TALLAHASSEE, FL -- According to a news release sent by the Terry Schindler-Schiavo Foundation, Florida Speaker Johnnie Byrd will introduce "Terri's Bill" during the special session Monday.

The bill would put an immediate moratorium on all dehydration and starvation deaths in Florida. Meanwhile, supporters of Terri Schiavo showed up Sunday outside a Pinellas Park hospice.

Doctors say Schiavo has been in a vegetative state since complications from a heart attack in 1990. Her husband was granted a court order that her feeding tube be removed, saying his wife wouldn't have wanted to be kept alive.

...Go get'em, Rep.

...Go save her, Jeb.

[Theodore R.]

This mistress holds the key to the insurance policy on Terri, as I understand it. The policy may have been written AFTER Terri collapsed; if so, wouldn't that be fraud in the policy, for the premiums would be cost-prohibitive? All this is ultimately about money plus Schiavo's absolute hatred for Terri and all the Schindlers. Even a fifth grader could figure that out if he were permitted access to the facts.

[ALOHA RONNIE]

...The Point here is that TERRI can't do anything about the Man she married.

...We and the Governor of Florida can and MUST.

[ALOHA RONNIE]

.."SAVE TERRI NOW"..

...is both my E-Mail Heading and Message I just sent to all Florida State Legislators.

...My Incoming E-mail Box is just lighting up like a Christmas Tree from all Confirmation of Receipts coming back. I've NEVER seen anything like it.

...Who's next..?

[MeekOneGOP]

I think Jeb has done as much as he can, and hope something comes up, and SOON ! ...

Thanks for the link to the WND article ...

[EggsAckley]

Tick Tock, Jeb.

[LadyPilgrim]

Good Morning Ron.

I emailed earlier this AM and my box did the same thing.

I read on another thread that the session is meeting at 1:45 PM, today.

Or maybe it was this one???????
I've been up a while.

In the meantime, if we could all call friends and relatives down there, it might be all that's needed.

Tell THEM to call THEIR Senators.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Bump!

[shezza]

Good on ya!

[wildandcrazyrussian]

Good work!

By the way, I found a website for "Hospice Patients Alliance" at http://www.hospicepatients.org/is-the-hospice-A-faithful-Steward-of-Donations.html

which shows all the current Board of Directors members (but not thge past ones, such as right-to-die attorney George Felos), and here's an interesting one:

Gus Michael Bilirakis
  Florida State House Representative - District 48
  31608 U.S. Hwy 19, North
  Palm Harbor, FL 34684-3723
  (O) 669-1911 bilirakis.gus@leg.state.fl.us 

I wonder if his staff appreciates the notifications?

[OXENinFLA]

Am I right in that the Senate will bring this up at 1:45 today?

Is this going to have to go through the house first? What time is that going to happen?

[MeekOneGOP]

I think the main point is not whether he called the special session for THIS
issue, but rather that the issue is to be addressed. I hope it does, and QUICK !

I am afraid that it will be too late to help Terri, but hopefully will prevent
Legal Liberal Murder in the future ...

NEVER FORGET - TERRI LOVES

[maestro]

Florida does NOT have a '911'.........????

:-(

[shezza]

By the way, anyone who wants to post a special prayer for Terri and her family may do so at this thread. My understanding is that the prayers will be printed out and provided to the family during their vigil at the hospice.

[ALOHA RONNIE]

Prayer Sent TERRI's Way.

[JulieRNR21]

Jeb is address ing the FL Legislature now. He is discussing the Scripps Laboratory coming to FL.

I am listening via internet.

[FR_addict]

Does anyone have the email or phone numbers for the Vatican?

We can start an email campaign to the Vatican.

Fox has stopped carrying this story. We need to hammer Fox too.

Terri is still alive and we need to let these politicians in Florida know we won't forget.

[JulieRNR21]

He is asking for funds to attack the Scripps facility to Florida.

Listen here:

Let us pray that Terri's Bill will be introduced & addressed after the Scripps issue.
