Freepers, we need your help NOW! This is coming to you from Terri's family, live from the vigil site.

Jeb Bush has called an emergency special session and they will take it up 8:05am eastern time.IF the measure passes, Terri's execution will be stayed and feeding/hydration will resume immediately. She will be SAVED if this bill passes.

We need you ALL to call the Florida Legislative Branch - House and Senate. They can be found at

http://www.floridasoundoff.com/browse/pol_contact.htm

All contact numbers and emails can be found at this url.

Terri is still alive and she's starting to really feel the effects of dehydration. Her skin is starting to crack, and she is in pain - but TERRI IS FIGHTING TO LIVE. This is NOT over. By the Grace of God, she is still alive. If Terri is willing to fight, we have an obligation to fight along side her. No matter where you are tonight, or where you are registered to vote, we need you to call these Florida Legislators NOW.

Emailed him, though he has already received a snail mail from me.

Last week I sent snail mail to each of the contacts listed on Terrisfight.org.

[editor-surveyor]

Come one, come all and make those calls now!

[Neets]

Please do not keep/put me on your ping list regarding this issue.

Thanks

BUMP

[Republic]

Bump and GOD BLESS YOU ALL. I will call King's office....does anyone know if the special session will be televised? Most of you know this already-but there is NOTHING more powerful than PHONE CALLS. Emails can be chucked by staffers-but a real human being on the other end of the phone line is more difficult to ignore.

A phone call is worth a thousand speedy form emails.

Please call and put the power of your voice behind your convictions.

[Dante3]

Phone and e-mail.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Good note.. I think the problem is these people have no souls. We might have believe at one time that some of them did, now we know for sure. Thanks for the wake up call God.

CP, I don't live in Florida. Will my call be relevent to them?

...-BTTT-

On another thread---there is a list with PHONE NUMBERS of ALL of the board members of the Florida Hospice org.

Martha lenderman, the chair, is the sister of a bench buddy of Greer's, judge lenderman.

Dr Miller-a cancer doctor at St Anthony's, should KNOW BETTER and he will get a call from me.

BTW-Weren't Hospice's designed and chartered to be a calm and LOVING place for terminally ILL patients to pass on...

WHAT THE HELL???????

TERRI ISN't TERMINAL.

And Terri WAS NOT DYING WHEN SHE WAS STUCK IN THIS HOSPICE WHERE SHIAVO AND HIS BUDDIES, ALL EMESHED with the HOSPICE in different ways, could KILL her with hopefully not too much fuss.

Wrong!

[diamond6]

I'm sorry, but who is King, I don't see his name on any list?

Why are you yelling at me? I never said the above. I have been calling, emailing, fasting, praying all night for her. You have confused me with someone else.

[Florida Mama]

Just got off the phone with King's Jacksonville office. The lady told me the special session was called to address budget issues and that Byrd may introduce Terri's Bill but that it will have no effect on Terri's situation...the Gov has no constitutional authority to intervene
````````````

I was told the same thing this morning.. that there was no legal way to interfere with what was going on with Terri, that even if the bill was approved (she said it would not be) that it would have no effect on terris situation because it would not be "Retroactive"... and that the vote on such a bill, again if it were to happen, would not happen until THURSDAY...

So, there is what I was told, which is in accordance with what you were told. I dont see this being able to help terri if all that has been stated is true.

Anyone have any other info that might give me some hope?

I don't know. But it should not hurt.

[Republic]

Oh sheesh--I am so sorry----I was talking, ranting actually, to everyone. I didn't mean you personally. Please forgive me!!! My comment was made in general....I will watch this from now on and not make that mistake again. (Hopefully)

"Anyone have any other info that might give me some hope? "

The family is also appealling with a Judge Moore to stop the starvation process. No dates were given as to when he would decide or anything though.

[shezza]

Lord have mercy...look at this! I don't know what to believe any more.

[diamond6]

Phew!!!!!!!!

[diamond6]

Is it true that they won't hear the bill today?

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
DAVID ROYSE
Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - 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.
