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?

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.

It 'bumps' the thread back to the top of the 'latest posts' listing on the FR home page.
WOOOO HOOOO!!
and Congratulations!!
I think we are going to win this time, with the help of God.
Keep praying for Terri.
Woooooo Hooooooo!!!!!!
Woo Hoo bump.
I just listened to three hours of Rolley James talking about Terri with a heck of a terrific hour by TEJ!!
THEN, right after the three enlightening hours, I heard the news on the same station, Philadelphia 1210 AM, talk about the Terri Schiavo Right-to-DIE case. This is NOT about the right-to-die; this is about the right to LIVE. Terri wants to LIVE.
Or maybe they should call it the right to commit murder.
Post #2925 bump!
Well of course she said these things, don't all 20-something year olds talk about death and plan their funerals? Yeh, sure they do. (SARCASM!)
It is disgusting that Greer once again denied Terri justice, and Felos was chanting like a demon over it , but, I'm not surprised.
It is disturbing that Felos has taken to openly mocking God, as that sort of thing doesn't usually work out too well, Biblically speaking anyway. He obviously has no fear of God. We live in a strange & evil time.
I have to say that I am disappointed with the lack of action and coverage by those who have the ability to reach people.
Do they not know that she will be starved and dehydrated again starting March 18th at 1:00 pm?
How can they let ghouls do this to her again?
Where are you Jeb? You and anyone else need to help now, not wait til the tube is out.
Does anyone find it the least bit suspicious that husband wants wants her cremated with no autopsy? Helllllooooooo, wake up!!!
Post #3020 bump!
You understand the important stuff here. :)
A general 'Bump!' moves the thread to the top of the 'latest posts' page, thereby exposing it to more viewers.
I 'Bump!' sometimes referring to specific posts (or repeating them) to draw attention to the report they contain or action information they provide.

The Register
Tuesday, 08 March 2005 NEWS FLASH: The Register legal committee concludes American Court System in crisis, leads the way to address it:
After one unnamed office aide to Florida State Representative, John Stargel, informed The Register that there had not been any constituent requests to being an impeachment proceeding (e.g., to "impeach Greer" or any other judge), as outlined in the State Constitution (see story below), it was discovered that the "online petitions" to impeach a judge while a great morale booster, were not being effective to their stated goal -to get rid of bad judges. Therefore, staff at The Register researched the proper method. For any person wishing to impeach a judge, it is suggested that you contact your state representative, as Editor-in-Chief, Gordon W. Watts, has done. Click here for the letter in Microsoft Word 97 format ( http://hometown.aol.com/gww1210/myhomepage/letter_to_representatives.doc / http://www.geocities.com/gordon_watts32313/letter_to_representatives.doc ) which was sent by conventional postal mail, or here for the letter, in "web page" format, ( http://hometown.aol.com/gww1210/myhomepage/letter_to_representatives.html / http://www.geocities.com/gordon_watts32313/letter_to_representatives.html ) showing what was sent by e-mail.
Monday, 07 March 2005 David Allen, host of The David Allen Show heard on WJGR: 1320 AM, "The Patriot," Where your opinion counts, has asked The Register to post contact information for Florida State Representatives.
There have been many misguided attempts to initiate impeachment proceedings against the various judges involved in the Terri Schiavo case. To begin with, the appeal court judges bear even more responsibility than circuit judge, George Greer, because they have higher authority. Secondly, the attempts to impeach many judges has resulted in "online petitions" galore; However, in Florida, there are only two constitutionally acceptable forms of addressing the misconduct of judges. One is through the Judicial Qualifications Commission. The Florida Bar erroneously claims here that the JQC is the only body that can investigate judicial misconduct: "Under the Florida Constitution, only the Judicial Qualifications Commission has authority to investigate complaints against Florida judges. Persons wishing to file a complaint should address materials to: Judicial Qualifications Commission 1110 Thomasville Road Tallahassee, FL 32303 (850) 488-1581" ~ However, THE FLORIDA BAR is incorrect: The Florida Constitution, under Article III, Section 17: Impeachment Proceedings, ( http://flsenate.gov/Statutes/index.cfm?Mode=Constitution&Submenu=3&Tab=statutes#A03S17 ) also may investigate bad judges. Just like the U.S. House impeached former President, Bill Clinton, and the U.S. Senate tried and convicted him, finally imposing a minor reprimand as punishment, the State House may impeach, and the State Senate may try. ~ Therefore, when David Allen became aware of the movement among citizens who are saying that "enough is enough" with respect to judicial misconduct, he asked The Register to post links to the contact information of Florida State Representatives. If you live in Florida, and you want a judge -or a group of judges -impeached, then you are advised to NOT sign any petition -until after you have contacted both the JQC (see above) and your State Representative -via some methods listed below:
The Tampa Tribune printed the below article today. Attorney George Felos is very worried that the Florida legislature will pass a law that will help people in Terri's situtation.
Judge Begins Ruling On Schindlers' Requests
By DAVID SOMMER dsommer@tampatrib.com
Mar 8, 2005
http://news.tbo.com/news/MGBBE8SI16E.html
CLEARWATER - The judge in the Terri Schiavo case heard arguments Monday over whether she should be fed orally if her feeding tube is removed on March 18.
Judge George Greer said he will decide today whether to hear medical testimony or simply deny the request for oral feeding from parents Bob and Mary Schindler.
Greer denied most of the Gulfport couple's requests for changes in the way their son- in-law plans to handle his wife's death, but the judge did leave them room for hope, Schindler attorney David Gibbs said after the first in what could be a weeklong series of hearings.
Gibbs likened the situation to that of Karen Ann Quinlan, a comatose New Jersey woman who started breathing on her own after being removed from a respirator in 1976 and survived for nine years.
``There is no reason why a court order ruling out life- support must become a death sentence,'' Gibbs said.
A new form of therapy that uses electrical impulses to stimulate throat muscles has shown remarkable success in training brain-damaged people to swallow, Gibbs said.
Michael Schiavo contends his wife will never be able to swallow after severe brain damage suffered when her heart failed 15 years ago at age 26. He has been battling his in- laws in court for permission to remove her from life support since 1997.
After a January 2000 nonjury trial, Greer ruled that evidence showed Terri Schiavo would not want to be kept alive in her condition. That finding has been upheld repeatedly by appellate courts.
If the Schindlers were to try to feed their daughter orally, she would aspirate food into her lungs and contract a massive infection, Schiavo attorney George Felos said. ``Instead of having a painless, short death, she'd have a long, gruesome death.''
Felos also expressed concern Monday about a proposed bill in the Legislature that would block the scheduled removal of Terri Schiavo's life-sustaining feeding tube on March 18.
In October 2003, the Legislature passed a bill that allowed Gov. Jeb Bush to order feeding resumed six days after her feeding tube was removed on court order. That measure has been struck down as unconstitutional.
Felos urged those who support his client to contact their legislators, a tactic used by Schindler supporters in 2003 and again this year.
``If it happened once, it can happen again,'' Felos said of the Legislature's attempt to change law to save Schiavo.
The judge did grant the Schindlers some victories Monday. Terri Schiavo can receive Communion as part of the Catholic rite of Extreme Unction through her feeding tube before it is removed, and, if doctors allow it, a priest can put a drop of wine and a particle of Communion wafer on her tongue when death draws near, the judge ruled Monday.
He also said the parents may have photographs and videos taken with their daughter, allowed for the appointment of a medical witness to ensure she is not in pain while dying, and said Michael Schiavo cannot block visits by the Schindlers and their children.
Greer denied the Schindlers' request that their daughter not be cremated and said he would not overrule Michael Schiavo's plans to have her ashes buried in their native Pennsylvania, though she and the Schindlers live in Florida.
Another hearing is scheduled for this afternoon to determine whether two new Schindler challenges meet the legal threshold for Greer to reconsider whether the tube should be removed.
The Schindlers want new medical tests and say Greer erred in 2000 when he discounted a key witnesses based on the erroneous belief that Quinlan died in 1976.
On Wednesday, Greer is scheduled to consider a request from the state Department of Children & Families that he delay the feeding tube's removal while the agency investigates allegations that Schiavo has been abused by her husband.
Thanx, forwarded to the one who created it.
What part of France? We spent most of the '90's in the Vendee.
On February 25, 2005, Judge Greer denied a motion for an emergency stay filed by the Schindler family of his February 11, 2000 order to remove nutrition and hydration from Terri Schiavo. Yesterday, March 7, 2005, the Schindlers filed an appeal to the 2nd District Court of Appeals. A summary of their argument follows:
Euthanasia should be over-exposed again and again and again til it's stopped.
The petition to impeach Greer hasn't been turned in to the House because of the amount of sigs it has on it. I was hoping it would have at least 10,000 by today when the legislators returned to work. At present it has 4366 sigs.
If folks think it's time to send it to the House as is, just say the word!
God flooded the earth because of sin. He sent plagues upon the Egyptians because of the hardness of Pharoah's heart. He gave Jonah a ride in the belly of a fish because of sin.
While no one can know for sure if a natural disaster is God trying to get our attention, none of us can say for sure it isn't.
