Dear Friend,
As of today -- Easter Sunday -- Terri Schiavo is STILL fighting for her life -- which itself is proof that it is NOT her wish to die, as her estranged "husband" keeps claiming.
But time is definitely running out. Terri has been starving to death for nine days now. Except for one drop of communion wine that she was allowed on her thickened tongue today, she has had NO food or water for nine days. As you can imagine, as her brother Bobby described her today, she looks like someone in a Nazi concentration camp. She's suffering -- but her family reports that she still smiles when she sees her mother come into the room, and she still tries to speak in a cracked whisper.
Terri's life is STILL worth saving. And we still have hope she can be saved -- but again, we need YOUR help to make it work.
There's TWO FRONTS we're attacking on now -- once again, the state and federal levels. But this time, we have a REAL CHANCE to break through the "roadblocks" that the enemies of life have been putting up in front of us.
Please take just a couple of minutes to make a crucial difference in saving Terri's life.
TAKE ACTION: Here are the two areas we need you to take action in NOW:
1) Governor Jeb Bush has made several statements the last few days, claiming that he doesn't have the constitutional or statutory authority to take Terri in to protective custody.
But as we've mentioned before, we *personally* told his people FACE TO FACE that he DOES have that authority: we had a meeting on March 23 between folks from RightMarch.com (William Greene and our attorney, Larry Klayman) and Governor Bush's chief counsel (his top lawyer on staff). Then we had a meeting on March 24 between our folks (this time, Larry Klayman AND Ambassador Alan Keyes) and Gov. Bush's Chief of Staff. Both times, we presented information on why the Governor DOES have the authority RIGHT NOW under Florida Law and the Florida constitution to take Terri into protective custody NOW, and save her life.
But Gov. Bush failed to take action. Why? We believe that his staff -- the political cronies that he has surrounded himself with -- have NOT given him the documents we provided. They just smirked and gave us political platitudes, acting like they were doing US some big favor by granting us five minutes of their valuable time. Then they walked off, apparently tossing Dr. Keyes' well-researched documents into the trash when they got back to their spacious corner offices.
These people are more interested in protecting their political careers than saving Terri's life. So it's time for US to turn up the heat on them, and DEMAND that they deliver the documents that Gov. Bush NEEDS -- so he can save Terri Schiavo. Ambassador Keyes and Larry Klayman are STILL willing to meet with the Governor, or to have a conference call to explain his authority, and his DUTY.
We need EVERYONE READING THIS MESSAGE to call Governor Bush's lead counsel and chief of staff RIGHT AWAY, and tell them to do one simple thing:
"SHOW GOVERNOR BUSH THE DOCUMENTS FROM ALAN KEYES AND LARRY KLAYMAN -- TELL HIM TO EXERCISE HIS CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY, AND TAKE TERRI SCHIAVO INTO PROTECTIVE CUSTODY RIGHT AWAY."
Call, fax or e-mail now:
Raquel Rodriguez, General Counsel 850-488-3494 (office) 850-488-9810 (fax) raquel.rodriguez@myflorida.com
William Large, Deputy Chief of Staff 850-488-5603 (office) 850-922-4292 (fax) william.large@myflorida.com
Also contact Gov. Bush and ask him to read the documents:
Governor Jeb Bush 850-488-4441 (office) 850-487-0801 (fax) http://capwiz.com/sicminc/mail/?id=9483&type=GV&state=FL
(If you get busy signals, or full mailboxes, or unanswered fax machines, please know that these ARE the correct numbers and addresses. Just keep trying, if you can.)
You can click below to read -- AND USE -- Alan Keyes' documentation that explains to Gov. Jeb Bush that he has the legal authority to save Terri Schiavo... the SAME document that we delivered to Gov. Bush's staff:
http://www.rightmarch.com/media/JudicialReview.doc
2) On Monday, we'll be sending several representatives up to Washington, D.C., to confront House Speaker Dennis Hastert and Congressman Tom DeLay, asking them to explain why they have not enforced the subpoenas issued by Congress to Terri Schiavo. Our people will also urge Congress to find Florida Probate Judge George Greer in contempt for deliberately IGNORING Terri Schiavo's subpoena.
Call, fax or e-mail Reps. Hastert and DeLay now, urging them to enforce the Congressional subpoenas and to hold Judge Greer in contempt -- and to therefore order the re-insertion of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube... and ask President Bush to order the Department of Justice to move in to save Terri:
Representative J. Dennis Hastert (R-IL) 202-225-2976 (office) 202-225-0697 (fax) http://capwiz.com/sicminc/mail/?id=227&type=CO&state=IL
Representative Tom DeLay (R-TX) 202-225-5951 (office) 202-225-5241 (fax) http://capwiz.com/sicminc/mail/?id=576&type=CO&state=TX
President George W. Bush 202-456-1414 (White House) 202-456-2461 (fax) http://capwiz.com/sicminc/mail/?id=20004&type=PR
As long as Terri has breath in her body, IT'S NOT TOO LATE to save her from starving to death. Her family hasn't given up hope... so NEITHER SHOULD WE.
NOTE: It's been very expensive for us to engage in the activism in Florida this week. We reserved hotel rooms; we rented meeting halls for rallies and activist/lobbying training sessions; we rented buses to bring people from Pinellas Park to Tallahassee and back again; we flew legal experts like Alan Keyes and Larry Klayman in to meet with Governor Bush's people; we're flying Larry Klayman up to D.C. to meet with Congress and conduct multiple press conferences; we've spent funds on tons of media and press releases... the list goes on and on.
Thank you for your concern, your prayers, your efforts, and your support. Together, we can prevail against judicial tyranny, and rescue Terri Schiavo from a cruel death.
Please keep us in your prayers.
Be sure to send this Alert to everyone you know who wants to help save Terri's life. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Randall Terry President, Society for Truth and Justice
William Greene, President RightMarch.com
Has Larry Klayman ever won anything? (case, settlement, anything?) Has he ever uncovered anything of any use?
Governor Pilate has washed his hands of the whole affair.
Especially when the "legal theiries" are from Larry Klaman, Randall Terry and Alan Keyes.
I'm stuned that Governor Bush doesn't jump on this very series advice from Larry Klayman and Alan Keyes, who are hugh thinkers.
Kid,
Contrary to your prior comments on this subject a few weeks ago, there is quite a groundswell of support for the Gov. to utilize the National Guard,etc.
Most people in the leadership positions, including Fr. Frank Pavone (international director of Priests for life), Randall Terry (Family Spokesman), Joe Schiedler (Pro-Life Action League), amongst others, have called for such action..
However, I knew this wouldn't convince you even back in our prior discussion over this.
However, I've been vindicated on this... Not as nutty as you think I am...
Jeb isn't telling the truth....
Phone the following numbers and ask your family to also:
Governor Jeb Bush: 850-480-7146
President George Bush: 202-456-1414
Congressman Tom Delay: 202-225-5951
Senator Bill Frist: 202-224-3344
Senator Rick Santorum: 202-224-6324
And please continue to pray!!! Terri SCHINDLER has NOT given up and neither should we!!!!!
Jeb Bush and his legal team are not the only ones who say that Jeb has no legal right to take custody of Terri. I have heard this from quite a few legal sources.
>>stand for the principles you claim to believe in
I believe in the priciple that the Judicary cannot trump the State constitution (as Greer did and Jeb is allowin). I also believe that the Gov. is not obligated to follow illicit [illegal] court orders.
Don't tell me what I belive in, because you obviously don't know..
[quote]Governor Jeb Bush: 850-480-7146[/quote]
Can you check this number.. it doesn't work for me... tells me to check the area code and number.. thanks..
850-488-7146
Thanks... now to keep calling till I get thur..
I wouldn't pay 10 cents for any legal expertise from Larry Klayman or Alan Keyes.
Is he posting here? Hi, Jeb! (waving)
