LIVE FROM TERRI'S VIGIL - EMERGENCY - LEGISLATIVE SESSION - CALL FLORIDA REPS NOW!!

Terri Schindler Schiavo's Vigil ^ | 10/19/03 | Becki Snow

[dandelion]

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.

Lord bless you and all the other faithful friends of Terri down there.

That was me, but in all fairness, there were some of them who were quite supportive of Terri and even of Jeb, and you know how they hate the Bush's.

I just pray that someone is slipping her drops of water and would be great if someone could sneak some liquid antibiotics in her as she is probably septic by now. The Bill will pass but on my knees begging God for it not to be too late for terri

[freeparoundtheclock]

Floriduh Voter's getting real sleepy. lol We had a press conference this evening. We are trying to keep the occasional weirdos in line, you know, the usual. lol

[Fawnn]

I haven't been vocal on these threads, but I've been praying for Terri's survival -- and telling those I encounter about her plight. ... My prayers include the sincere hope that Terri's therapy restores her "voice" so that someday she can tell her story about what happened; only then will anyone learn what I suspect is the real reason why her husband-in-name-only is so hell bent on silencing her.

Bump.

[floriduh voter]

Thanks. This has been an incredible experience that I will never forget. Terri's family are fine people and our friends. Everyone who has come down to Hospice Woodside in droves "were drawn there". The attorney of the husband is on my am radio every hour and each time it's a new attempt at damage control. He has lost control of his client, Michael Schiavo who has written his own opinion piece at tbo.com. Judge Greer tried damage control last week but it didn't work.

Truth is prevailing in this small community of Pinellas Park because until we can say "mission accomplished", we continue to peaceably assemble, to speak the truth and to pray.

[floriduh voter]

"Was drawn there." (up too late again).

Thank you for supporting us too.

[bonfire]

Thanks for everything you have done! God will bless you.

[syriacus]

Folks, we are taking back America. Do you know what it feels like that this is part of history and we have killed the lawn at Hospice? We were chided for killing the grass the day they removed Terri's feeding tube.

Good work and wonderful news, floriduh voter!

I don't have to tell you...the lawn can be replaced, but Terri can't.

Heads up! From post 210, it may be at 9:00a.:

I've heard the Senate is meeting at 9:00 am tomorrow and alternately that they are meeting tomorrow night. So, if anyone can nail down the time the Senate is meeting for me, please do a post.

[MagnoliaMS]

And if you find out what time, would you please ping me?

[shezza]

From the FL Senate website:

"The Senate will convene on Tuesday, October 21, 2003, at 6:45 p.m.

[firewalk]

Thanks for the ping
I heard the bill will be voted on today

[utahagen]

God Almighty, can poor Terri hold on much longer?

[disillusioned in florida]

Sen Mike Bennett on local talk radio her in Lee County.
Says he will not support the bill. "The Bible says we have to honor the vows between husband and wife".
Doesn't he know that Michael has forfeited the rights of her husband by matter of adultery?

Everyone needs to email this Senator and set him straight.

Says it will not come to the Senate floor until 6pm this evening.

It is being discussed right now. It is on www.WFSU.org, has been on since 8 am. They have made an admendment to the bill, but will not vote on the bill right away, I will update when they do vote.

You can go to www.WFSU.org go to the internet tab, and click on the first option Florida Channel Webcast. I cant link it for some reason.

I am going to call the station and ask for a breif of the session, which I dont think I will have a problem getting.
I will post it here as soon as I get it.

So, yes, they did meet, they made an ammendment to the bill (not sure what that ammendment is as of yet) and will vote on the bill soon, but not right way (meaning not within the next hour).

If I am understanding this correctly, they are sending it back to the House.... I could be wrong, but that is what I am hearing.

If that is true, I am going to be so freakin frustrated.
