TERRI SCHINDLER SCHIAVO FEBRUARY DAILY THREAD 2005: TERRI IS OUR VALENTINE!

*Michael, HAVE A HEART !!!!!For Valentines Day give Terri back to her MOM & DAD, The Schindlers!!!!!!!!*

The Terri Schindler Schiavo Daily Threads are created month to month as we watch local and national news regarding Terri and her family.

Since Terri's supporters are in every time zone, you may see something FIRST. Please share news with us that you don't see here already. Now, why would you want to do that? Terri's Daily Thread for September/October of 2004 was viewed over 15,000 times. Terri's November Daily Thread was viewed over 6,000 times. December's thread is over 3,000 views. January 2005 Daily Thread was a RECORD HIGH!!!!!!! 15, 103 VIEWS!!!!!!

More and more good folks are finding out about Terri and that judicial tyranny would take her life, but for lots and lots of prayer and non-stop lobbying of relatives, friends, clergy, our leaders, the media, a passerby, a cashier - ANYONE who you feel comfortable chatting with.

Folks always want to know how can this be in America or on earth for that matter? Unfortunately, this is really happening to an innocent woman who just celebrated her 41st birthday. She's not the only one but she's the one with devoted parents and siblings who knows what's in Terri's heart. Terri has a strong will to live. That's apparent. It's been 14 years.

Besides, feeding tubes have been around practically since the Civil War. They are not high tech devices. Terri is "not hooked up to machines". Her feeding tube is the diameter of a piece of spaghetti.

Talkin' about Terri is the best way to lobby for her. It is a salespitch to save her life and subsequently, many lives. If you've never sold anything in your life, START NOW. START WITH TERRI.

See Terri's flash movies if you need more information. You can see for yourself that's she's interactive and follows the doctor's instructions.

NOTE: Terri's December Dailies are noted as a source above. There are lots of important links at the very top of that thread. If you missed Terri's Celebration of Life, you can click on it from there.

AGAIN WE HAVE A NEW RECORD: 15,103 views on the tote board for the Terri Schindler Schiavo January Daily Thread!

The most significant event in Terri's case in January, was the Supreme's Courts refusal to hear Governor Jeb Bush's appeal, after the Florida State Legislature struck down Terri's Law. This once again places Terri's life in extreme jeopardy, though there are other issues regarding her case before the court.

PLEASE DEMAND A GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION IN THE SCHIAVO CASE!!!!!!!

ALSO A REAL KEY, NEW TALKING POINT: Terri was NEVER represented by counsel while
others decided to starve her to death. That's against Florida and U.S. law. Even
criminals on death row are entitled to legal counsel. BILL TO THE FLOOR TO
PROTECT TERRI AND FUTURE TERRI's. A NEW Bill 692 please!

"If the courts continue to rule that the governor and the legislative branch
have no input, then perhaps Bush should take Terri Schiavo into protective
custody under Florida Statute 415.1051."

(2) EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE SERVICES INTERVENTION.--If the department has
reasonable cause to believe that a vulnerable adult is suffering from abuse or
neglect that presents a risk of death or serious physical injury to the
vulnerable adult and that the vulnerable adult lacks the capacity to consent to
emergency protective services, the department may take action under this
subsection. If the vulnerable adult has the capacity to consent and refuses
consent to emergency protective services, emergency protective services may not
be provided.

No need to read Jeb's staff the section, but certainly, we can give them the
415.1051 and say it is in re: Emergency Protective Services Intervention.

A Governor has duties and powers. We must firmly but diplomatically ask Jeb Bush
to use them!

PLEASE TAKE TIME TO MAKE SOME CALLS ON BEHALF OF TERRI!!!! THE CALL YOU MAKE MAY
BE THE ONE THAT SAVES HER LIFE!!!!

So, they better not keeping bouncing callers by saying it's a state matter, it's a federal matter. TERRI'S LIFE CRISIS IS OF STATE AND NATIONAL CONCERN. Americans pay taxes and I don't want my property taxes to pay judges' salaries WHO ARE BREAKING OUR LAWS and I don't want STATE MEDICAID FUNDS murdering disabled people!

Tom Lee's office needs to stop being jittery about getting a bill to the floor and JUST DO IT. SENATE PRESIDENT TOM LEE'S TOLL FREE NUMBER: 1-800-560-4403

Juan, if you get back with Tom Lee's office, please advise them that Supreme Court Justice Rehnquist's daughter was the inspector general of HHS at least once while Terri was being starved to death. Her job was to protect TERRI. People called the HHS in D.C. Daughter doesn't investigate major case of health care fraud in Florida and dad rejects Terri's Law. JANET REHNQUIST, daughter of Chief Justice Wm Rehnquist. WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO PROTECT TERRI AND FUTURE TERRI'S? Do we have to expose every single person and start a boycott of the State of Fla before they listens to the people? The people are right in every sense, re: the law and the Judges are trying to kill an innocent woman.

The Fla House can IMPEACH JUDGES. Let's look into that angle as well.

Felos wrote in his book that he often hears voices in his head. He wrote in his book that God told him that he (Felos) is more powerful than he can imagine. Felos claims to be able to read people's minds (such as in the case of Estelle Browning). Attorney Christoper Ferrera (used to be one of the attorneys for Terri's parents) brought all this up about Felos in an excellent motion in October 2003. Judge Richard Lazzara threw the motion out saying it was all hearsay.

FEDERAL JUDGE LAZZARA could have ordered a mental evaluation of George Felos based upon his own words in his book. But he said it was hearsay... Even the federal judge in Tampa is in on the fix.

FR_ddict, if you have the gumption to do it, please call Tom Lee's office back and ask them exactly what Federal Agency has Terri's case? Are they finally investigation the corruption in the judicial system at the federal level? She's going to say you are yelling again but of course you aren't. This is part of her job which LYING IS NOT. US Senator Martinez' office also said this was a federal matter. WHAT IS GOING ON? These leaders have taken our phone calls and know that Terri's Law was SHOT DOWN BY THE U.S. SUPREMES.

I did the research long ago...

House Speaker Allan G. Bense
420 The Capitol
402 South Monroe Street
Tallahassee, FL 32399-1300

Dear House Speaker Bense:
I would appreciate your response to a serious matter. It has come to light that 6th Circuit Judge George W. Greer and Judge Douglas Baird did not legally qualify for the election as prescribed by Florida law. According to documents obtained by The Empire Journal neither judge filed their oath as prescribed by law.

The following information in italics is excerpted from http://theempirejournal.com/documents_of_schiavo_judges_give.htm

Greer was presumably elected in 1998 and sought reelection this year. Baird was elected to a six year term in 2000.
In addition to paying the requisite fees, judicial candidates must file a candidate’s oath, a loyalty oath, the completed form for the appointment of campaign treasurer and designation of campaign depository, and a financial disclosure statement.
Statutes also require that each judicial candidate, including an incumbent judge, file a statement within 10 days after filing the appointment of campaign treasurer and campaign depository, stating that he or she has read and understands the requirements of the Florida Code of Judicial Conduct. Neither Greer nor Baird has ever filed such a statement, according to the Office of General Counsel for the Department of State.
A review of the oaths signed by Greer in 1998 and 2004 as well as Baird in 2000 reveal that the documents are allegedly not in the proper form and were not filed within the requisite time period meaning that neither Greer nor Baird qualified for office. However, both have signed statements under penalty of perjury that they did qualify for office. (See http://www.theempirejournal.com/judges_in_schiavo_case_maynot_have_qualified_for_Office.htm )
Over the past several months, The Empire Journal has submitted several Freedom of Information Law requests for documents concerning the alleged qualification of Greer and Baird. However, the Department of State had not provided copies of the appointments of campaign treasurers.
D.H. Penton, assistant general counsel for Florida’s Department of State, has now produced Greer’s filing for 1998---which was filed Oct. 23, 1997, well outside the window period for qualifying. Greer’s 2004 appointment of campaign treasurer was filed on Jan. 8, 2004.
However, both of Greer’s filings are outside the window period for filing, lending further proof that he did not qualify for office and could not appear on the ballot.
Baird’s filing was not done until July 5, 2000, also well outside the qualifying period.
Even judges have to comply with the law.
The Empire Journal had asked the Office of General Counsel to take action against Greer and Baird based on the alleged improper documents and failure to qualify for election but in a response to the newspaper on Dec. 10, Penton said that “as to your questions regarding Judges Greer and Baird’s qualifications, the Department is unaware of any deficiencies in their filings” The attorney said that if the newspaper had “concerns about the judges, it would be to your advantage to consult an attorney for guidance on how to proceed”.

Judge Greer has violated FS 38.10 four times by not disqualifying himself from the Schiavo case when it was requested. The statute states whenever a party to any action or proceeding makes and files an affidavit stating fear that he or she will not receive a fair trial in the court where the suit is pending on account of the prejudice of the judge of that court against the applicant or in favor of the adverse party, the judge shall proceed no further, but another judge shall be designated in the manner prescribed by the laws of this state for the substitution of judges for the trial of causes in which the presiding judge is disqualified.

Confidence in the judicial system is quickly eroding in Florida as a result of the actions of Greer, Baird, and the Florida Supreme Court. The legislature’s function is to pass laws. The courts are to interpret the laws and judges are overstepping their boundaries. If the law to keep Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube intact is unconstitutional, then why isn’t the law that included a feeding tube in the “life-prolonging” procedures unconstitutional as well.

The courts are unchecked. As you can see in the above excerpt from The Empire Journal the attorney with the Dept of State who provided the requested documentation suggested getting an attorney to pursue the matter further. This is outrageous! The Dept of State can see in black and white that paperwork is not in order and will do nothing about it. This can’t be. The Judicial Qualifications Commission is akin to a fox guarding the henhouse and the public doesn’t have confidence in them to do anything about this situation.

The citizens of Florida are counting on you, the legislators, to do what must be done. I’m requesting that Judge Greer and Judge Baird be impeached without delay. Judge Greer didn’t legally qualify for office and should never have sat on the bench one minute. Greer has violated Florida Statutes by not removing himself from the Schiavo case when requested, has not required the guardian to abide by requirements in the statutes. Judge Baird stated publicly that Terri’s law was unconstitutional before hearing the case, his mind was made up already. Bias must not be allowed, neither can disregard for the requirements for the very important position of a judge. If the judges are not paying attention to the detail of their own filing requirements and expectations under the statutes how can they be expected to follow the more serious issues of law? I think we are at a crucial point in Florida as far as the judicial system is concerned. It is up to you to do something about it.
