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.

Re: HR 1151 / US S 539
Please contact your US Congressman and Senator and urge support of US HR 1151 = House Resolution 1151 and US S 539 - US Senate Bill 539 'The Incapacitated Persons Protection Act'
Sample message:
House Rep / Senator XXXXX,
With regards to representative Weldon's proposed bill 1151 (see above for correct designations) titled the Incapacitated Person's Legal Protection Act, I encourage you to give this favorable consideration.
Clearly, state Circuit Courts are not applying the law appropriately in a number of cases throughout the United States as it relates to vulnerable and incapacitated persons and their retained rights. A measure like bill 1151 would give these innocent people a Federal avenue of review that we consider a retained right of criminals. I believe the rights of the disabled amongst us should be no less vigorously defended than the rights of those who have broken the law.
I also believe that without such Federal protection, cases such as these will grow more complicated and burdensome on the state courts and innocent lives will be lost.
Please do the right thing for America's disabled and give your unwavering favorable consideration to this act.
There is an 800 number for the Congressmen and Senators:

The head of the DCF is a campaign contributor to Judge Greer.
When the initial sets of abuse charges were investigated, this person took them from investigators and put them under lock and key.

Surprizingly, they look like brothers! but then they both may have attempted the same action.
Please ping all your lists with these email addys, and phone numbers---also, I would like the address for Disney World, and other tourist info, and the Florida orange commission... for those of us who do not live in Florida, we can all write and declare to these people, that because of the murder committed in this state, we will boycott these tourist attractions and Florida Oranges....I am not kidding. I am planning a Christmas trip, and was going to go to Disney world...no more. Nothing in Florida.
Sorry we WILL punish the people in this state, who elect these judges and do not stop the murder of this woman!!!
I just got home. This is good news! It is a step in the correct direction. Has anything happened Federally yet?
hey there!!!
HOW ARE YOU??
RESTED AT ALL??
Thanks for your kindness!
I REALLY enjoyed you!
You are an inspiration!
Your FAITH is INCREDIBLE!
HI!! Did you get home without FADING? I was worried about you!
eeevil conservative was in Tallahassee all weekend and she looked exhausted Sunday night when we had dinner together...but she drove six hours home that night, and then had to get up and give a speech the next day and take care of her kids.
Terri's got some good Freepers.
What is good news?
HEY, eeevil conservative! I actually got lost walking back to the hotel from the Capitol when I left you!! Wandered around the dark streets of Tallahassee for about twenty minutes before I got my bearings! They don't call me wrong way for nothing!

CARDINAL RIGALI'S STATEMENT REGARDING THE CASE OF TERRI SCHINDLER SCHIAVO
"Americans are watching with concern the plight of Terri Schindler Schiavo in Florida. It is a tragic situation that has grave implications for the future treatment of those who are vulnerable and reliant upon someone else to provide their sustenance and decide the level of medical care they receive. In the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, where Terri Schindler was a parishioner and a graduate of one of our high schools, we watch and pray with particular interest in her case. I urge most strongly that those charged with her care provide life-sustaining nutrition and hydration.
Mrs. Schiavo must continue to receive such ordinary treatments to meet her basic needs until the time they become life threatening or harmful. Removing food and hydration now will amount to a very painful death. It also may hasten the day when anyone deemed not living a life of subjective quality by whose definition? may suffer the same fate. This evil, if permitted, will end the life of one woman and place all of us in peril.
Terri Schiavo and all those who rely on others for their basic needs remain worthy of care because of their dignity as children of God. In the Gospel of Life (papal encyclical written in 1995), Pope John Paul II wrote, God alone has the power over life and death. But he only exercises this power in accordance with a plan of wisdom and love. When man usurps this power, being enslaved by a foolish and selfish way of thinking, he inevitably uses it for injustice and death. Thus the life of the person who is weak is put into the hands of the one who is strong; in society the sense of justice is lost...'
The Catholic bishops of Florida have strongly urged that Mrs. Schiavo should receive "all treatments and care that will be of benefit to her." I call on the faithful in the Archdiocese to join with me in prayer for Mrs. Schiavo, for her family and for all those charged with her life. I pray she receives the nourishment, hydration and loving care she needs until the Lord of Life calls her to His eternal home."

703 passing the House Judiciary.
Is it going to help? How did it go yesterday? Is there an after action report somewhere?
OH MY GOODNESS!!
LOL!!
I feel so bad for you-- I know you were EXHAUSTED!!!
I had so much fun at dinner.
It was very nice of Bobby to talk to us!!!
You asked him some GREAT questions too!!!
With commentary interjected.
And REMIND this wonderful Philly Preist that Bishop Lynch is not unlike the Pharisee's who so upset Christ because they abused a house of worship and were breaking the spirit of the law.
Wish someone would ask him to contact Lynch and DIRECTLY ask lynch why he has NOT BEEN AT TERRI's SIDE, HAS NOT SENT out PRESS RELEASES PROCLAIMING HER RIGHT TO LIVE AND CRYING OUT ABOUT HER ABUSE AND NEGLECT.
The Bishops in FLORIDA needs to overtake Lynch's territory.....apparently someone or something has Lynch cowed...either his own lack of conviction or his own lack of courage.
He is a weak man....full of bloated importance and willing to hide in his quarters while Terri suffers everyday and the Schindler's have to do without his guidance and support.
Their FAITH puts Lynch's faith, TO SHAME.
Bless this Bishop. I wish that he would publically rebuke his fellow Bishop, who told Terri's parents to get along with their daughter's killer!
Please urge the Catholic Church to annul the marrige. It would be a moral step in the right direction, to acknowledge the fact that Mikie has not kept his vows, and Terri should not be spiritually bound to him.
Can't hurt! ;-D It's a step in the right direction. Now we have to pray for it to continue through all the way. Action report, hopefully, from someone who was there today? I left early this morning.
You're not going to believe this but the shuttle guy who drove me from the hotel to the airport HAD NEVER HEARD ABOUT THE CASE! When I told him he was utterly appalled and said he was going to call the Florida legislators when he got home and tell everyone he knew to do the same. How someone can live in that city and not know is beyond me!
HUH? it has to PASS the full vote of the HOUSE (probably Friday at the earliest?) before it is even TAKEN UP by the Senate?
Then doesn't it have to go thru the Senate's roadblocks, ah er, I mean committees first? It doesn't seem like this can occur in time!
And what's this about the senate not even CONVENING until Thursday afternoon?
( http://www.flsenate.gov/Welcome/index.cfm )
what the heck have those lazy overpaid bums been doing until now?
