TERRI SCHIAVO MARCH 2005 DAILIES Fla's Til of the Hun Sets March Date to Starve Terri
Terri's Fight, The Empire Journal, World Net Daily, Life News ^ | February 28, 2005 | floriduh voter

Posted on 02/28/2005 7:08:08 AM PST by floriduh voter

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.

GUIDELINES: If you want to start frivolous discussions, please start your own thread in chat.

If you like something from www.theempirejournal.com, please do not post the entire article at Free Republic. Unless I hear otherwise, I believe that we are allowed to post the title and link. TEJ is a great team member of Terri's network. Thanks, TEJ for making a difference and for getting the truth out there.

Cruzan case that "clear and convincing evidence" from the victim was needed to starve and dehydrate a disabled person. Of course, there is no such "evidence" in Terri's case: only what George W. Greer and George J. Felos dictate.

And you do notice that Terri's attornies never argued that point. Just like they didn't notice the error in Greer's opinion that Karen Ann Quinlan was alive until 1985 when Greer said she died in 1976.

Hey girl, I am so sorry. The flu is miserable.

Good to see your screenname on the boards, and pray you have a quick recovery. You and Floriduh_Voter are in the same stuggle.

And I stand with you on your DCF comments!

You say less painful.... Would that ALSO BE TO DIE FASTER??

I believe in some cases it's to deliberately hasten death. A friend of ours died of cancer about 6 months ago. He took very little morphine those last few days. He didn't want to take it. He was at home when he died. I disagree with the practice of Hospice or Doctors to decided what's best for a person. Why not allow the person to make that decision. I've been sobbing over what Clearwater, Florida has in store for Terri. How dare they plan to harm Terri.

SOMEONE IN THAT STINKING TOWN BETTER DO SOMETHING TO HELP TERRI.

THE DCF HAS THE AUTHORITY. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO ACT. IF THEY DON'T ACT, GOV JEB BUSH BETTER DO SOMTHING.

JEB BUSH CAN SEND IN THE NATIONAL GUARD.

As I remember, Bob Marshall was the one who called the hospital and threatened to cut out the hospital's federal funding if Terri's feeding tube wasn't put back in.

Seems the hospital had been threatened by a lawsuit from Felos if the tube was put back in.Terri had laid there for several hours while the hospital did nothing til Marshall called. The hospital didn't believe it was Bob Marshall and he said you'll believe it tomorrow when your funding stops.

Bob Marshall and Mel Gibson, I love you guys!

Regarding "clear and convincing evidence" ... from World Net Daily at Post #5439 ...

That Schiavo's attitude and actions changed as soon as the money from the malpractice suit was in the bank was not lost on Pearse.

"From that point forward, the ward's husband has isolated the ward from her parents, has on at least one occasion refused to consent for the ward to be treated for an infection, and, ultimately, four years later, has filed the instant petition for the withdrawal of life support on the basis of evidence apparently known only to him which could have been asserted at any time during the ward's illness," he said.

"Since there is no corroborative evidence of the ward's intentions, and since the only witness claiming to have such evidence is the one person who will realize a direct and substantial financial benefit from the ward's death, the undersigned guardian ad litem is of the opinion that the evidence of the ward's intentions developed by the investigation, does not meet the clear and convincing standard."

Charging Pearse was "biased" towards Schiavo, Felos promptly had Pearse removed as guardian ad litem. No one was appointed in his place.

By the time the case came to trial in Jan. 2000, Schiavo had found two witnesses to corroborate his version of Terri's wishes: Scott Schiavo, his brother, and Joan Schiavo, a sister-in-law.

Greer accepted their testimony as "creditable and reliable." Not as good as "clear and convincing," but apparently close enough.

WHOSE CONTROLLING THE MEDIA IN FLORIA?? WE NEED THE NATIONAL MEDIA TO READ THIS BOARD. PERHAPS THERE'S SOME HONEST TRUTH SEEKING REPORTERS LEFT IN THIS COUNTRY!!!

MAY GOD HELP US, IF OUR MEDIA CONTINUES TO STAND BY WHILE THIS TORTUREOUS MURDER TAKES PLACE.

I know how you feel!

If klinton (reno) could order a swat team to grab a little fellow at gunpoint surely Jeb could order the DCF to take custody of Terri since literally NO completed DCF investigation has taken place!

If the legislature fails....before morning of the 18th...then it is time to follow the law and honor the OBLIGATION of the DCF to investigate FULLY! If they need armed people to get this job done, then so be it.

But they did not appeal it to the United States Supreme Court where they always have said the wanted "clear and convincing" evidence.

You have 4 agencies working to help Terri. The Governors office, DCF, Florida congress, and Federal congress. I hope they aren't waiting, hoping the other will move first. I don't want to see Terri go thru the weekend without water, forcing one of them to step up to the plate.

I'm starting to wonder what they ALL are??

ARE THEY JUST PLAYING GAMES WITH THEIR BILLS. TRYING TO WASTE PRECIOUS TIME? WE NEED TO BOMBARB THE MEDIA. AT THIS LATE HOUR, THE MEDIA IS TERRI'S MAIN HOPE.

Mel Gipson did a noble thing by calling Terri's parents. However, I'm will NOT BE IMPRESSED BY HIS ACTIONS IF HE DOESN'T GET HIS BEHIND TO CLEARWATER AND DEMAND TO VISIT TERRI. HE CAN GET THE MEDIA TO PAY ATTENTION.

LET'S E-MAIL GIBSON. TELL HIM TO COME TO CLEARWATER. WHAT'S HE WAITING FOR? THIS IS ABOUT A WOMAN'S LIFE FOR PETE'S SAKE.

This is a confusing line. The Schindlers did two or three times try to appeal to the USSC, but the powerful "brethern" refused to take their case. We don't even know if Scalia and Thomas had sympathy for the life of Terri.

Correct me if I am mistaken, but didn't Governor Bush say not one word over the Clintoid seizure of little Elian?

Theodore, I like you, I really do. You've posted a lot of insightful comments through the years. But your posts are just too depressing. With every post that someone makes, you always come back with an answer about why it won't work. What are you trying to accomplish? Why do you always see the glass as half empty instead of half full? Get with the program!! The Lord avenges those who are in distress! and Jesus came to save us! All is not lost! There is hope! After the crucifixion comes the resurrection! Read the Bible and believe! The Lord loves us and Jesus is the proof!

There are too many in Congress who can STOP those bills. Please be prepared for them to fail. Only a big miracle will get them through on time. We can't even count on our own Party. Look at all the RINOs in Congress and Clearwater.

The DCF needs to be called over and over again.

WE CAN'T WAIT UNTIL MARCH 18TH.

IF WE CAN'T ACCEPT REALITY - HOW CAN EXPECT THE MEDIA TO PRINT IT??
