What a POWERFUL statement your post makes!!!!

[Budge]

Yes I can, and WILL. I will also send a copy to Gov. Bush!

[sweetliberty]

Well, I don't think he can be re-elected anyway, can he? But that isn't the point anyway. The point is that he has the responsibility to do everything in his power to stop this insanity.

I hope that Terri's bill, being introduced today is successful and that it is quick enough to save Terri. Sounds like there is room for loopholes in it though and apparently there are some legislators in Florida who are against it. We'll see. I would be surprised if there is much coverage of it. I hope someone will keep us posted here to the progress of this special session today. Terri needs a miracle!

NYer - SENT, to greer and Gov Bush!

[Budge]

I think your fish symbol ( <>< ) is VERY timely!

Would you object if I, and perhaps other Christians, adopt it?

[Budge]

What an AWESOME letter to Governor Bush!!!

Thank you. I welcome anyone to use any or all of it to anyone involved in this.

What a POWERFUL statement your post makes!!!!

You know what they say - a picture is worth a thousand words. Pull that plastic tube out of Christopher Reeves gullet and he wouldn't last 5 minutes. He is supposedly such an advocate for the rights of the disabled, why isn't he speaking up for Terri??

[viaveritasvita]

Would you object if I, and perhaps other Christians, adopt it?

Well, considering that I and millions of other Christians throughout the centuries adopted it from the 1st Century Christians (it was a secret symbol used to identify each other), please use it here and anywhere else!

Spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world!

Prayers for Terri

Shezza - can an annulmment be considered by the family? Then the mother and dad could be appointed legal guardians.

[Budge]

I really didn't think you'd object!

"Shezza - can an annulmment be considered by the family?"

Two minds with the same thought, I have been trying to look up info about this.

"I wait with you for the blocking of posters. There are a couple of really vitriolic ones on these Terri threads. I just don't know why this makes them so angry and mean."


Well, exactly.. lol.

I was amazed to see ones that were complaining in the state threads that discussing Terri should be done in the Terri threads, and then lo and behold, there they were still complaining IN the threads.

I guess I should have figured out the deliberate goading into an argument... I just don't understand it. Mostly.

If Judge Greer had followed the law and either not allowed Felos to fire her guardian ad litem, or else had gotten her another, she would have divorced Michael a long time ago.

"very pregant wife"? would they be from Wisconsin (heehee, with a pronounced accent!)?

If that's so, I had the pleasure of meeting him, THEM -- what a dear concerned couple they are. What a trooper she was, even in her 8th month. She found lodging w/a nearby friend; he stayed at vigil site all night long.

I gave them a beach towel as a memento of their time in FL. I was touched that they'd come to this beautiful vacation spot and yet never set foot on the nearby beach. In truth, there was a lot to be touched by . . . it's hard to be at such things. There were so many dear people there. . .

May God bless those who are at the vigil / protest with rest & peace, despite the pain and hardship of being there.

Terri's daddy is a dear.

So's her mother, her brother, and her sister.

May Terri be freed to return to her loving family.

[cyn]

Amen, and Amen -- this is a fierce, sustained battle in that ongoing war against evil. It is quite draining for those who are there. Prayers continue for them.

May angels seen and unseen continue to protect and minister to Terri.

"I have been making a point of talking to people who are not connected to the internet about this case and I have yet to run across a single one who knew any particulars about the case....just that Terri was either vegetative or in a coma, both completely untrue."

In all cases, as I and others have educated people about the facts of Terri's situation, they come to understand that this is MURDER.

I held a sign up at the intersection of 66th and 102nd for several hours Sunday morning 10/19:

Terri is NOT in a coma.
She can swallow.
Let her mother feed her!

Interesting how the moms driving by w/their little ones in their minivans 'got it' when it was put like that. (and how strange that older folks and those w/disabled hangtags did not. . .)

May the truth of Terri's situation spread beyond evil's ability to control it any longer...this is, yes, 'bigger than us', to paraphrase michael.
