Sen Wise is to be admired. He's not a Christmas & Easter only church member. He and his wife are faithful, he takes his Christianity seriously and it shows! Greer could take lessons from him.

This is a spiritual battle and we must do battle in prayer.
We need God to move in this situation, he parted the sea, walked in the fire, and I'm reminded as it approaches Jesus conquered sin and death on Resurrection Day.

Put on the spiritual armor

Let's all take heart in these verses and talk with God about delivering Terri and Florida from the invasion of euthanasia.

Jer 1:8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I [am] with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

Eze 2:6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [be] with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] a rebellious house.

1Pe 3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy [are ye]: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

I think it's possible that folks may be afraid, I've often wondered if Felos has threatened to sue media for reporting certain things.
You know,

"the court has ruled"

Anyway, at least in my neck of the woods, it's like trying to raise the dead to get folks to make a phone call. No activism whatsoever, and IMO Christians should be on the front line of activism especially when the matter concerns something that is against Biblical teaching.

Everyone please be praying for our legislators. I guarantee you that the spiritual battle we see and experience in our efforts is compounded there in the legislature. Sen. Wise, Sen Lee, Speaker Bense and all of them. We could even pray that Jim King would get sick, or stuck in traffic and miss the vote. LOL

God can do what we wish we could!

Another twisted point:

I've seen people say they don't want someone making them continue living when they wouldn't want to in a similar situation.

the fact is...

This is about a court ordering you to die.

Thank you for the phone numbers....I am going to use them in a moment, especially glad to see that they are toll free! Hurrah!

pc93, perhaps if enough of us write to Greta Van Susteran, using her contact link and the links in the thread to some Fox News Producers, we could update them on the petitions being presented before Judge Greer and encourage them to throw these petitons into the public eye, asking them to use Greta's legal panel time to discuss them. Her show address is ontherecord@foxnews.com.

The petitions tell the story so well.

And somehow, this story must be told.

We are working to save a life, we all need to call the Florida legislative leaders, their phone numbers in pc93's post above, and we need to get some emails to Greta and her staff.

Terri is NOT DEAD YET!

Parents want Schiavo fed after tube removed

By WILLIAM R. LEVESQUE, Times Staff Writer
Published March 8, 2005




CLEARWATER - An attorney for Terri Schiavo's parents asked a judge Monday to allow her to be fed by mouth once her feeding tube is removed on March 18, though a lawyer for her husband said such efforts would be unsuccessful.

In a hearing to consider a variety of motions Monday, Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge George Greer did not decide immediately on the request to feed Schiavo. Such requests, however, have previously been denied.

The hearing came during what could be a critical week in the Schiavo case. The Florida legislative session begins today in Tallahassee, and those seeking to extend Schiavo's life hope lawmakers step into the case as they did in 2003.

Greer is holding a series of hearings this week on pending motions from Schiavo's parents. Bob and Mary Schindler hope they may yet persuade the judge to reconsider an order to remove their daughter's feeding tube.

In a case that has lasted seven years, few are willing to predict events in the next few weeks.

"This case just brings the unexpected,' said George Felos, an attorney for Schiavo's husband, Michael Schiavo, who wants his wife's feeding tube removed.

David Gibbs III, an attorney for the Schindlers, said he is hopeful that legal efforts may yet extend Terri Schiavo's life. On Monday, he filed an appeal of several Greer rulings, including a denial of an indefinite stay preventing the feeding tube's removal.

At Monday's hearing, Gibbs said he has statements from 13 doctors that Schiavo may be able to eat food through her mouth. "Terri Schiavo should be given the opportunity to swallow and eat food like a regular person," Gibbs told Greer.

But Felos said the court has repeatedly found such efforts would be useless and might lead to infection and Schiavo's death.

Such a death from aspirated food entering her lungs would be painful, Felos said.

"Mrs. Schiavo is entitled to a peaceful death with dignity," he said. "She's going to aspirate and she's going to have an extended, gruesome death" if fed.

Greer also heard arguments on other pending issues, many dealing with end-of-life matters should Schiavo's feeding tube be removed. Among the ones Greer decided Monday:

--Refused to block plans by Michael Schiavo to have his wife cremated and her ashes buried in her native Pennsylvania. The Schindlers want her buried in Florida and oppose cremation.

--Refused a request by the Schindlers to allow select media to accompany them as they visit their daughter.

--Refused the Schindlers' request to allow their daughter to die at their home, noting the parents can visit the Pinellas Park hospice where she lives.

--Ordered that Michael Schiavo, if the Schindlers desire, hire a videographer to record their interaction with their daughter after her feeding tube is removed.

Greer will consider further motions today.

JUST HORRIFIC!

I am anguished over Judge Greer's inhumanity!

This man would ONCE again attempt to kill this woman without EVER HAVING VISITED HER HIMSELF with the SCHINDLERS at his side since Terri is stranger shy?

What horrors do michael and his concubine visit upon Terri when they close the door to her prison and have at her?

If they have not managed to crush Terri's spirit, if they cannot RECOGNIZE her fight to live, WHAT ARE THESE MONSTERS ABOUT?

Oh the posters I would hold outside the upscale home schiavo and his mistress and their children enjoy if I had the money to get down there!

These petitions are so heartfelt.

TERRI CANNOT GO HOME EVEN AS SHE DIES?

WHY?

WHY?

WHAT IS THIS HOSPICE DOING keeping her there?

Is there NO ONE to stand in this gap and bring these petitions into the light so that AMERICA can understand the HEINOUS SATANIC BLACKNESS that surrounds this travesty of justice?

michael, who has said 'Isn't that bitch dead yet?', gets to EVEN CONTROL HER AFTER HE KILLS HER?

This man is a sociopath.

That the COURTS did not even consider that FACT that Michael's psychiatrist VERBALLY WARNED THE SCHINDLERS to call the police if Michael ever again (he came close to attacking Terri's sister and was undner a psychiatrist's care, on prozac and a variety of other medications) to call 911 immediately because Michael was potentially violent???????????????????????????????????????????And this was YEARS AGO!

MICHAEL HAS A HATRED FOR TERRI AND HER PARENTS THAT HAS GROWN WITH TIME AND THEIR SUFFERING IS THE FOOD HE IMBIBES TO ASSUAGE HIS SOCIOPATHIC NEEDS!

Three Days of Activities to Support Legislation to Save Terri Schiavo's Life

The campaign will begin with a rally at the State Capitol on Sunday, March 13, at 3:00 P.M. and will include prayer vigils, lobbying and public events.

To: National Desk

Contact: Rev. Patrick Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition, 202-547-1735, 540-538-4741 cell

WASHINGTON, March 8 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Pro-family and faith and value organizations will kick off three days of activities in Tallahassee to generate support for the passage of legislation that will save Terri Schiavo's life.

The campaign will begin with a rally at the State Capitol on Sunday, March 13th , at 3:00 P.M. and will include prayer vigils, lobbying and public events.

Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, comments, "It is our hope and prayer that the Florida legislature will show the same courage and compassion they exhibited in 2003 when they acted to save Terri's life. It is important that elected officials work to protect the most needy and defenseless of our society.

It must be remembered that Terri is not brain dead, living by artificial means or even in a persistent vegetative state. If she is denied food and water, she will suffer a horrible and painful death that would be considered unlawful and immoral for a convicted serial killer or an animal. We are also thankful for the leadership of Governor Bush and are praying that God would grant him strength and wisdom as we all work together for justice and mercy regarding Terri and all those who are facing similar situations."
