Florida Governor Jeb Bush is finally pursuing a course to save the life of Terri Schiavo. Governor Bush is calling a special session of the Florida legislatureon Monday to pass legislation that he worked on with Florida Speaker of the House Johnnie Byrd. ``Terri's Bill'' would immediately suspend all dehydration and starvation deaths in the state.
LifeNews.com, however is reporting that one man is the greatest obstacle to this happening, Florida Senate President Jim King, the man who controls the state Senate's agenda.
It's obviously important that we contact all state representatives, Senators, and other parties, but it is absolutely critical we put the pressure on Senator King!
Senator James E. "Jim" King, Jr.is the state Senator from Florida's district 8, which covers parts of Duval, Flagler, Nassau, St. Johns, and Volusia counties. Especially if you live in his district, please call him and tell him that he needs to listen to Governor Bush and Speaker Byrd and put this on the agenda tomorrow. Tell him you think this bill needs to be passed ASAP. And call any relatives or friends you have who live in that district to call (or email) him. Right now, he may be the one person with the most power to stop this bill. Let's let him know it needs to get passed. He needs some serious Freeping!

Terri Schiavo is brain-dead.Sheryl is brain-dead, not Terri. I'm seriously beginning to believe these are the End of Times.
To: mtbopfuyn
Really. I don't consider myself a hostile person, but if I hadn't told her off, I would have missed a golden opportunity.

What's King's agenda?
Pro-abortion links?
Pro-lawyer money?
He's got something pulling his strings..........

It angers me that politicians are so slow to act on matters like these until they are beaten over the head.
But at least the phone calls and e-mails DID make a difference.

If I were in Terri's position, I'd hope my spouse would execute my wishes and pull the plug.Jeez, here we go again. Someone came in at half time and doesn't even know who's playing. Not making light of Terri's plight but come on, at this late day ignorance of the situation is no excuse. Bottom line is Terri left no written instructions so that's moot. Loving hubby whined in a malpractice suite that he would use any money awarded to help in her rehab even though he refused any and all treatment from day one through to today. Two weeks after being awarded the boat load settlement he suddenly remembered she'd told him, but not her family, she didn't want to be hooked up to machines and so began his campaign to end her life.
To: Gelato
Hmmm. Maybe they're beginning to understand that this is murder, plain and simple.

he will propose legislation this week that could save the life of a severely brain-damaged woman whose feeding tube was removed last weekHe must have gotten a call saying his poll numbers were dropping. Sometime "this week" is too late and he knows it. This is just typical political strutting.
To: Saundra Duffy
What's the source for this?

Great synopsis. There are the facts that people ignore right along with the fact that people forget she hasn't made progress not for lack of trying, but because her husband made the decision over her care and told everyone not to treat her even for colds/infections.

Lacking any credibility along with incredible motive to make her die.

Randall Terry confirmed that he believed this was happening tonight. He was not, however very happy that his numbers were on a message board and asked that they be removed.
