I called the Govs. office and got some younger sounding woman and I asked them what was happening in the Theresa Schiavo matter and they said the courts haven't decided yet. I then told them that the Governor is the Chief Law Enforcement Office of the State and that he is Head of the DCF and AHCA and that there were non-addressed complaints by AHCA and she transferred me to AHCA main receptionist.

Then I responded to an e-mail that David Kirkland had sent out to a ton of officials with a reply all with this:

I just called the Governor's Office and tried to ask what was happening in the matter of Terri Schiavo and was told that the courts haven't decided yet. I told the person that Gov. Bush is the Chief Law Enforcement of the State and the Head of DCF and AHCA and how there was non-addressed complaints by AHCA. They transferred me to AHCA. This is going nowhere. I am supposed to be in training this week and already missed one day. My job is in jeopardy because my Governor and President cannot do their damn jobs. That goes for my representatives and for the FBI and the USDOJ whom I have notified of crimes against Teresa Schiavo in regards to people conspiring to murder her. IF YOU DO NOTHING TO AVERT THERESA SCHIAVO'S MURDER THE BLOOD IS ON YOUR HANDS!!!

(NOTE: After sending this e-mail so far Senator Tom Lee's Office deleted my e-mail without reading and so did House Rep. Carol Wetmiller's Office. I already called Tom Lee's office.)

> PROOF that George Felos LIED in court to Judge Greer during a hearing specific about this new finding in which the parents of Terri Schiavo asked the Judge to abate his ruling and order an investigation into how Terri got these serious and multiple fractures. They did not mean for Greer to do the investigation, but for him to do his SWORN OATH duty and legal requirement to bring in LAW ENFORCEMENT. Judge Greer, state attroney Bernie McCabe and past Sheriff Everett Rice have been seen together and it is reproted that Greer was overheard at a baseball game talking about the Schiavo case with one of them. Felos made claims and produce alleged affidavits, but unverified as noted in court, which state exactly the opposite of the doctor. Felos claimed that Terri had a bone disease and there was nothing there of any importance to warrant any further attention. Thus actively hiding the fact that this Guardian has concealed and not treated (Felony Crimes) the 13 fractures by trying to say that she merely has a bone disease. Wait till you read about THE BROKEN BACK and the BROKEN FEMUR probably caused by direct blunt trauma like furniture, stairs or golf club!
