I just don't get it: nothing in the memorandums that allows him step in now?!!! Jeb needs to step in
immediately. Why is he allowing this to happen.
He is going to be complicit in murder?

Okay, this is what is happning now.
#1 Gov. Bush just gave a staetment that he recieved the 5 memorandiums and his legal staff is STILL going over them, but so far he has been advised that there is nothing in them, which allows him to step in now. He keeps giving the family "HINTS" of hope!!!!
#2 Terris was allegedly sooooo medicated (Per Michael's orders) that this morning when her mother went to her bedside, she wouldn't wake up. This was immediately brought to the attention of everyone ... and severely upset her family. Later Susie went in, (her younger sister) and Terri was "alert", BUT Michael's attorney "George Foelo's just gave a statement on TV the following: That because of the accuassions of the family, of Terri being over medicated, Terri will NO LONGER recieve ANY medication (meaning pain meds to keep her comfortable. Which will cause her severe PAIN. She has now been without food for almost 34 hours. And possibly longer without water, but no less then 34 hours.
# 3 Felo's said Michael recieved so many death threats that they had to place him in a safe house.
#4 I can assure you after spending over 72 hours up there and with this family, they are along with soooo many others, doing everything humanly possible to save Terri's life, as she fights to LIVE! I just got off the phone with Jude at Gov. Bush's office (his aid, a young man) (850) 488-4441 I did what you all have been doing, but added this... the finding of MANY attorneys today across the United States: Gov. Bush NEEDS to step IN NOW to use his EXECITIVE POWERS as the Gov. of Florida can do, to remove Terri immediately from the Hospice house and care of her husband, BEFORE SHE DIES!
It is against the law to deprive any disabled person the right to food and water, that in turn will cause dehydration and starvation and finally death. It is HIS job to protect and serve the Citizens of Florida, he Took an OATH and SWORE to do just that. Starving Terri to death is a CRIME in the state of Florida!!!
He met with the family yesterday in a (WE GOT REAL LUCKY) 30 minute meeeting and he gave them his word that he would have his legal team and "others" who knew the laws to find any looop holes... everyone up there with us and many others searched the Laws al throughout the night and found the above 5 memorandiums, and had them sent to Gov. Bush 1st thing this am.
The are POSTED on Terri's web site! I am back now and talking with the family by phone, I just spoke to Susie and Mike and this family needs us. We have got to keep calling Bush until one of two things happen. He either does HIS DAMN JOB and saves Terri OR there is no longer a reason to call him. This is killing this family, they do NOT deserve this and TERRI DESERVES TO LIVE!!!!!!!!!! Please help them. Everyone of you are known to this family, this I promise you, every single one of you... this family is grateful to you, from the bottoms of their heart, they are not giving up, they beg that you do not either... PLEASE.........PLEASE don't!!! Love you all, Lisa

I agree.
~~~~ SUGGESTED ACTION ~~~~
I received this email: If you are convinced that what Terri Schiavo has been experiencing over the last several years and now is cruel and inhumane, call the FL Abuse Hotline 1 - 800 - 962 - 2873
FL Statue 415.103 -- mandates reports of abuse by professionals. A "vulnerable adult" is an individual 18 years old or more whose daily living is compromised due to mental, physical, or developmental disabilites.
"Abuse" is defined by the statute as "any willful act or threatened act taht causes or is likely to cause significant impairment to a vulnerable adult's physical, mental, or emotional health." -----
At a certain point, you will hear this message: "The safety and well being of Florida's most vulnerable citizens is very important to us. Persons making reports in good faith are not subject to prosecution. Intentional false reporting is a violation of FL law."
This is when you need to carefully consider if you truly believe this is abuse or neglect.
You will be asked a number of questions on this long form -- all allegations are truly taken seriously! Most of us know those answers from our visits to the http://www.terrisfight.org website (address of victim, age, what your concerns are). Some I didn't know (phone number of facility).
The person taking the information was businesslike but sympathetic ("trained counselors" take the calls).

I am convinced that a precious citizen of the state of FL is being abused -- so I made the call. I'd expressed my concerns to the governor, and he said he's concerned, too, so I figure I'm in good company.
I started a food fast yesterday morning (by accident at first; funny how things work). I had to break it a while ago for the discomfort, and I'd been taking fluids.
