Terri's Freepers,
Judge George Greer denied Terri's parents' Motion for a Stay to protect their daughter's life while there are still pending issues in this LIFE AND DEATH MATTER. In addition the Department of Children and Family Services made a surprise visit to the court hearing the other day and asked Judge Greer if they could approach the bench. Judge Greer denied DCF the opportunity to speak. DCF asked for 60 days to conduct a complete investigation of allegations that have surfaced in the form of a Complaint to their agency.
What was set in motion instead? On Friday, February 25th, Judge Greer REFUSED TO issue another Stay because he was "not comfortable" issuing a say to protect a Ward of the State but instead "set a date certain" (on his calendar at least, not on mine) to BEGIN THE BARBARIC, ANTI-AMERICAN, STARVATION-DEHYDRATION SLOW MURDER OF TERRI.
Attorney Gibbs for Terri's parents held a press conference after J. Greer's order that was so tastefully written to indicate that "he was giving the Schindlers until March 18th so they could "prepare for Last Rites." Attorneys Gibbs called this ruling and prior rulings "Hitler-resque". Indeed.
If Judge Greer wasn't LEGALIZING EUTHANASIA in his courtroom, why any need for Last Rites? Greer's urgency to fulfill this killing places urgency on every one of us to lobby Governor Bush, Florida's House and Florida's Senate.
A Judge in America is ordering the manner of someone's death, a disabled woman who is healthy but needs rehabilitation.
Time is short so we don't really have time to get into Greer's mind to see why he is Florida's Til of the Hun.
What can we do?
1. LOBBY TO SAVE TERRI
2. HELP BUMP THIS THREAD.
3. POST ARTICLES YOU SEE ABOUT TERRI.
4. VISIT PINELLAS COUNTY FLORIDA AND VIGIL WITH US AT HOSPICE WOODSIDE.

Finally, the Pope has no Living Will. He will be SAFE as long as he stays away from George Greer's courtroom. The Pope is in our thoughts and prayers and he knows of Terri. He wants Terri to be freed from oppression and from a painless death by starvation-dehyration.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO EVERY DAY, THE PAY ISN'T VERY GOOD BUT THE FRINGE BENEFITS ARE THE GREATEST. You are Great Americans and liberty is Terri's and freedom from oppression. Freepers, that is the big payoff if we continue our daunting task.
Terri's family is grateful to you and all of your prayers are being heard by the Giver of Life.

Put me in for March 4th, 12:30 - 1:30 AM. I believe in the power of prayer, and regardless of the outcome of this hearing, I know that God blesses prayer, and God speaks. May we listen, and hear His Voice when He answers us...
The original source site of hyscience's information seems to be:
http://www.thedavidallenshow.com/topics/terrishiavo/20050228.somethingsfishy/ and its subordinate links.
At TheDavidAllenShow.com link I noticed this comment: "Note: Attorney George Felos and Judge Greer are/have been Hospice board members"
Since none of the links mention a date when Greer was a hospice board member, I've directly emailed the DavidAllenShow asking for a date.
The DaveAllenShow site has these other links with useful, interesting info:

TERRI'S BROTHER, BOBBY SCHINDLER, SPEAKS AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY
Schiavo's brother pleads for right to life
http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2005/03/03/news/12237.shtml
A week after a Florida judge ruled that Terri Schiavo's feeding tube could be removed, her brother said that allowing her to die would put the United States on the path to Holocaust-style cruelties.
"What is the difference between what happened 60 years ago and what's happening today?" Bobby Schindler asked Wednesday before a crowd in McCosh 10. "What can possibly be crueler than allowing someone to endure a long and painful death because society doesn't want to pay for them or thinks they have no quality of life? As soon as we establish a criteria for starving people to death, we are establishing a second class of people."
Schindler called the conflict "a cultural battle between life and death" that affects the rights of the elderly and the disabled.
Schiavo, a 41-year-old Florida woman, is at the center of a raging debate over euthanasia. After suffering severe brain damage when her heart stopped in 1990, she now breathes normally but can only receive food and drink through a feeding tube in her stomach.
Her husband Michael and some doctors say that Schiavo is in what is called a permanent vegetative state (PVS) a legal justification for ending life in the state of Florida but her family disagrees.
Schindler said Wednesday that some doctors are "adamant that Terri is nowhere close to PVS" and called the criteria "so subjective you can almost describe anyone who is unable to communicate as in PVS."
Even if Schiavo were in PVS, Schindler added, "Why does it matter?" saying that all his family wants is to bring her to their home and take care of her.
A judge ruled last week that Schiavo is in PVS and that Michael, as her legal guardian, can remove the tube on March 18. Schindler called on Florida Governor Jeb Bush to intervene in the case for the second time to save Schiavo's life.
The situation is complicated by facts in dispute. Schiavo's husband has said she had told him she would not want to be kept alive.
Schindler said his sister, a lifelong Catholic, would not wish to die. They also claim that Michael has other motives.
"Michael suddenly remembered [in 1998] that Terri in her early 20s that she allegedly made a living will," Schindler said.
He also noted that Michael has been cohabitating with another woman for the past 10 years and has two children with her.
Michael also stands to inherit Schiavo's trust fund. Schiavo was awarded more than a million dollars in a 1992 medical malpractice suit.
Schindler said Michael testified at that trial that he wanted to spend the rest of his life caring for his wife.
Instead, Schindler said, Michael has neglected her, denying her sunlight, dental care and speech therapy, which she hasn't had since 1992.
"A lot of doctors are amazed at how well she is doing considering she hasn't had rehabilitation in 13 years," Schindler said.
Schindler also blamed bad judges, the media and changing cultural values for Schiavo's situation.
Claiming that groups such as the insurance industry have promoted euthanasia behind the scenes, Schindler also singled out University bioethics professor Peter Singer.
Singer, who supports voluntary euthanasia, said in an email prior to the talk that "the problem with this case is that the facts are contested, and I have no expertise about that."
Schindler opened his talk with a video of Terri's childhood and their court battle set to music by John Denver and the Beatles some of Terri's favorites.
He ended by quoting the biblical story of the Good Samaritan.
Before Schindler spoke, Chris Tollefson, a visiting fellow at the James Madison Program, said, "Abortion and euthanasia are linked in principle, and both are deeply wrong."
The event was sponsored by Princeton Pro-Life.
I heard John Wilson's opinion on T.V. against Terri. I hardly ever listen to his opinion any more because of it. I didn't realize his opinion had changed. I've listened to Kathy Fountion too. Although I've never heard her say exactly what her position is, many of her guests are anti-Terri.
People need to remember that they could be the next Terri.
You never know when a blood clot, car accident, etc, could happen...life is like a box of choclates
Since none of the links mention a date when Greer was a hospice board member, I've directly emailed the DavidAllenShow asking for a date.
Very good! Excellent!
You hit the nail on the head. This situation is not just about Terri. It's alot bigger than that. I believe that MS will be given a HUGH sum of money if he has success in killing Terri.
RE: 1112 Scoop reported that a long time ago in one of the Greer/Baird stories---Marilyn Brown is a reporter for the Tampa Tribune
I believe the original post that the Schindlers were due on Greta last night(Wed.) was in error. They ARE due this week, but my information was that it was Thurs. or Fri. night.
The confusion came from a soundbite of Greta promoting a couple of upcoming shows, which FNC ran off-and-on all day yesterday(Wed.). The Schindlers, and some celebrity -forget who- were mentioned. Problem is, the promo ran Wed. but Greta never said the Schindlers were to be on Wed. night. She was talking about Thurs. and Fri. shows, but it all runs by so fast, people get confused. Even now, I can't nail down if they will be on tonight(Thurs.) or Fri. night. Terri FReeper DJ MacWoW posted that it is tonight(Thurs.). I thought it was Fri., but am not certain.
But the Schindlers were NOT bumped from Wed. night, from all I know of this.
