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.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR CONTACT INFO, IT IS ON THE WAY. Thanks, floriduh voter
I thought I had read FRIST did support it. But FRIST'S aide was ADAMANT that he hadn't made up his mind.
"Please contact James Sensenbrenner. I was told by one of the legislative aides he has some concerns about the Bill and its possible repercussions as it is written now. According to this aide, Sensenbrenner is generally most particular about the wording of bills. While the aide is hopeful H.R. 1151 will pass, he is worried it may not pass in time."
That's the feeling I got when I called his office. At least it is finally on the schedule on Wednesday, but there is nothing on the sschedule for Monday in the Judiciary Committee.

This new big brother sound bite by Michael STILL DOESN'T SAY HOW MUCH HE LOVES TERRI because he just wants to have greer murder her for him.
NEWS BULLETIN FROM TALLAHASSEE: Announcing, Baxley was on my tv and he fast-tracked 701 so it will be to the floor by next Thursday or Friday, just in time. There are also guardianship bills relating Terri that they didn't explain. Thank you Rep. Baxley. Thank you, freepers. (I'm still too sick to make phone calls). FV
FRIST IS A MEDICAL DOCTOR who does heart transplants. I HOPE THE ORGAN HARVESTERS HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO HIM.
What did the caller say?
JUDGE GREER BREAKS LAW TO ENSURE TERRI SCHIAVO'S DEATH
by MNA PRESS
http://www.montanasnews.com/articles.php?mode=view&id=1612
Judge George W. Greer ignores Florida laws and orders the premeditated killing of disabled Florida woman by her husband
Clearwater, FL., March 10 /Covenant News Wire Service/ -- On Tuesday and Wednesday, March 8 and 9, 2005, Sixth Circuit Judge George W. Greer issued three orders that all but assure the death of Terri Schiavo, beginning on Friday, March 18, 2005.
Order Denying Food and Fluids Naturally After Gastric Tube Removal
Greer ordered that the family of Terri Schiavo may not introduce oral nutrition and hydration following the removal of Terri’s gastric feeding tube. Florida Statute 744.3215 (Rights of Persons Determined Incapacitated) require that incapacitated persons cannot be deprived of necessary services including food and water. Ordering that Terri Schiavo may not receive nutrition or hydration naturally is against the law, in the opinion of the Foundation.
Order Denying Updated Medical Tests
Greer ordered that no further neurological tests may be offered to Terri Schiavo, utilizing functional MRI to determine if she is in a ‘persistent vegetative state’ (As Greer found in 2002) or is her condition is ‘minimally conscious’. Florida Statute 765.404 which defines persistent vegetative state require that the condition be determined and diagnosed as permanent prior to the withdrawal of life-prolonging means. Further, Florida Statute 765.309 prevents mercy killing and assisted suicide. Without determining the true neurological condition of Terri Schiavo prior to the withdrawal of foods and fluids, the Foundation finds Judge Greer’s Order to remove Nutrition and Hydration a directive for her guardian to commit either a mercy killing or assisted suicide.
Order Denying Relief from Judgment
Greer denied an order from judgment based on his error in dismissing pertinent testimony in 2000 that would assist the court in determining Terri Schiavo’s true end of life wishes. Under Florida Statute 765.404, clear and convincing evidence of the ward’s intent for medical treatment must be established. The only evidence in support of removing Terri’s feeding tube was the self-serving hearsay testimony of her guardian (which is not admissible under FS 90.602) and hearsay from two members of his immediate family. Greer systematically ruled that testimony from Terri’s friends and family was unreliable or not credible. His failure to consider all evidence of Terri Schiavo’s attitudes towards life-prolonging measures, in the Foundation’s opinion, is a clear violation of Florida Statutes.
Statement of Pamela Hennessy, Media Director for the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation: If there is a single person following this who doesn’t believe Judge Greer has legislated from the bench, trampled Florida’s laws and deprived Terri Schiavo of her retained rights, they are simply not paying attention. Disability and Eldercare advocates need to be calling for his immediate impeachment.
MRS would have his own feeding tube if he needed it; yet for some reason this charlatan can easily con gullible Americans.
Tennessee's Frist is HEMMING AND HAWING ABOUT SB 5391 that would protect incapacitated Americans. ANY WAY TO GET THIS GUY TO WAKE UP or is he towing the line for the prez or something?????
if michael let schnitt see Terri, you better believe he'd order the hospice grunts to sedate her first.
SENATOR FRIST just NEEDS encouragement. Please call his office on Monday. Dial (202)224-3121 and they will connect you.
Major BUMMER!!!!!
LUCY HADI OF DCF said this evening that they are looking into their options i.e. appeal greer's ruling blah blah blah. A real non-specific statement by the Secretary of DCF today.
I have been finding that the the staffers that I have talked to are the least bit confused about this...gosh, I wish I had their job. LOL
am weak. thanks for asking.
rest, take it easy so you can recover.
I have a friend in Tennesee. I will pass this on to her
Many staffers are low-paid telephone contacts and are not expected to know the details of legislation. Others are more knowledgeable and committed to the various bills being considered. Most of them probably don't have strong opinions on most bills under consideration.
ALL: Terri Schiavo Is An Innocent Person Who Will Fall Victim to Capital Punishment If Her Feeding Tube Is Removed

News Advisory:
-- Terri Schiavo Is An Innocent Person Who Will Fall Victim To Capital Punishment If Her Feeding Tube Is Removed
-- American Life League Joins Numbers of Supporters at Press Conference and Rally in Support of Terri
American Life League Vice-President Jim Sedlak will join numerous pro-life leaders and an untold number of supporters at a press conference and prayer vigil in support of Terri Schiavo on Saturday, March 12, at noon in Pinellas Park, Fla. "American Life League considers it an honor and a duty to speak out on behalf of Terri Schiavo," said Sedlak. "Our main message at these events is that a human being can never become a 'vegetable.' "
"Despite efforts by politicians and so-called medical professionals," Sedlak said, "the terms 'persistent vegetative state' and 'minimal conscious state' are simply devices to describe the medical status of a human being. Terri is a person. She will always be a person and attempts by the medical and legal communities to take away her rights are tragic and misguided."
Despite erroneous reports about Terri's status, she is not terminally ill; she simply requires a feeding tube for routine nutrition and hydration. "As the deadline for Terri's life gets closer, it is urgent that all those in a position to influence this case remember that Terri is a PERSON with all the rights given to every person in the United States by the Constitution," Sedlak said. "For a judge to impose capital punishment on an innocent person is outrageous and every person in America should be active in trying to correct this injustice. If they can do this to Terri today, they can do it to anyone else tomorrow."
EVENT DETAILS:
WHAT: Jim Sedlak, vice-president of American Life League, speaking at rally and press conference in support of Terri Schiavo
WHEN: Saturday, March 12, beginning at noon.
WHERE: Woodside Hospice: 6770 102nd Ave., Pinellas Park, Fla.
