PRESS RELEASE:
MARCH 18. 2005
2:00 PM EASTERN TIME
ATTORNEY BARBARA WELLER TOLD TERRI THAT THEY WERE GOING TO REMOVE HER FEEDING TUBE , TERRI BEGAN TO CRY AND TRIED TO SAY "I WANT TO LIVE" ATTORNEY WELLER SAID SHE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME CALMING TERRI DOWN.
WE NEED PEOPLE TO SURROUND HOSPICE IN PROTEST TO JUDGE GREER'S RULING STATING HE WILL OVER RIDE FEDERAL SUBPOENA AND WILL REMOVE TERRI'S FEEDING TUBE IMMEDIATELY.
FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT COME TO FLORIDA...PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATORS. PLEASE DO NOT STOP YOUR CALLS.
ACTION BY THE PEOPLE MUST TAKE PLACE TO SAVE TERRI FROM JUDICIAL HOMICIDE.
JUDGE GREER IS WRONG AND IS NOT LISTENING TO CONGRESS.
Exactly. I wonder if treatments used for people with severe cerebral palsy could help her.
It would be great if she were brought to congress.
"The Passion of Terri". That's a right-on analogy.
Personally, I suspect a week with her parents and a new kitty would do wonders.
Sounds like someone with severe cerebral palsy.
I wonder how judges treat people with CP in Florida.
Meanwhile...WHERE IS JEB BUSH?!!!!?
And you only give credence to the words that fit your own personal agenda....this makes you extremely uncredible.
Won't they be surprised! And that greasy little attorney of Michael's, too!
It probably would do her a world of good -- and it certainly wouldn't hurt her to try those things. (I suspect it would hurt Michael's case)
If I say "I want to be cremated when I die" does that mean it's okay to lock me in a closet for a few weeks until I pass on? I mean my wish is to be cremated right?
If starving Terri isn't cruel and unusual, I surely don't think some Iraqis with underpants on their heads constitutes torture.
No. I got a recording for Senator Warner's office and I left a message. I spoke with a real person at Senator Allen's office and he said that he would pass my message along to the Senator.
Hurt it? I would suspect that after a week with the parents and a kitty there'd be no way any reasonable person could deny that Terri wasn't cognitive and aware.
How appropriate that you should mention horse$hit and civilization in the same post.
[sarcasm] The proof that we are civilized is in the legislation Dianne Feinstein has introduced to make sure our American horses aren't slaughtered to feed people overseas.
SENATOR FEINSTEIN'S HORSE SLAUGHTER BILL
A bill worthy of support will be introduced soon in Congress by California's Senator Dianne Feinstein to prohibit the slaughter of American horses for human consumption abroad. The Bill will be referred to as SB(number to come) Feinstein Bill and will probably be referred to merely as the Horse Slaughter Bill.As Americans, most of us were shocked to learn that this odious, ugly and gut-wrenching practice even exists. Why? The reason is simple. Horse slaughter, or the slaughter of our pleasure, nonfood animals, is not and never will be part of our culture.
Sorry, I was using "understatement."
May the Lord be with Terri and her family right now.
St. Jude, we need your intercession.
I'm going to Florida. See you there, people...
Which should be a clue!!
Update from the Hospice
I was at the attorney's briefing later, around dusk. He reported Terri in good spirits, cheerful, sitting in a lounge type chair, not yet experiencing the pain and discomfort they visit on her.
She should be fine or at least not too bad through the weekend to Monday.
Later in the week, Holy Week, I must emphasize, she could start suffering irreversable damage.
Lord help us, her poor family need lots of support in prayers.
Also talked to Bo Gritz who was there peacefully, not stirring anything up. We wondered at what moment the marshalls would flood in to rescue Terri.
*crickets*
Update to Cheryl's comments, sure would be nice for a lot more of us from freerepublic to be here...
