Gov. Jeb Bush Knew Terri's Law Was a Sham

Judge Greer did not issue a court order to withhold oral sustenance in the court order carried out on October 15, 2003. To do so is so blatantly illegal that even he did not try this—until the time was right. It was Michael Schiavo and his hired guards who were determined to prevent Terri from having any sustenance by mouth. It was they who attempted to murder Terri Schiavo. 

Murder is the "the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought." When one reflects on the abuse, neglect, and exploitation Michael Schiavo has inflicted upon his incapacitated wife for over ten years, malice aforethought fits this scenario perfectly.

Gov. Jeb Bush continued to insist that he did not have the authority to intervene. It was only when the dehydration of Terri Schindler Shiavo commenced that Gov. Bush asked for legal advice. Several attorneys informed him that he already had the power to stop the attempted murder and to immediately begin an investigation into the many abuses Terri has suffered.

If you will read the Legal Solution Page, you will learn that these documents used to be on terrisfight.org. It does not surprise me that the webmistress has seen fit to remove the evidence of Gov. Bush's collusion with the passing of a law that served the purpose of keeping the corruption in this case out of the limelight.

Gov. Bush ignored the attorneys' counsel. He also did not order an investigation into the matter of whether Terri was a victim of domestic violence. Instead, he opted for Terri's Law, which was passed almost one week later.

The media constantly says the Florida legislature empowered Bush to intervene with the passing of Terri's Law. This is obviously not true. Terri's legal rights have been denied for many years by Judge George Greer of the 6th Circuit Court in Pinellas County (Clearwater), and yet Gov. Jeb Bush has never bucked the program.

Please note that Gov. Jeb Bush has no problem taking action to indicate that he is supportive of Scientology's public persona. Gov. Bush publicly endorsed and legitimized this already extremely wealthy organization by approving grants for one of their front organizations, the World Literacy Crusade—a Scientology reading program designed for public schools:

In October 2000, the World Literacy Crusade of Florida was one of the organizations in the Tampa Bay area to be presented with a grant of $10,000 from Verizon’s “Tampa Bay Reads” program by Governor Jeb Bush. The grant was repeated in November 2001 at an event sponsored by the University of South Florida’s College of Education and officiated by the Florida Secretary of Education, Jim Horne.

Gov. Bush's actions also suggest that he is supportive of Scientology's hidden agenda as well. The Pinellas County Court has permitted Michael Schiavo to break many Florida statutes—and even commit felonies—while acting as Terri's guardian. Gov. Jeb Bush has "gone along with the program" by not requiring an investigation into the cause of Terri's collapse and by passing a new law instead of insisting that current laws be obeyed.

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 25:40
