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:

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
Show me.
stop being lazy.. Do a search, and you'll find tons of people who already emailed the Gov. requesting he utilize the NG..
The leaders who are publicly speaking for the family are calling for it, as are many activists.
Search, and you will find..
There are a few Randall Terry/Alan Keyes/Pat Buchanan types calling for the National Guard.
But that does not constitute a "groundswell."
Ping.
LOL
Yes he did. He sued his own mom once, and won. I think she was in a nursing home at the time.
Not sounding more and more like, they ARE.
Jeb: "What? Documents from Keyes and Klaymen? Well, hell! Why didn't someone find me this info sooner? Let's go!!!!"
Note the ever-so-convenient plea for funds. Pontificating and criticizing the only politician who has done anything for this woman is expensive, I guess.
You better believe that's exactly what it is.
From Keyes, Klayman AND Terry.
