Fantastic....would expect nothing less from a Freeper writer extraordinaire.

Calling on some big guns to add their two cents!

Then Terri should at least be given the time a murderer is given.

I'm still praying for Terri. I'm sick and terribly pressed for time so thank you for pinging me to keep me informed. If there is anything I can actually DO I'll know about it thanks to you.

Excellent Article. Thanks for posting it. I have equated Terri's situation to abortion in many of my comments in this forum. She is as innocent as an unborn and must be protected as we need to protect the unborn.

I don't see how anyone can look at those videos on her parent's site without realizing that there's still a soul in there trying to communicate. How anyone can sanction killing her is beyond me. I'll never understand it.

I've heard and repeated for years that you can tell a lot about a person by how he or she treats babies, old folks.

Thanks again.

The 'Greatest Generation' fought a war to defeat a man who had a plan to make the disabled disposable. Can we do any less than fight for the sanctity of all life?

Well done, Lisa!

Thanks for the ping, sweetliberty.

Why was Terri's feeding tube ordered removed without an "end of life directive" by Terri which is mandated by Florida law?

Anybody know if the "end of life directive" must be in writing, under Florida law? If it is, then how can Greer proceed on the basis of hearsay?

"If it is, then how can Greer proceed on the basis of hearsay?"

I read somewhere here today that there has to be a directive in writing under Florida law. I can only presume that Greer makes that giant leap based on the HINO acting as proxy, which I'm not sure there is any legal precedent for. That could be another reason why this case is so important to certain players....they would like to set that precedent, then they could appoint death advocate "guardians" at will to act as proxy in any case where an individual might not be able to speak for himself or herself, or for whatever reason the court may deem an individual incompetent to do so.

That would set a very scary precedent indeed.

I'm glad to see that a lot of us are getting a "clue" to this case, lets keep supporting the family and Terri.

I would like to add that if any of you would like to make a contribution to Terris foundation to help pay for postage, phone calls, photo copies and misc. other things, go to www.terrisfight.org and make a tax deductable donation(I beleive its a non-profit org.) to a worthy cause. This will eventually help us and other handicap people in this country.

The family's attorney Patricia Anderson (God Bless her) is working pro-bono. Thanks to her, and Tom her legal secretary.

This is very true....

Give time To God
1. Give God what's right -- not what's left.

2. Man's way leads to a hopeless end -- God's way leads to
an endless hope.

3. A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.

4. He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.

5. In the sentence of life, the devil may be a comma--but never let
him be the period.

6. Don't put a question mark where God puts a period.

7. Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to the church for a face-
lift.

8. When praying, don't give God instructions - just report
for duty.

9. Don't wait for six strong men to take you to church.

10. We don't change God's message -- His message changes us.

11. The church is prayer-conditioned.

12. When God ordains, He sustains.

13. WARNING: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning.

14. Plan ahead -- It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.

15. Most people want to serve God, but only in an
advisory position.

16. Suffering from truth decay? Brush up on your Bible.

17. Exercise daily -- walk with the Lord.

18. Never give the devil a ride -- he will always want to drive.

19. Nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it.

20. Compassion is difficult to give away because it keeps
coming back.

21. He who angers you controls you.

22. Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop.

23. Give Satan an inch &he'll be a ruler.

24. Be ye fishers of men -- you catch them &He'll clean them.

25. God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

26. Read the Bible -- It will scare the hell out of you.


What we do in life echoes in eternity....



Those who trade liberty for security have neither ...

Beautifully done and full of information for those who do not know what Terri has been put through. The more who read this and other true reports on Terri, the better her chance to go home at last.
