I'm not saying that... however, there is usually independent confirmation of their press releases... In this case, there doesn't appear to be, for whatever that's worth...

Special sessions are limited to the declared topic of the special session.

Unless 2/3 of the legislature approves adding a new topic.

This is a Special Session that was called by the Gov. on Oct. 9, 2003 to begin on Oct. 20 and end on Oct. 24...... Apparently some are saying that Johnnie Byrd will also try to add the Terri's Bill [unconfirmed]..... thus the need for the 2/3rds vote to bring it up....

Bush calls special session to lure biotech firm to Palm Beach

Associated Press

Aiming to make Florida a major player in the burgeoning world of biotechnology, Gov. Jeb Bush on Thursday called lawmakers into special session for later this month to get a major California research institute to build a new facility in Palm Beach County.

He said he called the special session to begin at noon Oct. 20 and end at 5 p.m. Oct. 24 so legislators can work on an incentive package aimed at securing the deal.

Dear Lord,

Thank You for Your gift of life. We are so grateful that You decided in your goodness to create mankind and that You want to love us and live among us.

We ask that You please intervene and preserve the life of Terri Schiavo.

We ask that You stir the consciences of those who have the power to make legal decisions that could alter this diabolical course. Your Word says that our weapons are not fleshly, but spiritual, and that we wrestle against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Please do not let anyone who has the power to change this, sleep well,until this is resolved. We ask that however it can be done, that Terri's life would be spared.

Thank You Lord

In Jesus' Name,

Amen

There's a poll concerning Jeb Bush's handling of Terris' case at http://www.wnd.com. The editorial there about Terri by Tom Ambrose is also very interesting.

Pure Political grandstanding ! This should have been done three weeks ago. Terri Shiavo will probably die from starvation and lack of water before this bill is even presented for a vote. Then the "Gov" will probably veto it anyway. Jeb Bush is running away from this issue as fast as his tiny little feet can carry him. It will bite him in the B!tt come election time. Guarantee this issue will be an even bigger problem for GWB.

Sorry. There is no poll on that link or on the story about Terri Shiavo. The poll would only make me angy: There would be no button to push for "Jeb is acting like a sissy boy coward."
