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.

GOOD LUCK! KEEP HOLDING!
I wrote the dehydration thing down to tell a friend what happens.
Intense thirst, seizures, urinary flow will stop and cause bacteria to grow in kidneys, intense nausea, dry heaves, eyes will be red, lips will crack, somtimes nose bleeds.
Doesnt sound painless to me. Unbelivable that anyone would purposely cause another person to die in this manner.
"Someone posted a medical description on a past Terri thread that described this process in depth............IT WAS HORRIFIC!"
Is this it?

He is doing great covering this!!!! THANK YOU , Dr. DOBSON!!!!!!!!!
I kept holding and I did get through!
WHAT! Did I miss it? OH NO! What transpired!?
That is GREAT NEWS!
Nawh you didn't miss Congressman Weldon. Sorry if I mislead. They were talking about abortion etc and mentioned Terry Randall. I'm staying tuned to C-SPAN 2.
Talked to my friend, a nurse. She is horrified about the condition of Terri's arms and hands. I said that's because she hasn't had rehab or therapy. She said that keeping the arms and hands from curling up like that has nothing to do with rehab or therapy. IT'S A MATTER OF GENERAL MEDICAL CARE!!!!!!! She said that once the arms and hands have gotten like that, there's no going back, that Terri is now susceptible to getting sores that could become infected. Michael Schiavo allowed that to happen to Terri and that is medical neglect/abuse. Pure and simple. The hospice is responsible, too. Terri should never have been allowed to be admitted to hospice in the first place because she isn't terminally ill; in fact she isn't even sick. They broke the law. I can't wait for the investigation to delve into these wrongs. Can't wait!!!!
Future Legislation Aimed at Saving Terri Schiavo
http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/03-08-2005/0003157167&EDATE=
Sen. Mel Martinez (R-FL) and Rep. David Weldon (R-FL)
Introduce Incapacitated Person's Legal Protection Act
WASHINGTON, March 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) and
Congressman David Weldon (R-FL) introduced legislation that could save the
life of Terri Schiavo, who suffered a brain injury 15 years ago. The
Incapacitated Person's Legal Protection Act (HR 1151, S 539) will give Terri,
and those in similar situations, the same Constitutional protection of due
process as death row inmates, common sense legislation. Presently, the law
does not explicitly recognize due process for an incapacitated individual and
leaves the rights of disabled persons at the mercy of the courts instead of
defended by the Constitution.
The Incapacitated Person's Legal Protection Act will not apply to
circumstances where an advance medical directive is in effect. The Act simply
provides a final avenue of review of the case to insure that a disabled
person's Constitutional rights of due process are maintained and that justice
is done.
"Dr. Weldon's legislation would allow Terri to have her own counsel that
can argue her case, a right given to any criminal in the United States, and
Terri not a criminal but a woman truly fighting for her life," says Tony
Perkins, President of Family Research Council.
"The disabled deserve due process," continues Perkins. "In the United
States we don't execute people without due process and we shouldn't execute
the incapacitated by starvation. Beyond being cruel and unusual punishment,
this is an opportunity for Congress to finally check the power of runaway
courts."
"We commend Senator Martinez and Congressman Weldon for taking the
initiative and acknowledging a vital inconsistency in the process by which our
courts determine the fate of those who cannot speak for themselves."

THIS IS A MUST LISTEN. Hope that the link works!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEND LINK to everyone!!!!!!!!
Thank you for posting the news article about yesterday's hearing etc. This guy felos is really one evil entity. But I think he has met his match in Gibbs. Yahoo! Go, Gibbs. All felos can do is spout the same old boring crap; he's a book peddler and hack. Gibbs, on the other hand, is a righteous scrapper.
Disability Rights Groups Back Congressional Bill Helping Terri Schiavo
by Steven Ertelt
LifeNews.com Editor
March 8, 2005
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Disability rights groups announced Tuesday that they back new Congressional legislation that could provide Bob and Mary Schindler with another opportunity to save their daughter's life.
Florida Rep. Dave Weldon, a Republican, is introducing legislation today called the Incapacitated Person's Legal Protection Act. The bill would allow Terri's parents to use a "writ of habeas corpus" to take the case out of the Florida state courts and to the federal court system.
The habeas corpus review would apply for any other patients like Terri who are subject to involuntary starvation and that's what's earning it praise from disability activists.
"The non-voluntary and involuntary starvation and dehydration of people with disabilities is a more prevalent problem than most people realize," the disabled rights group Not Dead Yet said in a joint statement with other organizations.
"The involvement and concern of disability groups in this issue may come as a surprise to many policymakers," the statement explained. "Unfortunately, the media has ignored the disability interests in what has been commonly and erroneously referred to as a 'right to die' issue."
The group said the euthanasia debate has wrongly been portrayed as one between pro-life conservatives on one hand and pro-euthanasia liberals on the other.
Several groups joined Not Dead Yet in supporting the Weldon bill. They included: Center on Self-Determination, Freedom Clearinghouse, Hospice Patients Alliance, Mouth Magazine, National Spinal Cord Injury Association, Society for Disability Studies, World Association of Persons with Disabilities.
A representative of the National Right to Life Committee explained the policy behind the bill last week.
“Congress can act to ensure a federal court hearing on whether or not Terri will die of starvation and dehydration,” said Lori Kehoe, who monitors Congressional issues for the group's medical ethics division.
“A proceeding known as the ‘writ of habeas corpus,’ which is protected by the U.S. Constitution, has been used for centuries to give a hearing to those whose liberty has been constrained by state courts in violation of the Constitution or federal laws," Kehoe explained.
Normally, anyone can use a writ of habeas corpus, but NRLC says Congress needs to act in this instance because "is unclear that the current statutes and precedents give [Terri] a right to it."
