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.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR CONTACT INFO, IT IS ON THE WAY. Thanks, floriduh voter
Retroactive should be balanced or everything to date is null and void.
They can't just apply retroactivity when they want to harm her. We have more phone calls to make to Tallahassee.
Yes, I put that link up higher on this thread. TEJ is doing a fantastic job. I can barely keep up and don't even need my local fishwrappers for Terri news that is really watered down - bland, for the masses.
Yes, Michael is another one with one of those mean faces.
About psychologists, I believe, many of them, not all, go into the field because they have issues themselves, and study it in an attempt to cure themselves.
But what do I know? :)
Post #378 bump!
"701 means that Terri won't be starved to death if they get that bill passed and Governor Bush signs it."
Praying that it gets passed, and soon. Time is of the essence here.
Regarding Bishop Lynch, I personally would call him a C.I.N.O. (Catholic In Name Only), if what I read about him is true.
Now Father Pavone, and the other Priests for Life, are REAL Catholics.
I AM THE MOTHER OF A SEVERELY HANDICAPPED 18 YEAR OLD YOUNG WOMAN WHOSE GUARDIANSHIP CASE IS OVERSEEN BY GREER. I AM REQUIRED BY LAW TO FILE AN ANNUAL GUARDIANSHIP PLAN TO GREER TO ESTABLISH PROPER CARE OF MY DAUGHTER WHICH INCLUDES WHAT STEPS I AM TAKING TO IMPROVE HER CONDITION BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY.
I FIND IT AN EXTREME ABUSE OF HIS JUDICIAL POWERS THAT HE IS NOT ENFORCING THE LAWS PERTAINING TO GUARDIANSHIPS. I HAVE BEEN BEFORE GREER IN A HEARING AND I WAS TOLD TO BRING MY DAUGHTER TO THE HEARING SO HE COULD SEE HER AND BETTER RULE ON HER INCAPACITIES.
WHY HASN'T HE BEEN TO SEE TERRI SCHIAVO OR HAD HER BROUGHT TO THE COURT?
I AM NOT A DOCTOR BUT I DO WORK IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND I CAN TELL BY SIMPLY LOOKING AT THE NEWS VIDEOS THAT THIS WOMAN IS NOT IN A VEGETATIVE STATE.
I IMPLORE YOU TO SAVE THIS WOMAN'S LIFE FOR HER SAKE AND THE LIVES OF ALL WHO WILL COME AFTER HER. NONE OF US ARE IN A POSITION TO DETERMINE WHICH OF US IS WORTHY TO LIVE. WE CANNOT SET THIS PRECEDENT
Your post. It's making the rounds.
Check the petition signatures .. there are posts from Poland!! Wonderful that this is getting international attention... that's what's needed. Pray for Pope John;s health .. and pray that he may offer some direct statement as well about Terri.
Feeding tubes were okay when Terri had her incident. Then suddenly, in 1998 or 1999, her feeding tube was deemed artificial life support meaning they were then free to kill her which WAS ALWAYS WRONG BECAUSE SHE'S NOT PVS. But, retroactivity applies for or against her. Not just again.
WOW -- POWERFUL, fv!!! BTTT to POST 494!! and WORTH re-reading.
Jeb Bush can also play it smart and gentlemanly, and ASK MS for permission to visit Terri. That's what I'd like to see .. and then let's see what that miserable man does.
Posts from Poland? Makes me extra proud to be of Polish decent. Wait til I tell my mom.
I'm also half Italian. Any Italians? :)
I have a prolem with lugsoul, hildy, flaglady47, KDD but mostly daylate-dollarshort. daylate-dollarshort is attached to the courts somehow and knows Greer. These posters bait people.
I read a number of good writings by Father Pavone, but there was one that was tougher and more blunt, and told about how Michael turned around Terri's family's pictures in her room, wouldn't let her see cute small doggies that were brought in to cheer up patients, etc.
Can you, or anyone tell me how to find it?
I get so tired of the excuse that Terri is PVS, so she has the "right" to die with "dignity." Even if Terri were PVS (and I don't believe she is), does that mean she deserves to die of starvation? Is that how these disrupters would want to die? What kind of person would starve another living human being to death? What harm can there be in MS giving her a divorce and letting her go home with her parents?
Anyone who wants Terri to die needlessly should read a very important book, The Power of the Powerless. But I wonder if they'd understand what the author was trying to say.
Here is an excerpt of the article that starts the book:
Power of the Powerless: A Brother's Lesson
By Christopher de Vinck
I grew up in the house where my brother was on his back in his bed for almost 33 years, in the same corner of his room, under the same window, beside the same yellow walls. Oliver was blind, mute. His legs were twisted. He didn't have the strength to lift his head nor the intelligence to learn anything.
Today I am an English teacher, and each time I introduce my class to the play about Helen Keller, "The Miracle Worker," I tell my students about Oliver. One day, during my first year teaching, a boy in the last row raised his hand and said, "Oh, Mr. de Vinck. You mean he was a vegetable."
I stammered for a few seconds. My family and I fed Oliver. We changed his diapers, hung his clothes and bed linen on the basement line in winter, and spread them out white and clean on the lawn in the summer. I always liked to watch the grasshoppers jump on the pillowcases.
We bathed Oliver. Tickled his chest to make him laugh. Sometimes we left the radio on in his room. We pulled the shade down over his bed in the morning to keep the sun from burning his tender skin. We listened to him laugh as we watched television downstairs. We listened to him rock his arms up and down to make the bed squeak. We listened to him cough in the middle of the night.
"Well, I guess you could call him a vegetable. I called him Oliver, my brother. You would have liked him."
... Even now, five years after his death, Oliver remains the weakest, most helpless human being I ever met, and yet he was one of the most powerful. He could do absolutely nothing except breathe, sleep and eat; yet he was responsible for love, courage and insight.
The rest of the aricle is here and elsewhere on the internet:
Terri is an innocent woman and does not deserve a death sentence!
Which post?
I wonder what Michael Schiavo would do if Governor Bush showed up at the hospice to visit with Terri? Is he going to say, "you can't visit her"? MS would be in such an awkward position huh? But actually, I think Governor Bush should have visited Terri LONG ago!!
Please let's keep emailing George Noory and producers, and ask them for a 4 hour show about this major event.
