Terri's Freepers,
Judge George Greer denied Terri's parents' Motion for a Stay to protect their daughter's life while there are still pending issues in this LIFE AND DEATH MATTER. In addition the Department of Children and Family Services made a surprise visit to the court hearing the other day and asked Judge Greer if they could approach the bench. Judge Greer denied DCF the opportunity to speak. DCF asked for 60 days to conduct a complete investigation of allegations that have surfaced in the form of a Complaint to their agency.
What was set in motion instead? On Friday, February 25th, Judge Greer REFUSED TO issue another Stay because he was "not comfortable" issuing a say to protect a Ward of the State but instead "set a date certain" (on his calendar at least, not on mine) to BEGIN THE BARBARIC, ANTI-AMERICAN, STARVATION-DEHYDRATION SLOW MURDER OF TERRI.
Attorney Gibbs for Terri's parents held a press conference after J. Greer's order that was so tastefully written to indicate that "he was giving the Schindlers until March 18th so they could "prepare for Last Rites." Attorneys Gibbs called this ruling and prior rulings "Hitler-resque". Indeed.
If Judge Greer wasn't LEGALIZING EUTHANASIA in his courtroom, why any need for Last Rites? Greer's urgency to fulfill this killing places urgency on every one of us to lobby Governor Bush, Florida's House and Florida's Senate.
A Judge in America is ordering the manner of someone's death, a disabled woman who is healthy but needs rehabilitation.
Time is short so we don't really have time to get into Greer's mind to see why he is Florida's Til of the Hun.
What can we do?
1. LOBBY TO SAVE TERRI
2. HELP BUMP THIS THREAD.
3. POST ARTICLES YOU SEE ABOUT TERRI.
4. VISIT PINELLAS COUNTY FLORIDA AND VIGIL WITH US AT HOSPICE WOODSIDE.
5. VISIT TALLAHASSEE AND LOBBY IN THE HALLS OF THE LEGISLATURE.
6. HOLD A DEMONSTRATION AT THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION.
7. Join the Message Board that freepers started at the Crystal Cathedral/Hour of Power. TELL YOUR CHURCH ABOUT TERRI.
8. Tell your friends that Terri is alert and aware of her surroundings and to visit www.terrisfight.org to see her videos.
9. PETITIONS. We will gather current Petitions here for you. At this time, you can sign a SAVE TERRI PETITION AT www.renewamerica.us. THERE ARE ALSO IMPEACH GREER PETITIONS ABOUT.
Finally, the Pope has no Living Will. He will be SAFE as long as he stays away from George Greer's courtroom. The Pope is in our thoughts and prayers and he knows of Terri. He wants Terri to be freed from oppression and from a painless death by starvation-dehyration.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO EVERY DAY, THE PAY ISN'T VERY GOOD BUT THE FRINGE BENEFITS ARE THE GREATEST. You are Great Americans and liberty is Terri's and freedom from oppression. Freepers, that is the big payoff if we continue our daunting task.
Terri's family is grateful to you and all of your prayers are being heard by the Giver of Life.
This is Terri's Fight and the battle is enjoined. JOIN US TO SAVE TERRI FROM FORCES THAT HAVE BUT ONE GOAL THAT IS AGAINST EVERYTHING AMERICAN.

I am headed out tomorrow morning from Los Angeles to Arizona for the weekend for a 50th Wedding celebration. My prayers will be with you all. I am taking a laptop but may not be able to access much in the hotel. Please know I will be coming before the Lord on behalf of Terri and you supporters.Seeya Sunday, if not before.Pray for my traveling safety. I am very weary.
Good night - he's starting to talk about her now.
1400 is not a good signal on the band, but you might get a good wave.
The trolls on that thread don't pay any attention to facts they only harp on the lies... theya ren't worth my energy.. I gotta get to bed. BIG weekend-- I get to go Rally for Terri!
PRAISE GOD!
I don't understand why Rush hasn't. They are GOOD friends and Rush frequently refers to MARK as F.LEE LEVIN. Rush has even aired calls from Mark on his program, but I haven't heard one of those in a long time.
Rush also had Mark on his show to promote "Men in Black"
BTW, do you know the status of FL bill 701?
No, I don't. Except now when I call the Florida legislators, they've heard of it. I read yeasterday it made it through the FIRST committee but may NOT be passed quickly enough to save TERRI. I believe I read FV say our best hope is the Federal legislature, if I understood her correctly. We shall see!
Well, I'm in no shape to go to Florida this weekend, much as I'd like too. Y'all - dont ever wrench your knee around violently. Ain't worth it! :) I'll spend the time praying and preparing for what might be next.
Goodnight bump - and a prayer: May God send a band of Warrior Angels to protect and defend Terri, her family, and her friends and supporters, and our nation. May you speak in the hearts of the people of this nation, so that the nation may repent and once again follow your ways. Amen.
Thanx. I think I read that it has to go through three committees.
Hopefully, the FEDERAL Terris law will be faster.
George on Coast to Coast started his program tonight with a few minutes, talking about Terri. He said they had been covering the case for a long time. Well, I keep sending them emails to actually do a show on it, but I never get a response.
Guess I'll keep sending them. Maybe one of these times, they will answer. Perserverance, is that what it is? lol :) :)
Day Six of the Current Hearing to Save Terri Schiavo's Life
Today was the last day of testimony. The expert was Dr. Cranford, a physician hired by Terri's husband in his fight to have her feeding tube removed. The physician is renowned for his involvement in right-to-kill-the-disabled cases like Terri's.
And today he made me involuntarily gasp.
I had made a pact with myself to show as little emotion as possible during the hearing to stay in the judge's good graces and to keep from affecting the proceedings. I did stray from that resolve briefly on the first day when I saw the videotape of Terri's Mom greeting her. I cried silently then in spite of myself.
And the sad arrogance of the doctors who want Terri to die have almost made me and all the other disabled group representatives present (like TASH) quietly laugh.
But today I gasped out loud in spite of myself.
It didn't happen when Dr. Cranford called the family's doctors all frauds. It didn't happen when he proudly admitted calling himself "Dr. Humane Death." I didn't even cry out when he agreed to having said, "I use killing in a morally neutral sense."
It was close when he verbally threatened the family attorney with retorts like, "You can't talk about something I'm not talking about!" But, she could handle herself. It got a little closer when Dr. Cranford said he believed it was okay to lie to patients about their true conditions.
I did have to hold the picture of my son born after my own coma and think only of that sweet young man when Cranford said he stands by his belief that the unconscious are not people with constitutional rights.
My sense of outrage almost bubbled to the surface in spite of myself when Cranford reaffirmed his belief that there is no moral or legal distinction between food, water and medicine when children with brain-damage are involved.
But, the disbelief that could not be denied started at my toes when he declined to see current records and films on Terri because he already knew the results...those results being that she should die. Even the husband's attorney had to insist that he see all the available videotape of Terri. The doctor was content to testify about the tapes without doing so.
When Cranford admitted to not keeping up with rehabilitation journals while he continued to make life changing rehabilitation decisions for people like Terri, I began to regret that I had eaten lunch.
I could hardly believe it when he admitted that the videotape of his exam was so bad that it did not prove what he claimed it did. That part of his testimony included noting that he did not have standard neurological implements to test Terri because of 9/11 security concerns while traveling.
He couldn't borrow, buy or ship to himself what he needed? But after watching him test her with what looked like his rental car keys, he announced that the lack of standard tools and a videotape that did not back up his conclusions did not change that conclusion in any way...Terri ought to die.
This is how bad the video showed his exam was of Terri: First he declared that Terri is deaf. Then he spent the rest of the exam giving her a series of very fast verbal commands. When she did not respond, he did not attribute that to the deafness he just mentioned.
I have had more neurological exams than I can remember over the years because of my own disability. However, I have never seen or experienced one as physically brutal as the one Terri received at Dr. Cranford's hands.
He clumsily poked, prodded, thumped, pushed, pulled, shouted, moved her, shoved her and pinched her very, very hard. THEN he testified that she mysteriously seem to pull away when he approached her for more. Duh!
At one point he thunked her hard between the eyebrows and she moaned. Cranford then told the court that was not a pain response!
At the end of this Inquisition-style exam, he told Terri that it was finished. She visibly relaxed and sighed. The doctor said that was in no way connected to what he had just done!
But here is where I finally did the gasping mentioned earlier: The family attorney showed Cranford a large picture of Terri and her mother joyously greeting each other as only two loving family members can do. The doctor said there was no way Terri could be recognizing the woman in that picture who had given birth to her.
He declared Terri's response to Mom as only an "involuntary subcortical response." Oh, but then he got much worse. The doctor said, in referring to the picture, "That's just cheap sensationalism and I've seen it done over and over...."
And that is where I could hold back no longer. That is where the family attorney said, "I am DONE with this witness." So was every disabled group present at that point.
Beware...he went and left us with this earlier comment to the family lawyer still ringing in our ears, "...But I'm not finished yet...."
We better not be either in the face of Dr. Cranford's continuing threat to people with disabilities.
Rus Cooper-Dowda
Ooooohhhhh my gosh, DJ!!
I can't believe what I just read. Dr Cranford wears his name of Dr Death well. I think I'll be sick too.
This was one of the people who condemned Terri to death. What has happened to our country? How can this man run around the country and be part of deciding if people Live or Die.
May God Have Mercy on a Land that Allows Such a Hedious Person to Judge the Worth of a Precious Person like Terri.
Great photo of the demonic dual.
Just wondering why Kevordian is in jail for doing what Greer is mandating in Florida?
Sarcasm On~!
Is there more than on Feinstein Senator? The Wisconsin Senator, RUSS Feinstein a man.
I'll check but I don't think he is on the judiciary Committe.
Hi ExPatInFrance~~
Is it daytime for you? I'm still up again.
Can't sleep thinking about our precious Terri. Gonna pray some more. You're the best, doing so much for Terri.
Please spread the word to people in Florida. They need to call their Representatives in Florida to Impeach Greer. They can do it.
Gordan Watts has all the information. He almost won a case for Terri with the Florida Supreme Court. It was close 4-3
