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.

Oh Please God, I am crying like a baby.
Don't forget that the Schindler's attorney Gibbs has filed a request for emergency stay with the U.S. Supremes (Kennedy). However, last time this case was brought before the Supremes, they used it for toilet paper.
Our joy turns to grief so fast and every time. Just think how the Schindler's feel. Poor things, they're probably used to it. How many years has this been going on?
Why on earth doesn't Michael Schiavo GIVE IT UP ALREADY?!
Do you chew whole persimmons?

I believe Tom Harkin has a brother who is blind. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he would be for protecting the disabled.
That being said, it truly IS an act of God that Harkin and I actually agree on something!
I don't wake up and take a poll each morning to see how I should live my life or what I should stand for. I don't vote for people who do this either.
Shem just said that the President has come out and spoke out supporting the parents. They just have to get that bill over to him.
Judicial Decrees Are Not 'The Rule of Law' says Randall Terry
Letter Regarding Terri Schiavo Challenges Florida Legislators to Uphold the Rule of Law and Resist Judicial Tyranny
To: National Desk
Contact: Gary McCullough, 202-546-0054
CLEARWATER, Fl., March 17 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue, and the President of the Society for Truth and Justice wrote the following letter to Florida Legislators in hopes that they will act to save Terri Schiavo's life:
Dear Senators and Representatives.
As you know, Terry Schiavo is scheduled to begin starvation on Friday, March 18 at 1 p.m.
The unavoidable question with which you must wrestle is this: does a decree by the Supreme Court of the State of Florida, the court of Judge Greer, or any court in the world for that matter, by definition represent "the rule of law?"
The answer must be "no": a judicial decree does not equal "the rule of law." Otherwise, the judicial decrees of Nazi Germany, or Soviet Russia, or Communist China, or Saddam Hussein's Iraq would all be the equivalent of the rule of law. If judicial decrees are the equivalent of the rule of law, then judges can do no wrong; they cannot commit crimes against humanity; and they must not be resisted or disobeyed. The word of a judge would be the rule of law, and judges would reign as an oligarchy amongst us, like gods who walk among men.
Because of your position in the Legislature, Providence has seen fit to make you a part of this battle, and given you the opportunity to help rescue her from a cruel death. Moreover, you have the opportunity to be a part of the larger battle to resist judicial tyranny, and restore justice, the rule of law, and true self government to our state and nation.
As you know, her "death sentence" by starvation and dehydration has been issued by the courts and affirmed by the highest court in our state.
Over the past 40 years, the most sweeping (and most Americans believe the most repugnant) changes on America's political and ethical landscape have been forced upon us by the courts.
You know that the litany of judicial decrees that have unraveled our society is sweeping: removing prayer and the Bible from public schools; removing the 10 Commandments from school hallways and government buildings; striking "under God" from our Pledge of Allegiance; abortion on demand up until the day of birth; allowing the hideous practice of "partial birth abortion;" creating "homosexual marriage" from thin air; unleashing a flood of violent pornography and child pornography in print and on the Internet; telling mothers and fathers that they do not have the right to know if they're 14-year-old daughter is undergoing an abortion; all of these injustices and evils (and many more like them) have come through the judiciary.
But what makes this even more alarming, is that we let them do this. Chief executives and legislative bodies at the federal and state level have wrung their hands in distress, but then bowed in submission to these usurpations of power. Voters in state after state have thrown up their hands in disgust after ballot initiatives have been struck down by ideologues on the bench.
Our founders saw the danger of any political force ruling as despots over us, so they created three separate but equal branches of government. Moreover, in the United States Constitution in article 3 section 2, the United States Congress is specifically authorized to tell the courts that they may not rule on a certain subject. This is the essence of true self government under God; that "we the people" elect officials who represent us and our wishes in the body politic; and when necessary, our elected officials tell judges to "get lost."
The "rule of law" has historically meant that "The Law" rules. The Law is fixed from above by heaven itself. The "rule of law" is the "eternal rules of order" of which George Washington spoke; the "laws of nature and nature's God" of which Thomas Jefferson spoke; the "10 Commandments" of which James Madison spoke. The rule of law is the "self evident truth" that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator... not the state, but by almighty God... with certain inalienable rights. The purpose of government is to safeguard those God-given rights, and to resist those forces that seek to deny or destroy the rule of Law.
The Declaration of Independence states that when government (including the judiciary) becomes destructive towards those ends, it is the right and the duty of people to resist and confront those powers that seek to destroy life, liberty, justice, and the rule of law.
The unbridled growth of despotic powers that the judiciary has arrogated to itself has long since reached a point of crisis. I'm sure that Thomas Jefferson and George Washington could never have conceived of the heirs of liberty lying prostrate before the feet of the American judiciary.
In the life and death struggle of Terry Schiavo we see the life and death struggle of a free people. I do not believe that I am overstating the crisis we face; nor am I using hyperbole. When judges betray 1700 years of Western civilization and 400 years of American jurisprudence by ordering homosexual marriage, or the removal of the 10 Commandments, or the starvation of an innocent woman (etc.), it represents a crisis of epic proportions.
The mood of the nation is both frustrated and angry with judicial activists. A cry of joy went up all over America when Governor Bush and the Florida legislature passed "Terri's Law" the first time. Finally, we saw a governor and a Legislature that had the courage and the will (as well as the love of justice) to use their constitutional authority to reign in a runaway branch of government. In that moment, you were champions of justice, as well as the rule of law.
But as you know, a howl of complaint rose from that radical minority that has promoted its unjust agenda through judicial decrees and decisions. Any student of a recent American history knows that the bizarre agenda of the far left has been shoved down our throat via the courts. What they could never do through self-government via the legislative process, they have done by means of judicial activism. Perhaps they howl for fear that the reign of the judiciary is ending.
And so my friends, Providence has seen fit to once again entrust into your hands the struggle for Terri's life and the justice due her. Moreover, you have an indispensable duty to resist judicial tyranny, and fight to restore self-government and the rule of law to our great but ailing Republic.
The life of Terri Schiavo, and the threat we face from activist judges are of grave importance to the citizens of Florida. In the big picture, Terri’s life and our struggle for self-government and the rule of law may be the most critical items on your agenda right now.
50 or 100 years from now, students of history may well view this as one of those seminal moments in the life of a nation. They may view the epic struggle in which you are now a player as a key battle that restored true self-government and the rule of law to our nation.
Or, God forbid, our descendents could look back on this moment, and see that an innocent woman was cruelly starved to death, while those in authority wrung their hands and said "there's nothing we can do." They may view this as another key battle in which the life of our republic ebbed away, and we languished as subjects of an Imperial Judiciary.
I and millions of other Floridians, as well as millions of Americans from across the country are praying you will have the wisdom, the strength, and courage to stand for Terri and for the rule of law in this key moment of our nation's history. May God make you equal to the task.
Randall Terry,
President, The Society for Truth and Justice
Don't believe anything at this point. I will just tell you this, the House cannot, repeat, cannot pass the same bill the Senate passed. That type of bill applying to one person's situation can be stopped cold in the House if only two members object to it. And there are plenty more than two who would.

Oh no. What is wrong with these people?
There are two different bills. The House cannot pass the Senate Bill and the Senate cannot pass the House bill. And they are going on recess. What bill are they going to get to the President?
The House has not yet recessed according to another freeper here. The House is going to have to take up the Seante bill if we have any chance of saving her life.

I totally agree!! Those STUDID POLLS were posted on Court TV message boards by people who want Terri MURDERED!!!
In fact that very poll was posted there either yesterday or the day before by a Rabid SUPPORTER OF MICHAEL SCHIVAO.
I POSTED this on Court TV - SINCE WHEN DO WE AS A COUNTRY, USE STINKING POLLS TO MURDER INNOCENT PEOPLE.
what foulup are you talking about? I thought the President was going to sign something tonight and it was then being rushed to a federal judge to issue a stay.
Michael Savage said earlier that the fate of this country all comes down to what we do to this one woman, Terri.
whoops, not blind, deaf I think.
*sigh* I think everyone is getting confused here.
The House adjourned this evening at 6:15 EST.
Obviously ignoramuses who know nothing about the facts about the case voted in that poll.
Peddle it elsewhere.
