Part 7 - EASTER SUNDAY -NO FOOD OR WATER 10-11TH DAYS- SHE'S FIGHTING TO LIVE [Schiavo]

Continuing thread ^ | 03/27/05 | various

[tutstar]

After much hard work that has gone on for well over a year, it's been a week and 2 days since Terri has been without food and hydration.

Many asking the question how we could have become such a callous society as to deny a helpless human the basic necessity of food and water.

Terri's plight has brought to light many problems in the judicial system and opened our eyes to the fact that some laws need to be changed.

The work will continue to protect helpless individuals from suffering the same injustice as Terri.

[mtbopfuyn]

Somehow, I just don't believe that they will just give up their power that easily.

Jeb and the DCF sure did in a big hurry and without so much as a whimper.

No, I don't think TX orange juice tastes good -- I prefer FL variety. Minute Maid is not nearly as good as Tropicana.

Follow the Constitution Gov. Bush: Grant Clemency to Terri Schiavo

By The Empire Journal

No more excuses, Gov. Bush, no more delay. You have said you would do anything you could legally do to save Terri Schiavo’s life. The time is now.

Not only has a former legal advisor told Gov. Bush that he has authority under both the state and federal Constitutions to take the disabled woman into custody by immediately initiating a criminal investigation in the entire Schiavo matter, but top notch constitutional attorneys from across the country have flooded his office with notifications of the legal options available to him.

By immediately opening a criminal investigation into the entire matter, Terri Schiavo, who is being starved and dehydrated to death by judicial homicide under the auspices of probate court judge George Greer, would become a material witness whose life must be preserved and protected.

The Governor is also constitutionally empowered to grant her clemency.

[Theodore R.]

Is it Minute Maid that is in KY? I thought that it has a Houston address.

[Conservativehomeschoolmama]

AMEN!

Spot on!

LORD come quickly.......

[Halls]

ALERT: As of today -- Easter Sunday -- Terri Schiavo is
STILL fighting for her life -- which itself is proof that
it is NOT her wish to die, as her estranged "husband" keeps
claiming.

But time is definitely running out. Terri has been starving
to death for nine days now. Except for one drop of communion
wine that she was allowed on her thickened tongue today, she
has had NO food or water for nine days. As you can imagine,
as her brother Bobby described her today, she looks like
someone in a Nazi concentration camp. She's suffering -- but
her family reports that she still smiles when she sees her
mother come into the room, and she still tries to speak in
a cracked whisper.

Terri's life is STILL worth saving. And we still have hope
she can be saved -- but again, we need YOUR help to make it
work.

There's TWO FRONTS we're attacking on now -- once again, the
state and federal levels. But this time, we have a REAL
CHANCE to break through the "roadblocks" that the enemies
of life have been putting up in front of us.

Please take just a couple of minutes to make a crucial
difference in saving Terri's life.

TAKE ACTION: Here are the two areas we need you to take
action in NOW:

1) Governor Jeb Bush has made several statements the last few
days, claiming that he doesn't have the constitutional or
statutory authority to take Terri in to protective custody.

But as we've mentioned before, we *personally* told his people
FACE TO FACE that he DOES have that authority: we had a
meeting on March 23 between folks from RightMarch.com (William
Greene and our attorney, Larry Klayman) and Governor Bush's
chief counsel (his top lawyer on staff). Then we had a meeting
on March 24 between our folks (this time, Larry Klayman AND
Ambassador Alan Keyes) and Gov. Bush's Chief of Staff. Both
times, we presented information on why the Governor DOES have
the authority RIGHT NOW under Florida Law and the Florida
constitution to take Terri into protective custody NOW, and
save her life.

But Gov. Bush failed to take action. Why? We believe that his
staff -- the political cronies that he has surrounded himself
with -- have NOT given him the documents we provided. They
just smirked and gave us political platitudes, acting like
they were doing US some big favor by granting us five minutes
of their valuable time. Then they walked off, apparently
tossing Dr. Keyes' well-researched documents into the trash
when they got back to their spacious corner offices.

These people are more interested in protecting their political
careers than saving Terri's life. So it's time for US to turn
up the heat on them, and DEMAND that they deliver the documents
that Gov. Bush NEEDS -- so he can save Terri Schiavo.
Ambassador Keyes and Larry Klayman are STILL willing to meet
with the Governor, or to have a conference call to explain
his authority, and his DUTY.

We need EVERYONE READING THIS MESSAGE to call Governor Bush's
lead counsel and chief of staff RIGHT AWAY, and tell them to
do one simple thing:

"SHOW GOVERNOR BUSH THE DOCUMENTS FROM ALAN KEYES AND
LARRY KLAYMAN -- TELL HIM TO EXERCISE HIS CONSTITUTIONAL
AUTHORITY, AND TAKE TERRI SCHIAVO INTO PROTECTIVE
CUSTODY RIGHT AWAY."

Call, fax or e-mail now:

documentation that explains to Gov. Jeb Bush that he has the
legal authority to save Terri Schiavo... the SAME document
that we delivered to Gov. Bush's staff:

2) On Monday, we'll be sending several representatives up to
Washington, D.C., to confront House Speaker Dennis Hastert and
Congressman Tom DeLay, asking them to explain why they have
not enforced the subpoenas issued by Congress to Terri Schiavo.
Our people will also urge Congress to find Florida Probate
Judge George Greer in contempt for deliberately IGNORING Terri
Schiavo's subpoena.

Call, fax or e-mail Reps. Hastert and DeLay now, urging them
to enforce the Congressional subpoenas and to hold Judge Greer
in contempt -- and to therefore order the re-insertion of Terri
Schiavo's feeding tube... and ask President Bush to order the
Department of Justice to move in to save Terri:

Representative J. Dennis Hastert (R-IL)

As long as Terri has breath in her body, IT'S NOT TOO LATE to
save her from starving to death. Her family hasn't given up
hope... so NEITHER SHOULD WE.

NOTE: It's been very expensive for us to engage in the activism
in Florida this week. We reserved hotel rooms; we rented meeting
halls for rallies and activist/lobbying training sessions; we
rented buses to bring people from Pinellas Park to Tallahassee
and back again; we flew legal experts like Alan Keyes and Larry
Klayman in to meet with Governor Bush's people; we're flying
Larry Klayman up to D.C. to meet with Congress and conduct
multiple press conferences; we've spent funds on tons of media
and press releases... the list goes on and on.

We're asking you to give a donation to help with our activism
efforts to save Terri's life. Battles cost money; resources
cost money; media costs money; we could go on, but you get the
picture. We're asking you to show your support by making as
generous a contribution as you can to this effort. (Gifts are
not tax deductible.)

Thank you for your concern, your prayers, your efforts, and
your support. Together, we can prevail against judicial
tyranny, and rescue Terri Schiavo from a cruel death.

Please keep us in your prayers.

Be sure to send this Alert to everyone you know who wants
to help save Terri's life. Thank you!

Sincerely,

William Greene, President

I liked the part about not being afraid to stand up for God's truth.

We who love God need to stand up and be counted.

I like to say, if they decide to outlaw Christians, I don't want there to be any confusion about not knowing if they should take me away or not.

ME TOO!

MICHAEL SCHIAVO'S VINDICTIVENESS

Michael Schiavo has restricted who may visit his wife and when they can come, and a judge was asked recently to sort out such issues as whether the Schindlers could take photos of her before her death and what would happen to her body.

"I think a lot of the reason Michael is doing this is because of vindictiveness and maybe anger toward my family for whatever reason," said Terri Schiavo's brother, Bobby Schindler. "It doesn't make any sense to me why he's doing this."

The Schindlers had asked Circuit Judge George Greer to allow Terri to be buried in Florida with her body intact, but the judge refused to intervene in Michael Schiavo's plans to have her cremated and interred in their native Pennsylvania.

In a court filing, the Schindlers insisted that Terri would not choose cremation.

"To Mrs. Schiavo and her nuclear family, burial without cremation is a central tenet of the Roman Catholic faith," the motion said. "They are wholly motivated by their religious belief that burial without cremation will comfort Mrs. Schiavo in death."

The family has suggested that an autopsy might confirm their claims that Michael Schiavo abused his wife before her collapse, an accusation he has repeatedly denied. It was not clear whether any autopsy would be performed, and the Pinellas County Medical Examiner's Office did not return calls seeking clarification.

The Schindlers wanted to take photographs and video of their daughter before she died, but Michael Schiavo opposed it and Greer agreed with him. The Schindlers also were unable to persuade Greer to grant their daughter a divorce so she could die with the Schindler surname.

Michael Schiavo agreed to have a priest give last rites to his wife, but when the Schindler family priest, Monsignor Thaddeus Malanowski, went into her room shortly before her feeding tube was removed March 18, he found another priest at her bedside, one who was brought in by the hospice at Michael Schiavo's direction.

[piperpilot]

If it ever comes to that, I will know that we are in the end times.

[mtbopfuyn]

To each his own.

[kenth]

he found another priest at her bedside, one who was brought in by the hospice at Michael Schiavo's direction.

That really bugged me. I never saw a name. Who knows if he was an actual priest or not. Anyone want to make any bets?

[Halls]

I just listed the same thing! We need to spread the word! I have contacted the Presidants line, Delay's office, sent Jeb another e-mail, and contacted the Chief Justice. That is all I could get through to, but i urge everyone to keep on it!

[mtbopfuyn]

Not only has a former legal advisor told Gov. Bush that he has authority

Names, Scoop, names! BTW, how about a story on Terri's glasses? How long has it been that she's not been able to see clearly? People are whining about the balloon video because the balloon is so close to her face, perhaps because she can't focus on far away things without her glasses. Not only did hino take away her ability to move around the hospice/hospital and outside but he took away her ability to see her mother's loving face.

[Jrabbit]

Monsingure Malanowski, the family advisor, gave Terri Holy communion yesterday....

[mtbopfuyn]

When I did a quickie google, both Houston and Kentucky popped up but Kentucky showed an actual address. Perhaps there's main offices in both.

[juzcuz]

Anyone want to make any bets?
---

I'll bet he was one of those Scientology monks a Luciferian servant.

[Jrabbit]

LOL

Infobabe on Fox just said Holy communion was given by a Roman Catholic monk......why do they even bother to pretend they have a clue?

[kenth]

That was good. I was just disturbed by the "priest" brought in by MS.
