Freeper friends, Terri's Memorial Service is this coming Tuesday night in Gulfport, Florida. Please check and see if www.baynews9.com will carry it on the internet.
I'm still sad and in disbelief that the rescue fell apart. It was on it's way. We were waiting there for ambulances but instead two Sheriff's cruisers arrived.
There's much work to do. There are many work groups here carrying on for Terri.
The April Daily Thread as before will be a meeting place, a news digest and even in the midst of sorrow, a place to make friends.
I want to thank everyone who did everything humanly possible for Terri and her family. Terri's safe now from a room with the blinds closed, strange people and armed guards. She'd still be here if it wasn't for judicial despots who it appears have never read the Declaration of Independence or the U.S. or Florida Constitution.
Freepers, Republicans and Democrats alike voted against Terri or didn't do enough to save her from Judge Greer.
I'd like to thank Ralph Nader, David Boies, Joe Lieberman and Wesley Smith, Phd, author of Forced Exit.
I have disdain for the Naughty Nine Republicans in the Florida Senate who vote "No" which barred Terri from legislative relief. The GOP House Members who voted "No" on Terri, shame on them too.
WHAT EXACTLY IS THE AGENDA AND WHO IS IN CHARGE? I'm afraid that Judge George Greer is in charge - of everything.
PLEASE HELP FLORIDA... CALL YOUR SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN/WOMEN.
HELP US. We feel stranded by tyranny today, but Florida is ripe for change. We will demand it together as Americans.
Thanks, FV

FV, Bob Enyart is a Freeper. He posted his own thread here on FreeRepublic.

Here's the thread with the WND article:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1399427/posts
I didn't check to see if anyone else put this information on this thread, so I appologize if this is dublicate.
The Schindlers are such WONDERFUL people. Their daughter is gone, but they are still fighting for somebody else's daugher (and son).
This from the article hit me:
"In the name of privacy, of course. Adolf Hitler did not show the German people what was happening in his concentration camps either."
"Update: Mark Fuhrman must have a few chapters on Everett Rice. Oops, Everett for poor sherifing."
Included in that chapter on Rice, there might be a sentence or two explaining why Rice gave Michael Schiavo a job as a nurse in the jail. Even a person in jail shouldn't have to deal with a nurse like Schiavo, imo.
"Good for Bobby Schindler. He is causing GOOD to come from the totally EVIL and HORRIBLE torture and death of his beloved sister!!!!!"
Bobby Schindler would make a great politican. He would be the kind of politican who tells the truth and would work for the people. I doubt we have very many of those kind of people currently.
One of the Schiavo brothers (Brian?) appeared on the Nancy Grace Show and he came across like a thug, lied blatnatly.
Michael Schiavo doesn't strike me as the nruse type. Could one of the perks for him be getting to see someone die or . . ?"
WOW! I've been following Terri's plight for years, and never had any idea she'd been able to participate in that level of therapy! Just out of caution, do we have any confirmation of this aside from this one radio interview? (No, I'm not one of the bash-Dr.H crowd, just would like to corroborate it since it doesn't seem to have come up much before. Or maybe I just missed it in the mountain of info over the years.)
It was so heartbreaking to read the Progress Notes from after she had the brain-stimulation implants, she was making slow-but-noticable progress over just a few months. No, she didn't have some miraculous recovery after the implants, but clearly something was changing for the better, the various personnel's notes paint an interesting picture.
FUE, I assume you did the transcription on that interview, thanks SO much for your hard work! I know how time-consuming it is, you did a terrific job. (And the color-coding's pretty, LOL.)
So many people worked so hard and put their hearts and souls into trying to save Terri... bless you all, FR is such an amazing place.
The Schindlers always come across as class, Schiavos come across as thugs who starved their own parents.

FLORIDA HOUSE MUM ABOUT GREER IMPEACHMENT DEMANDS
http://www.theempirejournal.com/511054_florida_house_mum_about_g.htm
Pam Hennesy's letter to David Simmons asking for impeachment proceedings to begin against George Greer:
On March 8, 2005, Judge Greer entered an order stating that Terri Schiavo could not receive food and water by mouth after her gastronomy feeding tube had been removed. This order cannot be reconciled with Florida Statute 825.102 (Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of Elderly Persons and Disabled Adults), which defines the prohibited conduct:
(b) An intentional act that could reasonably be expected to result in physical or psychological injury to an elderly person or disabled adult; or
(c) Active encouragement of any person to commit an act that results or could reasonably be expected to result in physical or psychological injury to an elderly person or disabled adult.
A caregiver's failure or omission to provide an elderly person or disabled adult with the care, supervision, and services necessary to maintain the elderly person's or disabled adult's physical and mental health, including, but not limited to, food, nutrition, clothing, shelter, supervision, medicine, and medical services that a prudent person would consider essential for the well-being of the elderly person or disabled adult; . . .
Judge Greers order requires the commission of a felony the withholding of oral sustenance and hydration from a disabled adult something for which no judge at any level has jurisdiction to order and in complete disregard for his sworn duty to uphold the laws of the State of Florida, Hennessy says. This feature of his ruling should be distinguished from his tube-removal order, an act over which he did have jurisdiction.
The international scorn already heaped upon and to be heaped upon the United States in general and Florida in particular is directly traceable to this unnecessarily cruel and unlawful order.
On March 23, 2005, Greer entered an Emergency Order Enforcing Mandate in which he ordered that the Department of Children and Families was restrained from carrying out a protective investigation into allegations of abuse, neglect and exploitation of Terri Schiavo, pursuant to their statutorily mandated duties under Florida Statute Section 415.1051 (Adult Protective Services) which states, in part:
(b) Emergency removal from premises.--If it appears that the vulnerable adult lacks the capacity to consent to emergency protective services and that the vulnerable adult, from the personal observations of the representative of the department and specified medical personnel or law enforcement officers, is likely to incur a risk of death or serious physical injury if such person is not immediately removed from the premises, then the representative of the department shall transport or arrange for the transportation of the vulnerable adult to an appropriate medical or protective services facility in order to provide emergency protective services. Law enforcement personnel have a duty to transport when medical transportation is not available or needed and the vulnerable adult presents a threat of injury to self or others. If the vulnerable adult's caregiver or guardian is present, the protective investigator must seek the caregiver's or guardian's consent pursuant to subsection (4) before the vulnerable adult may be removed from the premises, unless the protective investigator suspects that the vulnerable adult's caregiver or guardian has caused the abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
(c) Emergency medical treatment.--If, upon admission to a medical facility, it is the opinion of the medical staff that immediate medical treatment is necessary to prevent serious physical injury or death, and that such treatment does not violate a known health care advance directive prepared by the vulnerable adult, the medical facility may proceed with treatment to the vulnerable adult.
Judge Greers injunction of DCF from performing its statutorily-mandated duties vividly demonstrates his lack of understanding of the separation of powers between the three branches of government. Instead of accommodating DCFs decision to exercise its authority under the above-cited statute, Judge Greer determined that decision to be offensive to him personally and to the judicial function in general.
On March 23, 2005, in the order cited above, Judge Greer also ordered that each and every singular Sheriff of the State of Florida are hereby directed to take such actions or action as is necessary to enforce the provisions hereof.
In this order, Judge Greer overstepped his own authority under Floridas Constitution and usurped the power of the Executive Branch and Floridas Governor who is Floridas Chief Law Enforcement Officer. Article 4, Section 1 of Floridas Constitution states, in part:
(a) The supreme executive power shall be vested in a governor, who shall be commander-in-chief of all military forces of the state not in active service of the United States. The governor shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, commission all officers of the state and counties, and transact all necessary business with the officers of government.
Judge George Greer has disregarded Floridas laws and the other branches of government in his rulings in the Schiavo case. I realize there may be some political distaste in pursuing this matter, but unless this judge is reined in, you will see this conduct occur again and again. The instances cited above are so flagrant as to require the Houses serious consideration of articles of impeachment.
I have numerous other records, orders and petitions from the Schiavo guardianship case and will happily get them to you in any form you require. It is imperative that you set to work on this immediately. Not only are Judge Greers rulings not in keeping with the intent of your laws, they are flagrantly unlawful.
Very well done!
Of course, as predicted, all anyone hears from Tallahasee is *crickets*.
BUMP
Not a "dublicate" but thanks for doing it
since I was away and didn't get it done per
request.
As most of us know, the phoney, pro-culture-of-death A.G. Charlie Crist wants to be Florida's next governor. So if you're from Florida, it's time to start writing letters to editors telling about how Charlie Crist did not help Terri. Short letters to editors usually have a better chance of getting published in larger papers.
Does anyone know anything about Lt. Gov. Toni Jennings? I heard that she might want to run for Gov. in Florida, as well.
I just found this thread re: Lt. Gov. Toni Jennings, but did not have a chance to read it all.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/890454/posts
This letter is so good. Does anyone know of a way to put it on a petition that we could post? We'd love for our names to be on this.
Toni Jennings was appointed by Jeb to be Lt. Gov. after Brogan went back to the education field. She's running for Governor but is in third place right now. In second is Chief Auditor for Florida, Tom Gallagher. Gallagher's and/or Jennings' comments (if she was allowed to have any opinion) were just grandstanding. As Chief Auditor for the State of Florida, Tom Gallagher had the authority to demand the property side of Terri's guardianship and see where HER MONEY ended up. He showed up at one Terri rally for show when he had the power to blow this wide open.
They are all RINOS.
The true Republicans who did the right thing and voted for Terri will be pushed down by the GOP machine in Florida (they need an overhaul).
Over three million great Americans have visited www.terrisfight.org since Terri's passing. The discontent and other feelings re: Terri being murdered do not go away. I hope it is equally that way for the EVIL DOERS. Let this never go away for them...THEY PROVE TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE MONSTERS.
