The Terri Schindler Schiavo Daily Threads are created month to month as we watch local and national news regarding Terri and her family.
Since Terri's supporters are in every time zone, you may see something FIRST. Please share news with us that you don't see here already. Now, why would you want to do that? Terri's Daily Thread for September/October of 2004 was viewed over 15,000 times. Terri's November Daily Thread was viewed over 6,000 times. December's thread is over 3,000 views.
More and more good folks are finding out about Terri and that judicial tyranny would take her life, but for lots and lots of prayer and non-stop lobbying of relatives, friends, clergy, our leaders, the media, a passerby, a cashier - ANYONE who you feel comfortable chatting with.
Folks always want to know how can this be in America or on earth for that matter? Unfortunately, this is really happening to an innocent woman who just celebrated her 41st birthday. She's not the only one but she's the one with devoted parents and siblings who knows what's in Terri's heart. Terri has a strong will to live. That's apparent. It's been 14 years.
Besides, feeding tubes have been around practically since the Civil War. They are not high tech devices. Terri is "not hooked up to machines". Her feeding tube is the diameter of a piece of spaghetti.
Talkin' about Terri is the best way to lobby for her. It is a salespitch to save her life and subsequently, many lives. If you've never sold anything in your life, START NOW. START WITH TERRI.
See Terri's flash movies if you need more information. You can see for yourself that's she's interactive and follows the doctor's instructions.

NOTE: Terri's December Dailies are noted as a source above. There are lots of important links at the very top of that thread. If you missed Terri's Celebration of Life, you can click on it from there.
Thanks for the ping!
Who really cares what a bioethicist says? What about our Constitution? That is what the Judges are supposed to base their rulings on, not someones envisions of being God. I am so angry that they keep wishing Terri dead. Vultures, all of them. In my dreams the same thing they are thrusting on Terri and her family will happen to all of them.
The attorneys for Terri's family filed a motion yesterday (Jan 14) for a new stay to prevent Michael Schiavo from removing Terri's feeding tube.
http://www.terrisfight.org/documents/StayMotion11405.pdf
George Felos announced to the media that he will have Terri's feeding tube removed immediately upon receipt of the 2nd DCA's mandate WITHOUT a new order from Judge Greer.
A court hearing has been scheduled for Jan 28 at 2:00 pm in front of Judge George Greer.
Please copy and paste this letter into your Word program, print and mail it pronto! Email it to your friends and ask them to keep mailing it on.
House Speaker Allan G. Bense
420 The Capitol
402 South Monroe Street
Tallahassee, FL 32399-1300
Dear House Speaker Bense:
I would appreciate your response to a serious matter. It has come to light that 6th Circuit Judge George W. Greer and Judge Douglas Baird did not legally qualify for the election as prescribed by Florida law. According to documents obtained by The Empire Journal neither judge filed their oath as prescribed by law.
The following information in italics is excerpted from http://theempirejournal.com/documents_of_schiavo_judges_give.htm
Greer was presumably elected in 1998 and sought reelection this year. Baird was elected to a six year term in 2000.
In addition to paying the requisite fees, judicial candidates must file a candidate’s oath, a loyalty oath, the completed form for the appointment of campaign treasurer and designation of campaign depository, and a financial disclosure statement.
Statutes also require that each judicial candidate, including an incumbent judge, file a statement within 10 days after filing the appointment of campaign treasurer and campaign depository, stating that he or she has read and understands the requirements of the Florida Code of Judicial Conduct. Neither Greer nor Baird has ever filed such a statement, according to the Office of General Counsel for the Department of State.
A review of the oaths signed by Greer in 1998 and 2004 as well as Baird in 2000 reveal that the documents are allegedly not in the proper form and were not filed within the requisite time period meaning that neither Greer nor Baird qualified for office. However, both have signed statements under penalty of perjury that they did qualify for office. (See http://www.theempirejournal.com/judges_in_schiavo_case_maynot_have_qualified_for_Office.htm )
Over the past several months, The Empire Journal has submitted several Freedom of Information Law requests for documents concerning the alleged qualification of Greer and Baird. However, the Department of State had not provided copies of the appointments of campaign treasurers.
D.H. Penton, assistant general counsel for Florida’s Department of State, has now produced Greer’s filing for 1998---which was filed Oct. 23, 1997, well outside the window period for qualifying. Greer’s 2004 appointment of campaign treasurer was filed on Jan. 8, 2004.
However, both of Greer’s filings are outside the window period for filing, lending further proof that he did not qualify for office and could not appear on the ballot.
Baird’s filing was not done until July 5, 2000, also well outside the qualifying period.
Even judges have to comply with the law.
The Empire Journal had asked the Office of General Counsel to take action against Greer and Baird based on the alleged improper documents and failure to qualify for election but in a response to the newspaper on Dec. 10, Penton said that “as to your questions regarding Judges Greer and Baird’s qualifications, the Department is unaware of any deficiencies in their filings” The attorney said that if the newspaper had “concerns about the judges, it would be to your advantage to consult an attorney for guidance on how to proceed”.
Judge Greer has violated FS 38.10 four times by not disqualifying himself from the Schiavo case when it was requested. The statute states whenever a party to any action or proceeding makes and files an affidavit stating fear that he or she will not receive a fair trial in the court where the suit is pending on account of the prejudice of the judge of that court against the applicant or in favor of the adverse party, the judge shall proceed no further, but another judge shall be designated in the manner prescribed by the laws of this state for the substitution of judges for the trial of causes in which the presiding judge is disqualified.
Confidence in the judicial system is quickly eroding in Florida as a result of the actions of Greer, Baird, and the Florida Supreme Court. The legislature’s function is to pass laws. The courts are to interpret the laws and judges are overstepping their boundaries. If the law to keep Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube intact is unconstitutional, then why isn’t the law that included a feeding tube in the “life-prolonging” procedures unconstitutional as well.
The courts are unchecked. As you can see in the above excerpt from The Empire Journal the attorney with the Dept of State who provided the requested documentation suggested getting an attorney to pursue the matter further. This is outrageous! The Dept of State can see in black and white that paperwork is not in order and will do nothing about it. This can’t be. The Judicial Qualifications Commission is akin to a fox guarding the henhouse and the public doesn’t have confidence in them to do anything about this situation.
The citizens of Florida are counting on you, the legislators, to do what must be done. I’m requesting that Judge Greer and Judge Baird be impeached without delay. Judge Greer didn’t legally qualify for office and should never have sat on the bench one minute. Greer has violated Florida Statutes by not removing himself from the Schiavo case when requested, has not required the guardian to abide by requirements in the statutes. Judge Baird stated publicly that Terri’s law was unconstitutional before hearing the case, his mind was made up already. Bias must not be allowed, neither can disregard for the requirements for the very important position of a judge. If the judges are not paying attention to the detail of their own filing requirements and expectations under the statutes how can they be expected to follow the more serious issues of law? I think we are at a crucial point in Florida as far as the judicial system is concerned. It is up to you to do something about it.
With respect,
I don't think we'll ever see Felos actually shut up. He'll be milking this forever.
315 Court St. Clearwater can be MAPQUESTED. If anyone wants to attend the public hearing, the room is divided up like at a wedding. Terri's side sits on one side (that includes you, I hope). Hubby never shows up and suffice it to say his side of the gallery is sparse. Terri's side is full.
You're right! Felos is a big blabber mouth.
"Not that it calms any one down, but Pinellas-Pasco Counties aren't the only place for judicial tyrants. A friends of mine who has diabetes and a degenerative neurological disorder was arrested last February 1) because he is an activist and challenges the government on the oath of office issue and 2) because he believes in the ADA 3) he has service animals and believes he has a right to be accompanied in public places by them. He began trial last Monday. On Thursday, he was taken to the hospital after he lost consciousness and he was in ICU for 6 days. He was sent home Tuesday because doctors said they couldn't do anymore--he is on high levels of pain medication and his blood sugar level cannot be stabalized. His doctor wrote a letter to the judge---Warren County Court Judge John S. Hall telling him that my friend was incompetent to stand trial. Hall didn't care---he ordered that my friend attend court today---when he was late because he doesn't drive and we had a ice storm here today, three patrol cars were sent to his house. They were called off when they were advised my friend "showed up" in court. My friend made it halfway through the trial today, he was removed from the courtroom by ambulance with a blood sugar level of 936 and is near coma. George Greer doesn't have a monoply on tyranny---John Hall is trying to kill this man and very may well have done it today."
Maybe you could get the local media to cover the case.
It's outrageous that the judge would make someone in his condition come to court for what must have been a minor offense.
"euthanazi's" and the medical-judicial complex.
In the brave new world of the "medical-judicial complex", the courts will order the manner of our death and then instead of treating us, medical community will follow the judges' order to exterminate us.
THIS IS AGAINST THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. IT IS NAZI GERMANY ALL OVER AGAIN. AND BIG MONEY IS BEHIND IT. BIG, BIG MONEY...all swindled and stolen.
Greer is stalling right now imo. Walk a mile in his crusty shoes.
Only the local abc affiliate covers Terri and her parents as if they are human beings.
That's why we are here at Free Republic to begin with because the local media is against Terri's right to life.
I'm still ticked the Pinellas GOP hung up on me for saying I supported Gov. Bush, the House and Senate re: Terri Law. What did the Pinellas GOP tell me? "Judge Greer is a fair man. I am going to hang up on you." They've all had SIPPED THE GREER KOOLAID. They are believers whether they realize it or not in ASSISTED SUICIDE, i.e. SUICIDE. Anything for Greer. Anything.
No sympathy for Terri. Ya think a Republican Party would have sympathy for a disabled woman of 41? NAW. THEY ARE ALL PROTECTING/DEFENDING THE INDEFENSIBLE JUDGE GREER.
The Pinellas GOP HQs number: 727-539-6009. Why are they hanging up on their constituents????
A wonderful repeat from 2003. It was actually published in the St. Petersburg Times. The article gives personal insight into Terri's life as a child.
A thousand words about the Terri Schiavo you never knew
"Careless Whisper was her favorite song. She rode horses. She saved birthday cards. She didn't go to prom."
"She slept with her back to the window, so if she was murdered in the night she would not see it coming."
"She was not a great cook. She made a banana cake with green bananas and laughed when everyone told her how horrible it was."
"Her gerbils were always getting loose and winding up in the air conditioning unit in the basement."
"On Saturdays, she went to Mass with her mother."
"She met Michael her second semester at Bucks County Community College. He was a year older, a foot taller and blond. He was the first guy who ever noticed her."

Bump!
Once they wrote something nice about Terri. Thanks for posting it.
FV SAYS: This doesn't surprise me. Look at how Florida Judges think the Pope's got no kind of authority or credence.
Felos since he believes he is god, thinks the Pope's a nobody too. What the Pope said in March of 2004 about "feeding tubes" should be disregarded because "euthanazi's" have no conscience.

Vote for TERRI'S COVERUP FOR 2004. She came in at number 9 last year.
If you know Sarah Foster or other reporters there who have covered Terri, please keep in touch with them.
The following article was published in 2003 by CNSNews.com. It has a detailed description of death by dehydration and starvation - the death that Judge george Greer and Michael Schiavo seek for Terri. Michael Schiavo and George Felos claim that death by dehydration is painless and peaceful. On the contrary, this is the most painful and inhumane death that a human can go through.
In this audio clip, Mr. Beck calls Michael Schiavo "EVIL" because of his determination to starve Terri to death. Steve Schiavo argues with Mr. Beck stating that his brother is not evil and is only called evil because of version brought about by the Schindlers. INDEED APPALLING TO HEAR MR. SCHIAVO RESPOND WITH SUCH AN ANSWER!
You will need Windows Media or a Windows Machine to hear the audio.
Steve Schiavo, Michael's brother.
