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.
5. VISIT TALLAHASSEE AND LOBBY IN THE HALLS OF THE LEGISLATURE.
6. HOLD A DEMONSTRATION AT THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION.
7. Join the Message Board that freepers started at the Crystal Cathedral/Hour of Power. TELL YOUR CHURCH ABOUT TERRI.
8. Tell your friends that Terri is alert and aware of her surroundings and to visit www.terrisfight.org to see her videos.
9. PETITIONS. We will gather current Petitions here for you. At this time, you can sign a SAVE TERRI PETITION AT www.renewamerica.us. THERE ARE ALSO IMPEACH GREER PETITIONS ABOUT.
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.
This is Terri's Fight and the battle is enjoined. JOIN US TO SAVE TERRI FROM FORCES THAT HAVE BUT ONE GOAL THAT IS AGAINST EVERYTHING AMERICAN.
GUIDELINES: If you want to start frivolous discussions, please start your own thread in chat.
If you like something from www.theempirejournal.com, please do not post the entire article at Free Republic. Unless I hear otherwise, I believe that we are allowed to post the title and link. TEJ is a great team member of Terri's network. Thanks, TEJ for making a difference and for getting the truth out there.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR CONTACT INFO, IT IS ON THE WAY. Thanks, floriduh voter
Received this in email from Cheryl Ford today:
For those who were not aware of this information...here is the document to peruse.
Perhaps the reason Terri ended up inappropriately placed into Woodside Hospice, a facility owned by The Hospice of Florida Suncoast when she is not, and never was terminal has something to do with the fact that
Death Attorney George Felos, Michael Schiavo's lawyer was one of the Officers and Directors.
Coincidence? I think not.
See below. (same year Terri was admitted) April 2000.

Thank you.
Since Greer has opened that door, it would be really great to see news reporters, et al petition for permission to personally observe, report on and tape Terri's condition.
Such could likely be arranged to avoid a circus atmosphere. I urge Florida Freepers to contact news sources and get the ball rolling. Any takers?
I CAN'T BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF INFO OUT THERE THAT THE PRESS JUST IGNORES!
THEY MAKE ME SICK!
That is absolutely why she ended up there!
It really is an excellent idea!
After reading these posts last evening, I was thinking of possible ways for Terri's parents to PROVE Terri valued life. Just a thought, since the hearsay of the Shindlers side is not as compelling in the court's view as the hearsay on Michael's side. Have the Shindlers review ALL home videos, cards, letters, senior book autographs, ANYTHING, where Terri may have stated that "life is precious" or words to that effect. Did she and Michael write their own marriage vows? Did she ever have a penpal? Did she ever send a card to a family member who was ill?
After you read Mr. Brodersen's letter many of you may ask why can't Terri be given the proper therapy she needs so she can speak for herself?
Answer in short: Keep in mind that Terri has repeatedly been denied by Michael Schiavo her own legal counsel, therapy, and the right to present herself into a court room. The family is NOT permitted to record or photograph her. Even if they were allowed, Judge Greer has denied the right to provide evidence.
--------------------
My name is Tom Brodersen. I am attorney Pat Anderson's office manager, formerly her fiance, and more recently, her husband. I have personal knowledge about Terri Schiavo's actual neurological condition and responsiveness which we could not use before because of Pat's role as attorney for the Schindler family. That is now changed, and I cannot sit quietly by and passively observe a miscarriage of justice.
During the period of September to November of 2002 (from just before to shortly after the medical evidentiary hearing featuring five doctors as witnesses), I spent time with Terri Schiavo, as a person (briefly) on her visitors list.
During that time I gently spoke to her, built rapport and trust, sang to her, played music for her, and encouraged her to vocalize. Over the twenty days or so that I visited with Terri, I observed that, while Terri is distrustful of strangers, she gradually warmed up to me (and not so gradually after Bob, Mary and I sang "Those Were the Days" to her as a trio!). Terri responds to a variety of stimulii, including responding to both her mother's and my voices, both in person and over the phone, by fixing her attention and frequently by laughing. When I sang to her, she often VOCALIZED, in her best effort to sing along with me. She recognizes and takes great pleasure in certain singers and songs which ARE her favorites (most especially John Denver singing "Country Roads"). She learned to love several songs I sang to her with which she didn't seem to be familiar with, but others she never learned to appreciate (just not her cup of tea, obviously). She responded to gentle requests if given time and patience, such as lifting her right leg (three times out of four requests, the other time she lifted her left leg instead). While she does not have consistent control over her eyes to blink or look this way or that, she has excellent control over her breathing, diaphram and voice, and will vocalize in various patterns if asked. While trying to work out a yes/no system with sounds, Terri initially answered the question "Terri, are you ten feet tall" by moaning twice, which is the response for "No," then she spontaneously whispered the word "No" in response to the question "Terry, are you purple?". At that point I abandoned the sounding system and started trying to teach her to say "Yeah" as best as she could. Bob Schindler has several recordings of her sort of saying the word "Yeah" shortly after that.
Unfortunately, I was then taken off Terri's visitors list, but on successive occasions (as recently as last October, approximately two years since I last saw her in person), when her father placed a phone to Terri's ear so I could talk to her, she laughed as soon as she heard my voice, and tried to sing along with me when I sang to her over the phone.
Terri is not just "in there," she is very responsive, she loves music, and she is my friend. Please don't kill her.

LETTER FROM TOM BRODERSON, ATTORNEY PATRICIA ANDERSON'S HUSBAND, ON HIS VISIT WITH TERRI
My name is Tom Brodersen. I am attorney Patricia Anderson's office manager, formerly her fiance, and more recently, her husband. I have personal knowledge about Terri Schiavo's actual neurological condition and

It's pretty amazing that Terri can remember him with her liquified brain, isn't it? /sarcasm
WOW!!!!! BUMP!
Its even more sicking for Felos because he flat out
tells the media and anyone else who will listen that
Terri's cerebral cortex is a giant "black hole".
Felos should look in the mirror. He is a
giant black hole of humanity.
No soul.

Spot on for the battle between good and evil for Terri
Thanks so much for posting that, amdgmary -- yet another person to add to our list of eyewitnesses to Terri's true condition (ping to FLe).
I'm disappointed that our Jacksonville media did not pick up on the discrepancy between Bob Schindler's account of his latest visit with Terri and the way she is portrayed by Michael Schiavo. The Schindlers said afterwards that they do talk about Terri being responsive, but the media doesn't report it. It looks like the internet is, once again, the best place for the free flow of information.
There is a veil of ignorance and deceit that needs to be ripped away. Thank God for everyone trying to make that happen, because this is a travesty.
Felos is a cucumber.
(Excuse me, I'm a little tired. LOL!)
thank you for posting that, amdgmary!!!
Bwahahahahaha!
OhMyGosh!
That is SO funny! Well done, Terri FRiend! :oD
