President of the Florida Senate Jim King wants Terri dead to preserve his legacy. Please do what you can to be heard and maybe the voice of reason will make Mr. King realize his folly. Terri has retained rights to rehabilitation and being brought to full capacity, she has the retained rights not to be neglected. She is being not only denied rehabilitation and being brought to full capacity, she is also being neglected thereby (this for 10 years). Somebody is racking up felonies in the extreme, don't our leaders want to make sure that the madness ends by giving Terri her life back? and punishing those responsible for their extreme misdeeds? Please let your voices be heard in as many ways possible (within reason) that you can think of.

Are these Democrats? .. I am presuming so because I didn't see any mention of their party affiliation in the article .. which is the media's usual style.

So FL House Speaker Johnnie Byrd quoted the President of the FL Senate, Jim King, as saying:

"No, I wrote this legislation several years ago, and I want her[Terri] to die"

WOW! I'd say lame-duck King needs to be replaced NOW. Senator Lee is ALREADY scheduled to take over later this year... WHY WAIT until OCTOBER???????

King just revealed himself as a Hemlock Society Member, or else he on the 'take' from Felos. King HAS to go!

I wish I had my BIG ping list with me!

"Then all of a sudden I'm sitting there facing a bill or bills that can dismantle what I consider to be my legacy".

What a lowlife this person must be to be proud of a legacy of death of the innocent.

"No, I wrote this legislation several years ago, and I want her to die."

If there is a God, may your death precede hers by the same method.

Only Democrats and EX-Republicans would behave in this manner.

Republicans have the majority in both Florida houses so he has to have an "R" after his name.

If he's going to switch to Democrat principles, he should be honest and change his affiliation and make it known to his constituency.

Let the voters here (in FL) see what he's up to and then decide abouting voting voting for/against him.

As you may already know, Terri's situation has prompted a Georgia state lawmaker to sponsor a Bill (House Bill 1132) that would make it illegal to withhold food and water from a disabled person. I contacted representative Chip Rogers, the Bill's sponsor, and asked what the public could do to assist him in his efforts. His response follows:

"The bill has been assigned to the House Judiciary Committee. If you could contact those committee members and ask that this bill be given a fair hearing, I believe it would go a long way towards making it a reality."
