Honestly,
I think there is a whole heck of a lot of running around the bush going on right now.. (no pun inteneded really)

Every office I Called told me how sympathetic they were to the situation, how sorry they were for Terris cause, and how if they could change the law they would, but there hands are tied.

I was mostly amused tho, by Mr Byrds office, telling me that " Sessions will be going on all week, so just because it wasnt mentioned today, doesnt mean it wont be mentioned"...

Senator Kings office was very friendly and very willing to talk to me in length regarding the supposed bill. According to them, there is no such bill because it would not be constitutional, and it would not be retroactive, so it wouldnt effect Terri anyways.

Heres my take on what happend... Mr. Byrd, in passing made a comment to someone of how he would support such a bill if it were to be presented, and someone clung to that hope. I dont blame anyone for doing that, but according to his office, he never said he was going to present such a bill, just that he would support such a bill.

This is truly a sad sad situation. I encourage you all to call these offices and ask the same question I did.. a very simple question... "what can you tell me about Terris Bill"

But don't you realize that's how the game it played. They're politicians, ya know. They make like they are so concerned with your problem so you'll vote for them. In reality they're only concern is their own ego. The more votes they garner, the bigger the ego boost. Nothing more, nothing less. They're all Bubba and Shrillary, just in different clothes.
