Thanks for that excellent post (pictures are so valuable) and your transcript -- especially as you underscore the extreme effort Terri makes in responding to the directive:

"Terri: (then, either to show off(?) or wanting to perform well, she leans further forward toward the doctor, looks straight at him and opens her eyes a WIDE AS SHE CAN. Note the WRINKLES ACROSS HER FOREHEAD caused by her also RAISING HER EYEBROWS as high as possible )
Doctor: [now obviously impressed] GOOD!! GOOD JOB! GOOD JOB YOUNG LADY! Good Job. "

GREAT -- I know that has been posted at Terrisfight, but you are giving it new life and importance. May many more people see those pictures, here, on other websites, in court (dare we hope?), on FoxNews/CNN, on the streets of St. Petersburg.

God bless you, and Terri, and all working for good in her situation. Continued prayers for Terri and us all.

Another wonderful feature now is that "See Replies". Good to see replies and to sort through info, sure, but ALSO to duplicate the original post, which prints out nicely at the top of its own page. Ta-daa, there's Terri & the transcript right there, no more having to guess which page a given post might be on, heehee!

:o) -- Yep, I'm impressed, and so grateful for these tools. Thank you. Happy holidays to you & yours -- take care!

Online McCabe petition, etc.

On December 17, 2003, two hearings were held in the Sixth Circuit Court in Clearwater, Florida.

Case Update:

Regarding the guardianship of Michael Schiavo, a hearing in front of Judge George Greer was held to ask that a visitor’s list for Terri be expanded. Additionally, Judge Greer was asked to transfer the case to St. Petersburg, Florida where its true jurisdiction should be. Judge Greer delayed ruling on either matter and a ruling should be made in a day or so.

Regarding Schiavo v Bush, the case to determine the constitutionality of “Terri’s Law” (the law that allowed Florida’s Governor to order the return of Terri’s sustenance), Judge W. Douglas Baird allowed a continuance until Tuesday, December 23, 2003. At that time, Judge Baird may decide to allow a full trial or to issue a summary ruling without a trial. At the moment, Governor Bush and his legal team are not being permitted to call witnesses or present evidence that might support their case.

Action Item:

Florida’s State Attorney for Pinellas County, Bernie McCabe, has refused to investigate allegations of abuse, neglect and exploitation against Terri by her guardian. These are serious crimes under Florida law and they require full investigation.

You can read a comprehensive outline of the related statutes here:

You can also sign an online petition to Mr. McCabe demanding that he investigate here:

If you are a citizen of Florida, please try to let your voice be heard in this matter.

Thank you again for your interest in the well-being of Terri Schindler-Schiavo and for supporting those who work for her safety and human rights.
