BUMP for a later read

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Okay, I admit it. I missed the quote by Terri where she gave this instruction to her [husband]:

Michael Schiavo says he is carrying out his wife's wishes that she not be kept alive artificially

Does anyone have a link to text or audio of it? Thanks.

I called the office a few minutes ago (1pm) and the girl said that Jeb has his entire staff struggling to find a way around this and that he was EXTREMELY (she stressed that word) in the court system regarding this case.

I for one hope he can pull a rabbit out of his hat.

BUMP!

Michael Schiavo wants the State of Florida to finish the murder of his wife, perhaps believing it will somehow absolve him of his own guilt and culpability in the matter.

I think he's nuts. Even more nuts are the people he's got assisting him in this evil "quest."

If I were the current girlfriend, I'd be spending my life looking over my shoulder.

Go, Jeb, go!

I had faith he would try something...

Doctors have testified that the noises and facial expressions Terri Schiavo makes are reflexes and do not indicate that she has enough mental capabilities to communicate with others. No bias here, eh? Some doctors (those cxhosen by the euthanasia attorney, Felos) have characterized her facial movements and following of directions a 'not enough mental capacity to respond'. I'm just about fed up with this evil bias of the scoailist societal engineering media whores! Professionals? Yeah, professional liars and deceivers ... and they're trained that way!

Reply I just got

Thank you for writing to Governor Bush and expressing interest in the
well-being of Terri Schindler Schiavo. He has asked me to respond on his
behalf. The Governor is very concerned about Terri, and his thoughts and
prayers are with the Schindler family.



The Governor, more than any other state official, has a responsibility to
ensure that the laws be faithfully executed and to give a voice to the
citizens of the state. It is because of these dual responsibilities that
the Governor felt compelled to write a letter to the circuit court judge
expressing an opinion on this difficult matter and to file an amicus brief
to accompany the Schindlers' federal lawsuit. The Governor is disappointed
by the decisions made by the state and federal courts in these cases.



However, the Florida Constitution prevents the Governor from acting further.
Florida law gives the courts, not the Governor, authority over
guardianships. For that reason, despite his great concern for Terri's life,
the Governor has no power to intervene further.



Thank you again for writing.



Sincerely,



Lauren O'Connor

Office of
Citizens' Services

The media will just not stop saying that she is in a vegetative state.

Our pathetic efforts have been proven useless and impotent.

The only thing that might have gotten the attention needed was massive civil disobedience to prevent Sciavo and his goons from having access to the woman now held under armed guard at this vile house of death. Hundreds , even thousands of us shoyuld have shown up. We didn't. We moan and wring our hands and pray but do not act. It seems we never act.

The other side does. They get attention and results with mob even rent a mob tactics.

We seem to believe that we are above that. Prayers just aren't working folks. America is being transformed before our eyes into a frightening, ugly place. Yet we will not take even modest action.

They other side knows that this is our weakness. This is best illustrated by a particularly vile chant I once heard the pro-abortin zealots used to taunt pro-life people after a court decision affirming the pro-abortionists.<>P>"Pray, yuo'll need it. Your cause has been defeated". Cruel but true. Prayer alone will do nothing but eventually lead us into re-education centers or worse.

No one here would in these days be critical of anyone who helped a runaway slave get out of the south to the north to freedom...
Yet many would stand in the way of Terri...now a slave of the state...to escape with her parents help to Canada to safety and life...

Why can't Jeb Bush convene a special session of the legislature to grant him the ability to stay an execution in civil cases (as he can in criminal cases)?

The legislative and executive branches of government are part of a system of checks and balances to prevent the judiciary from abusing its power, and vice versa. USE THEM!

I'm not interested if she's in a vegatative state or not.

If she's not on life support, and she's not on an IV, and she can be taught to eat, then that therapy should proceed.

If she can eat on her own and do everything else on her own, then starving her is unconscionable.

[Momaw Nadon]

Governor Jeb Bush, if you are not legally able to intervene, then call your brother who has the power to issue executive orders!!!

Time is running out!!!

[The Old Hoosier]

Send in the National Guard and take her elsewhere.

[Naspino]

Jeb!! She's has vital information regarding Al Queda! Send in the troops and drag her off to Gauntanamo with her parents!!

[joesnuffy]

People pay lifeguards to protect them and their children from drowning and hazards
Say a child is drowning ...but the lifeguard wont get into the water
because he is afraid of the sharks...
what the hell kinda life guard does that make him?...one with white feathers...

Jeb Bush's job is to protect his people...and if he is afraid to....he aint much of a life guard imo
