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
Laura was going to Afghanistan for ages it seems like. She talked and talked about it and looked forward to it and planned and planned. Way in advance, it was planned she would go if they could secure her safety. And you say she was sent by President Bush in reaction to the courts behavior against Terri? I trust you are questioning the symbolism you took from her making the trip at that time. I trust you don't believe he literally sent her there in reaction to Terri's horrible plight.
Amen!!!
The people will lead and the leaders will follow.

There is a horrible picture of Laura though taken when she was asked about Terri upon arrival in Afghanistan. A picture is worth a thousand words. I don't know how they can sleep at night. Federal Marshalls could have saved Terri. Terri was murdered by state decree. Pretending to do everything humanly possible to save someone isn't the same as actually saving them.
The wife of the chief executive makes the news with the trip to Afghanistan.
The chief executive packs for Rome.
The most powerful man on earth bows to a county probate judge bent on murdering one of "our most vulnerable citizens".
But God forbid the "vigilantes" (his word) should take a picture of an invader with a gag T-shirt.
The image is that of impotence and misplaced concern, not for the welfare of a citizen, but for that of an invader.
Find good people, support their run for office and send bad dems and fake gop back into private life if they aren't following the Constitution.
I don't know about a horrible picture of Laura when she was asked about Terri.
I did read some words she was quoted as having said. The first ones were that she believed it was a government issue her husband should have gotten involved in(by signing the law) because it was a LIFE issue. Later she was quoted as having said she was sorry the family had no privacy in their struggles, that it must be even harder on them because it was so in the media, to which a poster said, how dare she reduce Terri's plight to an issue all about PRIVACY. I said, she didn't, she first said it was an issue about LIFE. (No matter, she's a Bush. She can do no right. /sarcasm)
Well, I said then, and I say again, I am sickened almost unto death about the deliberate killing of the precious life that was our Terri, but I am also glad Laura went to Afghanistan. And certain she was not sent to Afghanistan because of what was happening to Terri.
I wrote exhaustive posts explaining that the Bushes were raised their whole lives to believe that you obey court orders, even if you think the orders are wrong. That is why they did what they did, and said what they said. They believe it. It is all they have ever known.
Having said that, I agree with Tom Delay, and not the Bushes or Senator Frist, about what is becoming of this nation with the runaway Judiciary. And these runaway judges all seem to be pro-death, not pro-life.
I agree with Delay that something needs to be done, other than simply saluting and saying, yes sir, every time a judge issues a ruling or a restraining order.
I mean, Hitler's Germany did everything by the legal book, too, did they not? At some point, something's got to give.
That is BEYOND reprehensible.
Back from Asia, Bishop Lynch leads bay area Catholics in Mass for Pope
SPRING HILL - The leader of the bay area's Catholic diocese was 8,000 miles away from his flock when Pope John Paul II died. Monday, Bishop Robert Lynch was back in Florida, leading a mass in memory of his personal friend.
More than 1,000 gathered at St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Church in Spring Hill for the memorial mass, which was being held at the same time that thousands of Catholics were lining up in Rome for the public viewing of the pope's body.
A video slideshow of the pope's life played as Lynch prayed with Catholics at their largest church in three counties.
(snip)
Lynch was in Asia as part of a tsunami relief delegation when Pope John Paul II died over the weekend. It took him a few days to get back, but the traveling gave him time to reflect on the passing of the pope, whom he knew well.
The bishop said not only did the pope teach his followers how to live, but, "he's also taught us how to die. Life was still valuable, and there were still contributions that could be made. I don't think anyone tonight is saying he didn't make a contribution right up until the end."
=======================================================
Say, Bishop Lynch -- besides noticing how well fed you are, what do you think our Dear Pope thinks of you now?
Agreed. Living Wills are partly what got us into this mess to begin with.
There isn't a thing about this case that doesn't make me sick. God Bless and prayers for the Schindlers.
BISHOP ROBERT LYNCH, DIOCESE OF ST. PETERSBURG, FL
Thank you, Phil .. that is breathtaking.
Ooohh Halls, I'm so sorry for your chronic pain. The surgery you are having sounds very complicated. I hope it will solve the problem. Chronic pain is horrible. You'll be like a new person when it is gone. Wishing you the very best.
BUMP!
You are precious, thank you so much.
"Ahead of time" prayers. God bless.
But even if it is a "capital case", what are the odds of the state attorney or whoever does these things actually doing about it? (Is that McCabe, who refused all calls to investigate the circumstances over the years?)
Also as a legal question which you may know someone to answer, since criminal cases are by definition offenses against the state, is there such thing as bringing a private criminal case when the state chooses not to prosecute? What recourse is there?
