President of the Florida Senate Jim King is a Republican and Florida Senator Johnny Bird is a Democrat. Let us not let this detract from Terri's rights as it shouldn't be an issue of Republican or Democrat in regards to her rights. People from all isles of the political spectrum and human spectrum have stepped up for Terri but a lot on both sides of the Republicans and Democrats haven't done enough to end this madness by giving Terri her rights back and getting her rehabilitation, etc. It is well and good that she got to not be starved to death but the rehabilitation should have came with the feeding tube, etc. but it so happens that her criminally negligent guardian and so-called husband, with a fiancee of over 7 years (with two kids by him), has continued to blatantly deny Terri the light of day, being taken outside in a wheelchair, being given range of motion therapy, and other therapies, etc. He needs to go to jail and guardianship given over to her parents and siblings who love her. We need more people from all spectrums to step up to the plate for Terri and get our leaders, etc. to end this madness now or be complicit for not stopping it. I know this sounds harsh.

You are from Florida and you can contact him. I think he ought to know that MS would not even allow his poor wife to have a rolled up washrag placed in her hand to stop it from closing in on itself because he said it was "therapy" never mind that it would make her more comfortable...he could care less about her comfort. He should be behind bars for forcing neglect on his wife. Terry continues to live in spite of what her husband wants. If he really loved her and he really believed that she wanted to die... why hasn't he given her the best of care until her death?

I thought Johnny Byrd was a republican? How'd I get that wrong. Anyway, his office is very gracious to receiving phone calls. Phone calls are MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE than emails imo.

Byrd is a Republican.

Your statement in post #4 is NOT harsh!! It is right on. HOWEVER since the current Republican Administration stated that they were "compassionate" Conservatives - a man like this should NOT be welcome in the Party. He should be sent to a Communist country where he belongs.
