WASHINGTON, March 23 /Christian Wire Service/ -- The 11th Hour Coalition to Save Terri Schiavo's Life will hold simultaneous press conferences -- Wednesday, March 23 -- at 12 noon in Washington, D.C., and Tallahassee, Fla.

This ad hoc partnership of religious and political organizations -- which will gather in front of the White House and the Florida governor's mansion -- will call on President George W. Bush and Gov. Jeb Bush to use their executive powers to protect Terri Schiavo from starvation.

"There are two people in the United States who can save Terri Schiavo's life right now. The president of the United States and the governor of Florida have the authority to use the police services at their disposal to take Terri into protective custody, restore her food and hydration, and arrest anyone who would interfere," said Dr. Paul Schenck, executive director of the National Pro-Life Action Center on Capitol Hill. "For the sake of Terri's life, we cannot afford to wait while the courts dither over jurisdiction."

Please tell us what this statute says and how it applies in this case.

[KevinDavis]

I agree.

[Smokin' Joe]

How about an Executive Order?

[PilloryHillary]

Signed up yesterday...welcome to Free Republic.

[Raycpa]

Does anybody understand the danger here?

Absolutely

32All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34Then the King will say to those on His right hand, "Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.'

The result to our nation if we don't giver her drink is disaster. The president's job is to protect us and we will need protection as a nation from God's judgment.

Before you dismiss it out of hand, think about some parallels to Little Rock 1957, where federal troops were called out so a few African-American kids could go to school.

I think there's some potential, but I don't have time to think it through at the moment.

The danger appears to me that Terri will die.

[MeekOneGOP]

I'm hoping I'm wrong, but it sure looks like it's over for Terri.

[Just mythoughts]

"OMG. On what basis would either of them do this? What authority do they have? Does anybody understand the danger here?"


DANGER??? You are ok nobody is coming after you, which god were you calling for?

[SoFloFreeper]

Terri should be saved, but this is going too far. I disagree with these people.

Pray. And pray hard. And work your ASS off in the next election.

[traumer]

No police state with Police Powers !

[late bloomer]

FUGGEDABOUDIT!!!!! IT AINT GONNA HAPPEN !!

BUSH IS A PHONY GUTLESS POL JUST LIKE THE REST OF THEM !!!!

[Trust but Verify]

And what about when The State decided that a parent is unfit despite what courts have ruled? Should The State be able to overrule courts and come for your children?

Do you not see danger here? This issue is bigger than one person. I'm very frightened by this.

[AMDG&BVMH]

"this is not a police state."

sorry -- tell that to Terri's family who are patted down and wanded and have a police officer in the room when they are visiting their daughter to ENFORCE the court's rule that they not help her!

The executive is the branch that controls police -- not the judiciary. Yet the police state IS being contolled by judges in this case.

It's not going to happen. Both men have excellent lawyers who would inform them that this would be unconstitutional and potentially an impeachable offense.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I'll continue to pray.

[MikefromOhio]

hmmmm...

if Perouted can pull this one off, I might consider him a viable 3rd party candidate from now on....

[steveegg]

I am all for saving Terri, but this is damn scary. Talk about a slippery slope.

If official action is to be taken, I'd rather see the Capitol Police do it to ensure that Terri is available for a Congressional summons. Failing that, it is time for we the people to take matters in our own hands.
