth is so obvious. I'm so happy that you have seen that the general media has totally confused the public over what is at stake here! God bless you for having the courage to go outside your comfort zone and find out more!

After laundering Terri's money, she was put on Medicaid. OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS ARE PAYING FOR HER CARE. The only likely LIFE INSURANCE POLICY would be held by her husband in name only who told Larry King "he wouldn't stop". Her husband starved his mom and his dad. It's like a HOBBY FOR MICHAEL SCHIAVO to starve and dehydrate people until they are dead.

If anyone wants the AHCA documentation of their April 1st investigation please request. Can someone find a place to host this 4mb or so of material for others to download. This is from a Chapter 119 request.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but could all of us oldtimers please try to read all the LATER posts, before flaming a new person's FIRST posts?

antaresequity, I appreciate the kinds things you said about Terri.

Sorry, it's not crap. You have the parents mixed up with the husband and so forth. Your post indicates to me in my opinion that you haven't read up on this matter.

Sometimes people visit free republic on decision days out of nowhere. Not saying that pertains to you but hey, it happens here all the time.

I have GREAT NEWS. LARS LARSON is covering Terri Schiavo on his talk radio show that just started. "Michael Schiavo wants to have her killed." Larson The only one that appears to want her dead is her husband.

EXACTLY. THE ONLY ONE THAT APPEARS TO WANT HER DEAD IS HER HUSBAND. And, that's my final answer.

"How can a law designed to keep you alive be "unconstitutional?" Larson

BRINGING TRUTHFUL CRAP TO FREE REPUBLIC EVERY DAY, floriduh voter

Please contact the National Civil League, their contact info is provided above. The City of Clearwater is running for All American City for their excellence in civil rights promotion and policing. THE CLEARWATER POLICE ARE HELPING KEEP TERRI FROM HER FAMILY RIGHT NOW.

Thirty cities are in the running. CLEARWATER SHOULD BE DISQUALIFIED OR DEFINITELY SHOULD LOSE THE COMPETITION hands down.

It's apparent that the City of Clearwater HAS HIDDEN THE CRUELTIES AND ABUSE OF TERRI AND HER FAMILY simply because "they forgot" imo.

Help us make sure that CLEARWATER is a big loser. They're an All American Pity.

FV, I know that those of us who are current on the Terri threads often get emotional about her, especially on days like today when we get bad news. But I think it would be a good idea to calm down sometimes and follow through on someone's train of thought before we jump all over them.

Antaresequity, it's so good to have you on board! Some of the regular posters to the Terri threads are right on the front lines for Terri's fight, and they can sometimes let their emotions get the best of them. We have had many trolls here in the past, especially when there's a new round of info making the airwaves. That's often when we see them (the trolls) rear their ugly heads.

It has been a tough battle, but I know I'm in for the long haul, and I know others are as well. May God hear our heaven-sent pleadings to return Terri to the arms of her loving family!
