PRESS RELEASE

Special Session Called in State Legislature Speaker of the House, Johnnie Byrd to introduce “Terri’s Bill”

Clearwater, FL October 19, 2003: The Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, has called a special session of the Florida Legislature for Monday, October 20, 2003. At that time, Florida’s Speaker of the House will introduce “Terri’s Bill”. By Florida law, two-thirds majority vote are required to have a topic entered.

Volunteers with the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation have learned that Senate President, Jim King is against this bill.

The Bill would put an immediate moratorium on all dehydration and starvation deaths currently pending in Florida.

We have come to a time when the merchants of death have created a constitutional crisis and a justice gridlock, while the rightful life of Florida’s disabled and vulnerable citizens tragically hang on Terri Schindler-Schiavo’s court ordered dehydration and starvation death.

We urge all concerned Floridians to contact their Senators and State House members to vote for Terri’s bill.

Time is short.

Father, I continue to lift Terri before You. Lord, I am still of the belief that we are entering the days where we will see Your wonderous Glory manifested on this earth as never witnessed before. You have promised us such as a sign of our returning King, Your Son, Jesus. Heavenly Father, I do not have the gift of eloquence as many of my beloved brothers and sisters here do. But I thank You that You have called such wonderful and loving people together in faith for a young lady in Florida.

Jesus, I ask that You would increase in us so that we may increase in Your love. Not just for Terri, as it is easy to love her seeing her precious smile and it is easy to fight for her knowing the injustice that is being perpetrated upon her. But, give us love for those who are in such desperate need for it Lord. Namely, those who have maligned this precious woman. Those who are our enemies.

Lord, I come to you reminding you of Your word. You said that if You be lifted up You would draw all men unto You. Precious Savior, I ask that by the power of Your Holy Spirit, by whom all things are done, that you would pierce the darkness of their hearts with Your revealing light. I ask for mercy upon them Father. As hard as it is for me, us, to understand or fathom, as Your love is deeper than man can comprehend, I know that you desire to see them saved. It is not your will that anyone perish. Draw them unto you Father and reconcile them to You that they may find relationship with Your Son who died for their sins.

Father, I ask for favor in tomorrow's session. May Your presence be in that room among the leaders of the sate of Florida. May Your Holy spirit be there to minister the "right thing" to each of those participating. I ask for unity among party lines. A divine unity Lord. Visit them tonight Lord as they prepare to make this decision.

Lord, most of all I praise you and thank you for yoking us together here for Terri. That your people, from all denominations, have come together for this woman is a testament to Your word that tells us we are of One faith.

All of these things I ask in the mighty name of Your Son, Jesus. I give you all the glory and honor and praise. Amen...
