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.

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.

The silence is deafening, isn't it?
Quite honestly I have wondered WHY Jeb Bush would have appointed Jay Wolfson as the Guardian Ad Litem awhile back full well knowing "where this guy is coming from"? He came out with a report calling Terri PVS. I was absolutely incensed.
how MANY PEOPLE will gather tho Pegita??? I hope it is a HUGE crowd. Numbers really really count here. It has to resemble an uprising of sorts. I know I sound like a broken record but these politicians are NOT carrying out their OATHS OF OFFICE. They MUST be made to know that their lack of action here will mean their removal from office. Florida citizens simply CANNOT tolerate this.
I just got off the phone with my pastor.
I begged them last week to send out an email to the congregation on Terri.
They wouldn't do it.
I told him i think it is ridiculous that we can send out emails about getitng together at church to watch FOOTBALL games but NOT THIS??
He seems to think it is unhealthy for me to be so consumed over this...
My whole world had been turned upside down!
Drudge, FOX, RUSH, My govenrnment, and now my CHURCH???
Glenn Beck is the ONLY one who has stood up to be the man he claims to be....

""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."

I sent another email to Rush. I do not expect a response. I will be canceling my 24/7 subscription.
Here in Orlando, Florida.... Bud Hedinger(Radio Talk Show) will be covering the Terri story(Today)...
http://www.540wfla.com/bud
I don't know if you can get radio program (Live) on internet ???(3pm-6pm)
"neurologically disabled"--I don't see it said that way very often. Darn shame mainstream media can't see it that way.
Pepper, I see you got the answer to your question but I thought I would point something out to all the newbies around here that aren't totally familiar with this message board, as I see a lot of "what are you referring to" posts.
At the bottom of every post there is a line that shows the post #, date, and who posted. UNDER that line, it says: "Post Reply", "Private Reply", "To (some #)", "View Replies", and "Report Abuse". If you are reading a post and you don't know what was said in the original post they are referring to, you can click on the "(some #)", and it will take you back to the post they are replying to. To get back to where you left off in the thread, just click your browser's "back" button. The "view replies" link is also handy if you just want to see the replies to a particular post.
It took me a long time to figure that out when I first came here, but it makes following a thread SO much easier.
Sorry for the interruption all, now back to Terri...
Do you live in Central Florida ?
Thank you for the PSA (Public Service Announcement!)
I am a newbie-- so that was very helpful!!
LOL!!
now- back to our regularly scheduled program.....
Help me! I don't see a link to "Listen Live" on Bud Hedinger at 540wfla ???
I don't know, I am sorry, maybe somebody else knows how to do it ?
No, but I can listen to 970wfla on the internet--so I thought I could listen to 540wfla too
While there, you can speak with your reps and lobby with whomever you can get time with. Please be there in support
of this bill for all incapacitated.
Seriously? We, the People, get to talk to our representatives? And they'll actually be there, listening?
Wow!
Excerpts from editorials in Florida newspapers

Here are excerpts from editorials in newspapers in Florida:

March 8,
The Palm Beach Post, on narrowing the Legislature's agenda to hurricane insurance:
The Legislature begins its annual session with an especially important to-do list.
Legislators, who (gathered Tuesday) in Tallahassee, will do better at it if they also keep in mind the not-to-do list. Among the items: Do not waste time by trying again to interfere in the Terri Schiavo case. Do not cause needless trouble by trying to interfere in the selection of a site for The Scripps Research Institute.
There are plenty of other do-nots when it comes to the major statewide issues.... Do not change growth management laws in a way that will have the public subsidizing the sprawl that eats up water storage areas and strains services.
It's no fun to start out with the negative, but most Floridians would have benefited more recently from Tallahassee's inaction. In 2003, for example, the Legislature approved the largest phone-rate increase in the state's history, just after the companies had spent $5 million on election campaigns. Also that year, the Legislature delayed cleanup of Everglades pollution for 10 years. But even after 60 days, lawmakers did not pass a budget, the one issue where inaction is illegal. It took special sessions to work that out.
So this year, with property insurance the big consumer issue after last year's hurricanes, helping Floridians is atop the to-do list. We don't define "help" as merely making sure that if coverage is available, the only option will be the state-run insurer of last resort at exorbitant rates. We define "help" as changing the current market, in which the insurers basically choose their customers, to one in which the consumers choose their insurer...

Sarasota Herald-Tribune, on aid distribution policies deserve congressional attention:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency's response to Florida's battering by four hurricanes last year may come under some much-needed congressional scrutiny.
U.S. Reps. Katherine Harris and Mark Foley have called for hearings to investigate how FEMA distributed relief aid.
Harris, R-Longboat Key, thinks smaller counties like Hardee have been shortchanged.
Foley, R-West Palm Beach, is irritated that FEMA has taken so long to reimburse counties for hurricane cleanup expenses that the agency promised to cover.
A Senate investigation is also under way, with hearings expected.
Undoubtedly, a pressing topic for any hearings will also be the mess in Miami-Dade County, where FEMA paid $30 million in damage claims to 10,000 people _ even though all of the hurricanes missed that area by at least 100 miles.
FEMA officials continue to defend those payments, despite the fact that 14 of the recipients have been indicted on federal fraud charges...
FEMA has much to explain. And perhaps congressional pressure will lead to a change in some misguided policies, such as FEMA's reluctance to pay for debris removal from private property _ a problem that has plagued Charlotte County.
Hurricane victims haven't gotten many answers from FEMA. Maybe Congress will.

South Florida Sun-Sentinel, on U.S. rivals for political clout:
Wednesday's tres presidentes summit laid out the test facing the Bush administration in Latin America.
In a conference room atop a Uruguayan hotel, the leaders of Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela met to map out a collaborative strategy. At the end of the meeting, Argentina's foreign minister, Rafael Bielsa, reportedly said the gathering showed the animals had escaped from the farm, a reference to George Orwell's Animal Farm rebellion.
Bielsa was referring to the three countries' possible cooperation in negotiations with the International Monetary Fund, to give themselves stronger bargaining positions. The comment, however, could also apply to the countries' distancing from the "Washington Consensus" urging free-market strategies.
That's concerning, given the growing influence the "ABV" countries could wield...
The ABV countries have, to varying degrees, positioned themselves as rivals to U.S. diplomacy, and are laying out a significant challenge to the United States on its home field. Sure, Washington counts on support from other major players, including Mexico, Canada and Chile. A free-trade treaty with the Central American nations currently being debated in Congress would help, too.
But is a split hemisphere in anyone's interest?
The Bush administration should respond by acknowledging the threat to liberty and democracy posed by hemispheric poverty, which is at the root of political instability, economic nationalism and violence in the Americas. Proposing a comprehensive plan to deal with poverty would borrow, pun intended, the very issue the ABV populists have played up in their rise to power.
There is much to gain from strong partnerships and ties... and in the process defuse the brewing rivalry that could further divide and fracture hemispheric unity.

The Gainesville Sun, on drilling oil off the coast of Florida and Alaska:
For all the emphasis being placed in Washington, D.C., on drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, one might think it is the single most important element in the Bush administration's proposed energy policy. Certainly, it is shaping up to be the most hotly debated energy issue in Congress.
But wait a minute: If allowing oil companies to exploit the suspected oil reserves in that remote corner of the Alaskan wilderness is so central to America's future energy security, why do the oil companies appear so lukewarm about the idea?
"If the government gave them the leases for free, they wouldn't take them," a Bush adviser, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The New York Times recently. "No oil company really cares about" drilling in the refuge...
The industry's seeming indifference may have to do with pessimistic or inconclusive evidence about just how much oil may be available for tapping in the refuge. By one government estimate, it's about 10 billion barrels of oil. At full production, that might yield one million barrels a day _ about 4 percent of the nation's daily need...
So why the political enthusiasm for drilling when the industry doesn't seem to care?
Well, one theory is that opening up the Arctic Refuge would make it politically easier to drill off the coasts of Florida and California later on...
So why should Floridians care about drilling in the Arctic? It's not like they want to start sinking wells off our own golden beaches.
At least, not yet.

wait a minute, I thought Greer appointed Wolfson and that appointment was questioned by the attorney for Gov. Bush
Thanks....they are both good stories and I want to particulary thank you for the first one!
