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
LOL!!!! Now are you telling me we are all going to have to start watching our p's and doodles.
Absolutely!!! Some of my most valuable time in prayer has been alone in the car talking to my dear Savior!! ( Just KEEP your EYES on the road!!LOL!)..
I don't care what sort of evidence is required to show "informed consent", if Judge Greer is allowed to decide whether such evidence exists, he'll find it whether it exists or not.
Judge Greer needs to be impeached.
Add me to the ping for any running prayer ping....Prayer is what I try to always be there for!
Yes, he does. After we get Terri out of the woods (I like to think positively)it is one of the first tasks upon which we should concentrate.
American Life League Calls on Catholic Churches to Engage in Prayer and Action for Terri Schiavo; If Feeding Tube is Removed, Disabled Woman will Begin to Die
3/2/2005
To: National Desk
Contact: Amber Dolle of American Life League, 540-903-9572 or adolle@all.org
WASHINGTON, March 2 /U.S. Newswire/ -- American Life League denounces the inhumane death sentence that will be imposed upon Terri Schiavo if Judge George Greer does not reverse his order to remove her feeding tube on March 18. "Judge Greer's ruling is unconscionable," said Judie Brown, president of American Life League. "Terri is not being treated as the living, breathing human person that she is. Rather, her basic civil rights are being tragically trampled upon."
Terri Schiavo is a disabled woman currently living in a Florida hospice. She is not terminally ill, and is able to breathe on her own. She does, however, require a feeding tube for routine nutrition and hydration. "Time is running out for Terri, but we encourage people not to give up hope," Brown explained. "Now more than ever, the Catholic Church must pray and take action on Terri's behalf. Bishop Robert Lynch of St. Petersburg and his brother bishops across Florida and the rest of the United States must not let Terri die a painful death while they quietly sit by and do nothing."
The Florida Catholic Conference released a statement Feb. 28 stating its "continued concerns for Terri Schiavo." Said Brown, "To the best of our knowledge, there has been a tremendous lack of effort from the Florida Catholic Conference - and in particular from Bishop Lynch, who is Terri's bishop - to assist in this situation. Now is the time for them to offer Masses for Terri's safety and encourage every priest in Florida do likewise, preaching from the pulpits on why one can never remove food and water from a person whose death is not imminent. The priests should also be encouraged to participate in public vigils and prayer services for Terri and to contact public officials insisting that everything possible be done to protect this innocent woman's life."
If Terri's feeding tube is removed, it could take as long as several weeks for her to die an excruciating death from starvation and dehydration. "We call on Catholics everywhere to pray for Terri and for the spiritual conversion of her husband, Michael," Brown said, "All Christians - clergy and lay people alike - must display true courage and stand against this injustice. Terri is not dead yet and we must do all we can to prevent that tragedy from occurring."

Yes, it will. The tentacles of Euthanasia are EVERYWHERE, even in the hearts and minds of average American citizens.
Maybe that sinkhole was really the gates of hell opening up to receive the good ol' boy network...
And BTW, bump :)
even in the hearts and minds of average American citizens
Many times these Americans have $$ in their eyes in trying to get rid of the elderly, disabled, and unwanted.
Believe it or not, someone once made the argument to me, that people "tube" their family members so they can keep getting their SS checks. According to the same person, that's why Nancy Reagan "tubed" President Ronald Reagan.
WE really do have our work cut out for us.
Actually the petition is likely just a gnat or a flea that's aggravating but he doesn't see as a threat. I think DCF is a tick that ain't gonna let go and the dog is gonna scratch and try to get it off but it's not going anywhere.
Realistically I don't know if the petition will cause the House to impeach but it's sure going to let them know that the consequences of their action or inaction is being watched all over the world. People are commenting that they don't want to retire some place where they could be put to death.
I thought this piece of legislation would include Terri. ??
Governor Jeb Bush says he supports legislation that would prohibit the withdrawal of nutrition and hydration from a patient, unless that person has a written directive stating that doing so is okay.
The proposed law has been filed in Tallahassee by Representative Dennis Baxley. But he's not sure if the plan could be retroactive to include the case of Terri Schiavo.
Governor Bush says he plans to talk to Baxley about the bill next week when the spring legislative session starts.

I pleaded with him to forget the politics and become a voice for God, a leader of his flock, a man who puts LOVE above all. I asked if he had EVER tended to the Schindlers in the hell they undergo.
I WISH I had had the article Chocolate Rose just posted to refer to....it speaks to the lack of attention Bishop LYNCH has given to Terri and her family....
PLEASE CALL BISHOP LYNCH at 727-341-6830.
I don't want to be the only voice on that machine tomorrow morning.
Please speak to his breaking with the Pope. That his washing his hands of it is not unlike Pilot. That he MUST act now that he knows of Michael Shiavo's lifestyle, ask if he knows of the bone scans that indicate Terri was abused, ask if he knows that Terri responds, ask if he has EVER used his voice to HELP TERRI's parents, tell him you will write the Vatican, that the POPE needs to know more about this case and Bishop Lynch's FAILURE to act as a Man of God. Tell Bishop Lynch that he leaves a retired priest, ALONE, without support, to handle this incredible burden.
Remind him that the world is watching, that his friendship with Greer, or his lawfirms friendship has not gone unnoticed.
This is NOT political. This is spiritual. And this is about LIFE AND DEATH.
If he has been listening to the wrong people ( probably his attorneys) he now knows a little of the flip side, only an INKLING, and he needs to ACT.
He has a responsibility to work for life. His press release was the stuff of cowardice and corruption.
Like I wrote, how I wish I had been armed with the post Chocolate Rose just made a few posts up, especially the part down about 2/3 that speaks to the Catholic group being so disappointed in Lynch's lack of concern.
Please USE THIS in your voice mail...let him KNOW that his name is out there, with the words that he has NOT STOOD UP FOR LIFE.
PLEASE DON'T LET MY VOICE BE THE ONLY ON ON THE MACHINE TOMORROW IN LYNCH's OFFICE! Again. The number is
727-341-6830
And if you cannot call, perhaps cannot afford it, whatever, please EMAIL this man at
VI@dosp.org
God Bless Everyone. Help fill this Bishop's office with Terri's plight.
