Good morning, freepers. As you may already know, this is where we place links to other Terri threads at Free Republic and other breaking news about Terri Schindler-Schiavo.
In addition, this is a place to meet and plan ways to use grassroots activism to help Terri's Fight.
If you are a newbie to Terri's Fight, I urge you to visit http://www.terrisfight.org where you can subscribe to their newsletter, can get up to speed on the court cases and the very long struggle.
As far as what can Free Republic do for Terri's Fight, in the November Dailies Thread (here), please consider joining us.
The pay isn't very good lol but it is rewarding to help Terri nonetheless. Terri's life has as much value as anyone else's. The right to die movement needs a counter-balance. That freepers, is where we come in. TO JOIN TERRI'S FREEPERS, I would ask that newbies and old guard Terri freepers do a post to join us under our new name: TERRI'S FREEPERS.

The judge's retention or otherwise could have, and did have, absolutely nothing to do with this case. All of the FR posturing that Florida judges are, and this judge in particular is, influenced in decisions of controversial cases is the epitome of foolishness and an abject misunderstanding of the judiciary. I know these judges personally and professionally and I would swear on an oath that today's circuit judiciary is beyond influence of popular clamor of the madding crowd or on-the-edge ideology. And, it should not be unnoticed that every decision made in this case has been affirmed by every level of appellate court to which they have been presented.
High court lifts stay in Schiavo case; no action imminent
November 30, 2004
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.- The Florida Supreme Court on Tuesday lifted a monthlong stay it had given Gov. Jeb Bush to appeal the case of Terri Schiavo to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the decision had no immediate practical impact.
Two days after the state's high court granted the governor's request in late October, a trial judge in Tampa ruled that Schiavo's feeding tube can't be removed until all appeals are exhausted on a request for a new trial. That blocks any immediate action.

The issue for that trial is whether Schiavo, who is severely brain-damaged, would want to live or die.
The issue before the state Supreme Court was a 2003 law that gave Bush the authority to order that Schiavo's feeding tube be reinserted just days after her husband, Michael Schiavo, won court approval to carry out what he believes are his wife's wishes to die.
The state's high court found that law unconstitutional in late September. The monthlong stay it ordered was to postpone issuing the official "mandate" in that decision. The court issued the mandate Tuesday.
Doctors have said Terri Schiavo collapsed from a chemical imbalance due to an eating disorder 14 years ago. She left no written will. Terry Schiavo's parents dispute she would want the feeding tube removed and have fought to keep their daughter alive.
George Felos, a Dunedin attorney representing Michael Schiavo, has appealed the judge's indefinite stay to the 2nd District Court of Appeal. He did not return a phone call Tuesday.
The governor's office also didn't return a phone call for reaction. Attorneys for the governor, however, have said they plan to appeal the state Supreme Court's September ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Hi, CR -- thanks for finding and posting that -- please feel free to post that and any other newer information to the December thread.
As mentioned. Hope you feel better soon!
It would be nice if each photo would have the date (at least the year), so we know what year these various photos were taken. And a caption with each. "
I'd add: source code so each photo can be used / reposted; caption to include background of photo (situation, where, etc).
What a great idea this is. And I'm sorry I'm just now seeing your post, but it just shows how info and great ideas are getting buried under the mounds of Terri info & posts. Marking . . . basement search.
Correction, I did see your post and excellent idea, and mentioned in my #560.
We're both concerned about good imp. basic info getting lost in the FR basement. Lots of boxes marked "Terri" that could be sorted through to get nuggets, and unfortunately -- as the battle still rages and intensifies -- is more important than ever.
I'm not sure how much time and effort I can devote to this, but dadgum it, 'someone' needs to do it. (Paging someone, paging someone.....)
