Hi, friends. It's 9:50 p.m. Thursday night. The 24/7 Vigils since Tuesday have had at least several people for every hour since it began. I just came to report that much is going on behind the scenes and we have even more people at Hospice this evening. I hope everyone caught Hannity & Colmes. If not, please watch the replay later tonight if you can.

GOP and GWB Man has been here 24/7 and I've almost done the same. I met the lady from Not Dead Yet Organization and other folks who have flown in from other parts of the country to show support for Terri.

The message for tonight is KEEP CALLING GOVERNOR BUSH. That is the message I'm requesting until you hear otherwise from the front line at the Hospice Vigil. Oh, and keep praying. We are all sunburn and getting tired but we are standing with the Schindlers and they are feeling stronger because we are there for them around the clock.

Can't give any updates. If you've been watching tv or listening to the radio, you already realize that the media has woken up. THERE ARE SATELLITE TRUCKS, new people every day from all over the country, roses presented to us by a local florist, free food and beverages, the kindness of strangers is in abundance. I'll report back tomorrow. I'm going back to remain all night long. This is the biggest freep I've ever been to. The lawn in front of Hospice looks like your living rooms. We have moved in and are standing tall. God Bless America. God Bless Florida. FV

Summer, please tell everyone to have hope. We are attending the vigils everyday, even as Terri has missed three feedings. People should continue to call the Governor and their legislators which is in their phone books. Thank you so much, FV (back to the front lines).

P.S. There are also alternate freeps at the courthouse in Clearwater FL. People can get that address from phenn. Bye, back to Terri.

(SNIP) ‘Mr. Schindler said he was not worried about his daughter's dying just yet. The feeding tube was removed once before, for 60 hours, he said, and she suffered no consequences.

"If it was 10 minutes to 2 on Sunday afternoon," Mr. Schindler said, "I'd be very, very concerned. She's good for the next three to four days." ‘

floriduh's report that Terri has not had three feedings is cause for increased prayer ... that translates to 72 hours, 12 hours beyond the time the first tube was reinserted. Terri's Dad on Sean's radio program today was using 60 hours as a benchmark before the body begins to break down.

Heavenly Father, I pray that You will be the strength that Terri needs during these hours ... cause her to withstand physically the onslaught that has gripped her ... comfort her parents, for they have walked this way before, but are now beyond the original time ... they are into new territory ... keep them hopeful, even as we are hopeful ... may they be sustained by our continuing prayer on their behalf, and for their beloved daughter.

Send relief, I pray, dear Father ... bring this child back from the brink, for I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen ...

Without human medical intervention – the feeding tube - God would allow her to die.

Without food you would die as well. Terri can swallow and *HAS* already ate some pudding. She does not need the feeding tube to live, she probably never did.

Her "husband" wants her dead so she can't tell the world he tried to kill her.

Without your parents feeding you when you were a baby, you would have also died without intervention from God almighty.

There is a difference between guardianship and ownership. A person who is under guardianship still enjoys basic rights that are to be protected either by the state or the nation. In this case, the overriding law is a very basic one. It is the basic right to life, unable to be broken even because of physical disability.

The courts are completely disregarding Terri's basic protected right to life as stated unequivocally in the Florida Constitution, and are bestowing ownership to her husband. To be a guardian is to protect your charge, not be hell-bent on killing them. Ownership on the other hand denotes property that one can do with as they please.

Sorry folks, I'm not addressing any person in particular here. It's just late and we've been appalled at this injustice to one who is defenseless. There are rights and wrongs, and this is wrong.

The courts have decided, on hearsay of one side, that this woman is disabled and therefore may be put to death. This is not even the supreme court, and the hearsay is tainted by interests other than those of the victim. One irregularity would be distressing, two, a cause for alarm, but the sheer number of factors actively working against Terri is unfathomable; from judges, lawyers and media with right-to-die agendas to husbands with financial, adulterous and criminal interests, to ignorance of the masses...

"I do SO enjoy ruffling feathers once in a while."

It's called "trolling", my dear.

[Don Joe]

What happened to the Emergency Letters from the Thomas Moore Society? One freeper said his undisclosed source said that Jeb had dismissed them.

That can't be true?

I think you're talking about me.

It wasn't an undisclosed source who said that. My undisclosed source reported on Terri's fever.

The part about Bush dismissing them was from a newspaper article. I included the URL with the snippet.

Here it is again:

http://www.ohio.com/mld/ohio/news/7032005.htm

"The legal office has been talking to people trying to find some strategy where my office can intervene in a different fashion that will yield a different result," Bush said Thursday. "So far we have not found that option."

So there you have it.

It is now confirmed. The cowardly scoundrel has simply dismissed the very advice he solicited.

What Bush is saying translates to, "No votes for me!"

PS: Received from a source I shall not disclose: "Terri is dying right now, has spiked a temp"

[Don Joe]

The gutless wonder remains true to form.

Anyone who can still vote for this man deserves my contempt.

[Dante3]

I'm horrified. People have survived comas after many years. And if the parents want to keep her alive, why not let them?

Maybe it is just me, but I've seen more attention given by the mainstream media to the anti-capital punihsment crowds and other crazies demonstratng in favor or a cop killer or demented murderer than to the Schiavo case.

It's about time we had a regime change and got rid of some of the judges who make perverted decision. More and more this country is being run by judges.

[Don Joe]

Is it possible that there could be a conflict between what the outside legal team thinks is permissible, and what Jeb's own counsel believes is permissible?

I'm relating this to the notion that Jeb would have Governor's Counsel... like Bush has WH Counsel, correct?

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, dear, dear me. What's a statesman to do?

The poor man, unable to act without the permission of his lawyers!

[spit]

WTF would Teddy Roosevelt have done?

Did he call for his lawyers before he read the riot act and sent the Marines to Tripoli?

I don't think so.

I am so disgusted with the spineless wimps that pass themselves off as statesmen.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Have Schiavo's team of lawyers also hired outside experts, and have these opinions also been sent to the governor?

BTW according to a poster on FR... Neal Boortz said that the WH is looking into this matter. Perhaps a Federal avenue will work.

Gov Bush better act fast. Who knows what the unethical medical staff is doing to her to speed up the process. They should all join Dr. Kevorkian in his cozy prison cell. Woodside Hospice hospitals is staff by killers pretending to be doctors and nurses.

Please let us know what is said at the press conference!

[EggsAckley]

Terris does NOT have a fever, she is alert and holding on!!!

Such WONDERFUL news! Thanks for the ping!

[Diva Betsy Ross]

No justice for Terri, No votes for Jeb 2008
Email this to him right now!

[sweetliberty]

Ping!

[Van Jenerette]

REF: Terri Schiavo - precedent for intervention
This is little different from 'granny dumping' - the abandonment of an elderly parent by a child. Once the 'guardian' has 'dumped' the parent and driven away(ie. pulled the feeding tube) the state is not compelled to wait until death occurs to intervene. Legal and moral intervention is fully supportable at this time.

"I heard today Judge Greer is legally blind?"

Does the Governor know this?

[agrace]

Thanks much for the ping!

[TruthRespecter]

Thank you cyn for motivating me to get off my duff and join the fight for Terri. Here is my latest email to Jeb and call on anyone out there who has connections to JL (see below idea) to plead for her involvement to help Terri.

Mr Governor,

You've asked for legal advice and have received empowering direction from respected top legal minds.

NOW its up to you sir, and you are going to have to go out on a limb. Our servicemen overseas put it ALL on the line and now fate has dropped this in your lap. ACT NOW - in the name of God Almighty, sir, I ask!

* God and the US & FL Constitutions are on your side, - ACT NOW - time is fleeting...
* You are at the plate and not swinging, while the opposition is throwing strikes - ACT NOW

Remember the scene in the film Braveheart, in which Mel plays William Wallace who is begging Robert the Bruce to seize his leadership and LEAD, saying "the people will follow you, just LEAD". This is where you are JEB - seize your leadership and be the Governor that God and the founding fathers intend you to be (and your life-affirming citizens beg you to be). Inaction, sir, will be interpreted as betrayal by your loyal following, the history books, and your final accounting.

PS: Get Lauren (or others staffers/proxies) to ask Jessica Lynch (the rescued POW) to be involved here asking her to get down there ASAP with the people holding the vigil in front of the hospice building. It would be great if she could speak with the media on behalf of Terri. Do it NOW!! The media will cover this and the people will get the analogy of her presence.
