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.

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.

Judge May Release Document In Schiavo Case
Hearing Set For Wednesday
POSTED: 6:05 pm EST March 1, 2005
UPDATED: 6:29 pm EST March 1, 2005
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- There's a court hearing scheduled for Wednesday to determine if a judge should make public a document in the case of Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged woman whose husband is seeking to remove her feeding tube.
The company that owns the Tampa Tribune and WFLA-TV sued to get access to the document in which the Florida Department of Children and Families is seeking last-minute intervention in the case.
Lawyers said the state social service agency wants to investigate possible abuse of Schiavo. Some doctors have said she has been in a vegetative state the last 15 years.
The Tribune and television station argue that usual privacy concerns don't apply because of the extensive litigation and media coverage of efforts by the woman's parents to keep her alive. Gov. Jeb Bush has said he would do anything he could legally to help save Schiavo's life.
Meanwhile, family members have filed a new flurry of legal motions. In one, Schiavo's parents ask a judge to allow the woman to divorce her husband, even after she dies.
Bob and Mary Schindler's motion accuses Michael Schiavo of adultery and not acting in his wife's best interest. The Schindlers have less than three weeks to find a way to keep their daughter alive before her feeding tube is removed.
Terri Schiavo has spent 15 years in what doctors call a vegetative state, but the Schindlers say their daughter responds to them.
Michael Schiavo says his wife once told him she wouldn't want to be kept alive artificially. His lawyer accuses the woman's parents of trying to "frustrate the court's final judgment and Terri's wishes."

Thanks for the encouragement. You are right and I'll do as you suggest.
Has DLDS actually told you that he knows Greer? As for being tied to the courts, he used to proclaim that he wrote for a senior citizens magazine, and then after was in to public relations. Wonder what expertise he'll come up with next?
It would certainly seem that George W. "Haman" Greer will not release the file on Terri, for the information there would surely discredit Greer along with his friends Schiavo and Felos.
I didn't keep up today, but I don't think he ruled yet. I haven't heard anything new on it yet.
Anybody hear anything on the ruling?
Was that Heidi law or Trudy Capone?
There was a hearing today. Greer will rul tomorrow.
Here is the AP story
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1352657/posts?page=881#881
Greer will rule tomorrow
There is no way that such hearings before George W. "Haman" Greer will help Terri at all: his mind has been made up for more than five years. People like him do NOT change.
Greer calls Terri a GIRL, not a woman. Plus, Michael Schiavo thinks Terri is his own personal property. You'd think the feminists would be up in arms.
Not Exactly. This was our last conversation. It was on 2/28.
This is his opening statement: Judge Greer is "legally blind". This doesn't mean that he can't see. He he can read with prescribed glasses but he cannot drive. Despite his visual handicap, he is a well respected and admired Judge of the Sixth Circuit Court.
He said: I have been in Judge Greer's Court on more than several occasions
I asked several times: "In what capacity?"
DLDS: I didn't answer you because frankly, my capacity when I have appeared in Judge Greer's court is none of your business.
I replied: " You volunteered the statement": "I have been in Judge Greer's Court on more than several occasions
"I told you 3 or 4 days ago that you have an agenda. On these threads you're posing as an average joe. It's now obvious that you are not".
Actually, the fact that Greer thinks of Terri as a "girl" makes his attitude towards her even more heartless, i.e., consigning a mere "girl" to death by starvation and dehydration.

By the Numbers | Death by doctor?
Compiled by Patrice Taddonio
Daily Editorial Board
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court said that it will hear the Bush administration's case against Oregon's Death With Dignity Act, which allows doctors to prescribe but not to administer lethal doses of drugs - the patient must take the dose him or herself. Also last week, a Florida state circuit court ruled that the feeding tube of Terri Schiavo - who has been comatose for 15 years, and the subject of a legal battle for seven of those - could be removed in accordance with her husband's wishes, and against those of her parents. In this installment of "By the Numbers," the Daily looks at the legal history of physician-assisted suicide.
http://www.tuftsdaily.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2005/03/01/4224053227cd6
1 Number of states with a law allowing doctor-assisted suicide (Oregon)
1997 Year in which the law was enacted
2 Times the law has been upheld by a federal appeals court
2 Times Oregon voters have upheld the law
1998 Year in which Bill Clinton's attorney general, Janet Reno, decided that Oregon's law allowing physician-assisted suicide could stand
2001 Year in which George Bush's former attorney general, John Ashcroft, challenged Reno's decision on the grounds that doctors who abet patients' suicides by prescribing lethal drugs to them are in violation of the Controlled Substances Act
2006 Year in which the Supreme Court's ruling on the matter is expected
6 or less Months away from death a person must be (in addition to having a chronic disease and being of sound mind) in order to meet the law's conditions for doctor-assisted suicide
2Physicians that must confirm that these conditions are met
171 People who have committed assisted suicide under Oregon's law
68 Average age of those people
1990 Year in which Terri Schiavo went into a coma
2 Times since then that Schiavo's feeding tube was court-ordered to be taken out
2 Times those court orders were overturned
107,000 Signatures on a petition delivered to the US Capitol by the pro-life Center for Reclaiming America in support of keeping Schiavo alive
The statistics cited above come from the Denver Post, the Houston Chronicle, Bloomberg, the Associated Press, the Washington Post, and ABC News.

This is obviously true, and that is a major part of the problem that poor Terri faces -- a corrupt but well respected and admired "judge."
I sure would like to know more about him.
