Judge George Greer ruled that the State of Florida has no right to take custody of Terri Schiavo, which ruling came hours after an appeal by Terri's parents to re-insert the feeding tube was refused by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, another hearing was scheduled tonight before US District Judge James D. Whittemore .. the same judge who previously heard and denied the request subsequent to the 'de novo' intention of the law past last weekend by the Congress and signed by President Bush, in an effort to confirm that no stone was left unturned before Terri would endure legally sanctioned dehydration until death.
We can support Terri with our votes. I'm putting all three branches of government on notice.
Jeb Bush, George Bush, and the entire Republican Party who backed REPUBLICAN Judge Greer need to know that we are not going to just vent, and then forget about it.
Republican Party phone # is 202-863-8500
The next time I get a solicitation for money from them, I will tell them to take my name off their mailing list, and tell them why!!

Because none of those people are committed to anything more than lip service for Terri...and promoting their re-released movie; hiding from ethical charges behind Terri; abiding by the weight of the polls, etc.
The cops need the water for their own hand washing.

I NEVER SAID ANY SUCH THING AS YOU WROTE ABOVE. If I did, I did it in error. Good grief. I haven't been arrested. Why in the blank would I think those who haven't are NOT supporting Terri.
That would be totally INSANE. I do not want us fighting against one another. We are on the same team. Please don't think I meant that at all.
If we have division amoung us, then the enemy will have won.
I SUPPORT TERRI AND I ALSO SUPPORT EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THIS SITE WHOSE SUPPORTS TERRI - ANYONE WHO SAYS DIFFERENT IS WRONG.
If I posted anything to make anyone think I expect people to get arrested - I DID NOT, I REPEAT I DID NOT SAY THAT.
Please people, do not fight... let's just support Terri.
Words are cheap aren't they..
Half measures avail us nothing, in this case the life of Terri.
RIGHT ON - PhilDragoo~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please keep up the great work. Your grathics prove:
A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS~!!!!
Lawyers, Judges and Congress THE REAL USELESS EATERS
When will we remove their feeding tube?
Lead me gently home, Father, lead me gently home ...
The website said 'invitation." Is that the same as a subpoena? Kind of like an invitation from the draft board?
Dear Pepper ... I'm truly not trying to pick a fight with you at all ... I'm scared about how this thread has become an attacking ground toward those who ARE in support of Terri and her parents.
Perhaps I misunderstood you, but I took from your post that I responded to that you were criticizing Mel Gibson for not being at the Hospice. But He did make a very clear public statement in support of Terri, and we have no idea what responsibilities he may have that are keeping him from being there, just as we do.
Let's keep praying for Terri rather than blaming the Bushes and Gibson and others who HAVE done something for Terri.
If it weren't for Jeb Bush, her family wouldn't have had Terri these last two years, and I'm sure they're very thankful for those two years. And if Jeb would have had his way this time, he would've given them the rest of their lives with her. He stayed home from being with his own family for Easter just in case something came up that he could do.
I just feel STRONGLY that we need to focus on who's at fault here, not on those who DID work hard to keep Terri from dying. If our anger isn't targeted at the right places, we WILL lose this fight for life in America.
Please listen to me, dear people. I plead with you.
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home,
When lifes toils are ended
And parting days have come;
Sin no more shall tempt me,
Neer from Thee Ill roam,
If Thoult only lead me, Father,
Lead me gently home.
Refrain
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently
Lest I fall upon the wayside,
Lead me gently home.
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home,
In lifes darkest hours, Father,
When lifes troubles come;
Keep my feet from wandring,
Lest from Thee I roam,
Lest I fall upon the wayside,
Lead me gently home.
Refrain
I'm sure Felos sent an RSVP regretting Terri had previous plans, but thanks anyway.
Thank you all for your prayers for Terri and her family and friends.
I saw the press conference with Randall Terry and the priest(?), reverend(?), anyway, where they said that they are going to Washington in Terri's stead for the hearings that the subpoena informed them of---
The problem that I see is, I watched the end of the House session and the end of the Senate session, and they both said they were adjourned until April 4th! Therefore, I believe this trip will be for nothing...
Thank you for saying that. Jeb is why we had Terri since the last time they tried to pull her tube. He bought her time, time with her family, time for a lot of people to get involved and learn more about the horrible things people are doing.
Every day she's had since then was a gift because Jeb cared enough to push the Florida legislature into trying to pass a law to save her.
Let us thank God for the extra time, and the work that he's been able to do through people like Jeb and Mel and the other people like you and me who care and are crying tonight because of the evilness done, the bad law, the culture of death and the soon to be loss of our friend.
Lord, hold us all close tonight. Amen.
Amen ...
