Freeper friends, Terri's Memorial Service is this coming Tuesday night in Gulfport, Florida. Please check and see if www.baynews9.com will carry it on the internet.
I'm still sad and in disbelief that the rescue fell apart. It was on it's way. We were waiting there for ambulances but instead two Sheriff's cruisers arrived.
There's much work to do. There are many work groups here carrying on for Terri.
The April Daily Thread as before will be a meeting place, a news digest and even in the midst of sorrow, a place to make friends.
I want to thank everyone who did everything humanly possible for Terri and her family. Terri's safe now from a room with the blinds closed, strange people and armed guards. She'd still be here if it wasn't for judicial despots who it appears have never read the Declaration of Independence or the U.S. or Florida Constitution.
Freepers, Republicans and Democrats alike voted against Terri or didn't do enough to save her from Judge Greer.
I'd like to thank Ralph Nader, David Boies, Joe Lieberman and Wesley Smith, Phd, author of Forced Exit.
I have disdain for the Naughty Nine Republicans in the Florida Senate who vote "No" which barred Terri from legislative relief. The GOP House Members who voted "No" on Terri, shame on them too.
WHAT EXACTLY IS THE AGENDA AND WHO IS IN CHARGE? I'm afraid that Judge George Greer is in charge - of everything.
PLEASE HELP FLORIDA... CALL YOUR SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN/WOMEN.
HELP US. We feel stranded by tyranny today, but Florida is ripe for change. We will demand it together as Americans.
Thanks, FV
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, listens to a question about the death of Terri Schiavo Thursday, March 31, 2005 in Houston. Schiavo, the severely brain-damaged woman who spent 15 years connected to a feeding tube in an epic legal and medical battle that went all the way to the White House and Congress, died Thursday, 13 days after the tube was removed. DeLay condemned the judges who at both the state and federal level declined to order that Schiavo be kept alive artificially.(AP Photo/David J. Phillip)
Over four years for the two of them. I'm not an accountant but that would be $125,000 per year (on average) for two....or $67,500 each per year.
That's not much pay for full time people, is it?
It sure isn't by you know how the libs and MSM like to spin stuff!
I saw a post that said that it was over a 20 year period and it came to 13,500 per year. If Tom did something illegal he would of been gone a long time ago. Propaganda and pressure is all they have.
Maybe those weaker Republicans need to be more afraid of losing conservative votes than being afraid of the liberal news media, or the liberal Dems.
Bump to 1056.
The radical left REALLY put the heat on DeLay when he tried to save Terri. We Terri supporters CANNOT let him down.
And, yes, Phil, we can judge DeLay by just looking at his enemies.
I think that the 9 that caused Terri to be dehydrated and starved will be voted out of office, especially if Floridians call talk shows, and/or "write letters to editors" to remind voters what they did - just before their elections.
P.S. Do you still live in Canada? My sister married a Canadian.
We also should keep reminding Jeb Bush that we are not about to forget Terri and his refusal to help her.
Everybody loves a bargain, like two for the price of one.
Please call your Republican Congresspersons AND U.S. senators and tell them to support Tom DeLay.
Get you Congressperson's office number here: http://www.house.gov/ and tell them to support Tom DeLay.
====>> Here's the "two-for" part:
While you are talking with your senator's office, to tell them to support Tom DeLay, please also tell them you want them to vote to end a filibuster by a simple majority as the Constitution requires.
If you don't know your U.S. senators phone number, you can find it here:
http://www.senate.gov/general/conta...enators_cfm.cfm
Whether your U.S. senators are Republican or Democrat, please call them to vote to end the filibusters.
Lovely Cathedral, I will always miss Terri. Thanks for the jpegs.
You mean the President is backtracking from his statements earlier this week about judicial integrity? That's encouraging.
bttt for phildragoo!
I totally agree. It's important to keep those calls going.
I hate to say it but I do think we have to selectively target a few of our own.
I know how you feel FV. It really tears me up to watch her videos now. Especially this one.
Yes, it is encouraging.
says unauthorized to view picture.
Look at 1054.
WRITES A PIECE IN USA TODAY. (I'm thinkin' today's date)
Judges step out of bounds By Rick Scarborough
Last week, the Judeo-Christian Council for Constitutional Restoration held a conference, "Confronting the Judicial War on Faith," which proposed bold but overdue reforms. Some have accused us of being sore losers and attacking judges because we're unhappy with the outcome of specific cases, such as the starving death of Terri Schiavo. This is both inaccurate and unfair.
We are defending the Constitution and liberty. By regularly exceeding their constitutional authority in effect, legislating from the bench liberal judges are destroying representative government.
An amendment to the Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of Congress and ratification by three-quarters of the states. But the Supreme Court has taken to routinely "amending" the Constitution to suit the whims of a shifting majority of justices, often with dire consequences.
The Constitution vests legislative authority in Congress. Yet, under the guise of interpreting the Constitution, judges have:
Created out of thin air an unlimited right to abortion, including the barbaric practice of partial-birth abortion.
Outlawed religious expression in public schools and required removal of the Ten Commandments from public places.
Tried to take "one nation under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance.
Struck down Texas' sodomy law, causing Justice Antonin Scalia to note that the court "has taken sides in the culture war."
Attempted to redefine marriage over the protests of the American people.
And now, Supreme Court justices are undermining our sovereignty by turning to foreign law for precedents in deciding whether minors can be subject to the death penalty.
In the face of this unprecedented assault on morality, democracy and constitutional separation of powers, we are proposing certain remedies including impeachment and the withdrawal of jurisdiction to hear certain cases. All are constitutional.
In an 1820 letter, Thomas Jefferson wrote that judges "seem to see (themselves) as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under an oligarchy." Was Jefferson attacking an independent judiciary, as some now accuse Rep. Tom DeLay and Sen. John Cornyn of doing?
An independent judiciary does not mean an unaccountable judiciary.
Rick Scarborough is acting chairman of the Judeo-Christian Council for Constitutional Restoration.
PLEASE NOTE: floriduh voter (me) doesn't have a Terri Ping List. "ohioanfromflorida" does or meekonegop has a Florida Ping List. Please contact one of them if you want on or off.
Thanks, FV
