Who are the two holdout Senators, do you know?
Are they getting together to try and pass this today? Cause it has to be done today!
CALLER: Yes. Does it bother you that the death is so slow? Maybe Dr. Kevorkian-style would be a faster, more peaceful way?
SCHIAVO: Removing somebody's feeding is very painless. It is a very easy way to die. Probably the second better way to die, being the first being an aneurysm.
And it doesn't bother me at all. I've seen it happen. I had to do it with my own parents.
What I do know is that if the FL legislature allows this to happen, their state can kiss any business of ours goodbye. Forever.
Time is short -- get on the phone now!
I have already contacted all the state senators, hopefully it will do some good!
Nancy (Don't want to keep her from heaven.)Argenziano- good luck
If they vote to save Terri the state of Florida will become known for something other than the state that let John Cooey run around free.
Ok, tried to call them again, got in touch with one office, Alexanders! The rest were all busy, which is good. That means they are being flooded with calls, keep em going!
She's a holdout?
Well, golly, that means Ebeneezer Scrooge was right! Let's rid ourselves of the "excess population."
Apparently, starving to death is a painless, happy experience. We can recommend it to Somalia, Bangladesh, Sudan.....
Good point! How hard is it to change one Senators mind to save this women? Pray, pray hard!
incidentally, what are the options once the supremes diss the Schindlers?
Nice state they've got down there.
She voted against the law that would have helped Terri.

Since its not torture, and a quite lovely way to die, wouldn't it be cheaper and quicker to use this method for the death penalty?
