Julio Robaina, Fla House of Representatives
Give up hope? I have breaking news! May 11, 2005 3:30 pm est
My contact with Tallahassee just received a phone call from House Rep Julio Robaina, District 117. He's from Miami, Florida. Represesentative Robaina has authorized a Press Release as follows:
Florida Residents Please: Governor Jeb Bush is amenable to signing a Constitutional Amendment if Floridians sign a Petition requesting that "If a person who doesn't have a Living Will or written directives and are a resident of Florida, they will never be deprived of nutrition and hydration."
Representative Robaina wants to make it clear that efforts for a Constitutional Amendment be a bi-partisan measure and the Constitutional Amendment will be out of respect for the "will of the people".
Tutstar, would you be willing to start the Petition and post it here for starters? There's a window of 14 days or so so we must get as many signatures as possible.
Thanks, FV
