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.

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.

MICHAEL SCHIAVO REFUSES $1 MILLION OFFER
$1-million offered to end husband's role
An attorney for Michael Schiavo says he will not take a businessman's money to surrender guardianship to his wife's parents.
By WILLIAM R. LEVESQUE, Times Staff Writer
Published March 11, 2005
A wealthy California businessman offered Terri Schiavo's husband $1-million Thursday if he walks away as his wife's guardian and lets the woman's parents take over.
Saying he wants to keep Schiavo alive, Robert Herring Sr. deposited the cash into his attorney's bank and awaits word from Schiavo's husband.
"It seemed like everybody was wasting a lot of money and wasting a lot of time" in the courts, Herring said in an interview. "So I came up with the idea to shortcut everything and make an offer."
An attorney for Michael Schiavo said the offer won't be accepted. Attorney George Felos said Schiavo turned down a similar $10-million offer about two weeks ago made via an attorney for an anonymous Floridian.
Previously, Schiavo also received an offer of $700,000, and that was turned down, Felos said. The lawyer said Schiavo once promised to his wife before her collapse 15 years ago not to let her live by artificial means.
"There is no amount of money anyone can offer him to induce him to betray his promise to Terri," Felos said. "He's simply not going to betray her for money."
Even if he changed his mind, Michael Schiavo would be powerless to stop the removal of his wife's feeding tube on March 18, Felos said. A court has ruled Terri Schiavo would not want to live by artificial means, and her husband can't reverse the court order, Felos said.
Herring's offer was contingent on the court approving Terri Schiavo' parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, as the new guardian for their daughter.
Herring, 63, is described by California media as one of the wealthiest individuals in the San Diego area. A technology mogul who made riches manufacturing circuit boards, Herring also is the founder of Wealth TV, which shows how the wealthy acquire and enjoy their riches.
Herring said in a written statement announcing the offer that he believed new medical advances, including stem cell research, might help Schiavo.
In 1998, Michael Schiavo offered to donate to charity the $700,000 then remaining in a trust account set up for his wife's care if her parents agreed to let her feeding tube be removed. They refused.
The money had been won in a medical malpractice case. Schiavo stood to inherit it upon his wife's death. Today, only about $50,000 remains.
"He has said from the beginning that this case isn't about money," Felos said.

ExPat...that is Senator Russ FEINGOLD of Wisconsin. Unlike Senator Diane FEINSTEIN of California.
Thanks for that info!
Maybe the calls to his organization asking him to speak out for Terri worked.

"FLORIDUH VOTER WROTE:
I just learned that at yesterday's DCF hearing before Greer, ATTY GIBBS AND THE AUDIENCE HAD TO LEAVE the courtroom while DCF talked but FELOS wasn't asked to leave the room. **"""
Thanks for reposting this. I missed it the first time Floriduh Voter posted the info. I wonder if any laws were broken here.
"If the agency was gonna baçk down, why, there was no reason for them to get involved in the first place. Theodore, listen to this...their JOB BY STATUTE is to remove people from abusive situations if necessary. Now if they let a judge tell them no, I'm gonna kill this person whose case you're investigating, then ALL ANY ABUSER WOULD NEED TO DO IN THE FUTURE IS FIND A JUDGE WHO WOULD TAKE THEIR SIDE IN A LEGAL DISPUTE INVOLVING AN ABUSE SITUATION, AND THOSE ABUSERS COULD IGNORE THE DCF AND THE DCF COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT IF THEY LET GREER STOP THEM NOW."
Makes sense. I like your analysis.
"A doctor from Westchester County called Levin's show and said that he's seen them turning off life support for fully conscious patients.
He said they have done this for very sick patients to save $$."
Thanks for posting. Amazing. Evidently, Terri is just the tip of the iceberg.
Thank you. It makes perfect sense. Not bragging. It would make perfect sense no matter who said it. That said, I can only hope the DCF understands the sense of it, too, and will act accordingly. Until they do, I feel like I'm holding my breath. If they don't, my reasoning says they have just destroyed their long-term legal reason for existence. Instead, every abuse case will be under the purview of a judge, not the DCF. I'm talking long-term...it would take awhile for it to play out, but that is the ultimate destination if Greer can kill Terri while telling the DCF they have no part in this.
It is amazing. And YES, Terri is just the tip of the Iceberg. This case will set a precedent to kill even more people with Disabilities.
It's openning the Flood Gate to EUTHANASIA.
May God Have Mercy on this Country. History is being repeated in the STATE OF FLORIDA.
HITLER would be proud.
"That is why state troopers must accompany DCF. Even then, I wouldn't be surprised if there is not some kind of shootout"
It's not a bad idea to have the state troopers as a show of force that the State of Florida is behind their agency, but I don't think a shootout makes sense.
Who would be shooting who? The Schindlers are very law abiding and the doctors are not going to risk going against a state agency and kill Terri until this thing is settled.
I'm more afraid the agency will not step in to save Terri.
I'e had a letter on my FR page for probably 2 months now that people can just copy and paste to request impeachment.
http://www.freerepublic.com/~tutstar/
The problem is getting people to do it. I do think calls and letters simply saying "Impeach Greer" should be sufficient. Anyone in the world who told DCF to get lost if their kids were thought to be abused would be thought insane, but not Greer.
When I put up the petition to impeach, I think many of us thought it would get a lot of sigs quickly but it didn't. A lot of freepers are responsible for that. None the less it will be made known to Bense today.

SCHIAVO ATTORNEY FELOS NO STRANGER
TO MEDICARE FRAUD
I meant it would be the MRS "guards" who might fire shots, striking who knows whom.
Without state troopers, I see no way for the DCF to intervene successfully.
And I like you I fear this agency won't do a thing when push comes to shove. Government tends to back down when challenged by great evil, but government pursues the righteous with a vengeance.
"Gov. Jeb Bush said that it was DCF's job to investigate allegations that are called into their abuse hot line and that he was disappointed in the judge's ruling.
Is that the best Governor Bush can do?????"
Totally agree. Where is his backbone. It makes me wonder if he will back the DCF on taking protective custody of Terri.
"Sensenbrenner has been one of the most "sensible" conservatives in the House. If he won't help, there is little hope for a federal bill to become law. Even if we could muster the support in D.C., the time is slipping away if the DCF does not act now."
So true. He needs to get the bill to the committee now, not Wednesday.
