FLORIDA HOUSE PASSES BILL ON TERRI'S SHIAVO'S BEHALF

Florida House of Representatives ^ | Oct. 20, 2003 | Varina Davis

[varina davis]

Just now on live thread from the Florida House of Representatives: passes, 68 to 23, bill to give Gov. Jeb Bush authorization to issue a stay in the case of Terri Shiavo.

Very good to see you, Askel5.

Your devotion to the pro-life cause has always been an inspiration.

Awesome to see what can happen when our folks begin to pray and to act in unison, isn't it?

[Warren_Piece]

My final prayer before I retire tonight; I pray that the Lord has sent an Angel in the form of a nurse's aide who has slipped terry a few drops of water into her mouth as she bathed her (If that jerk allowed her to be bathed). My wife is a CNT, and I know she'd do it. Hopefully it would have been just enough till the bill passes the Senate, and Terri will survive without too much internal damage. All through history, God has provided these angels who had mercy and refused to completely follow evil orders; in POW camps, prisons, concentration camps. Please, lord let us pray there was another Schindler's list!

[I still care]

I have to be in GA all week and it infuriates me that I can't be there to be in the vigil for Terri - my senator is Mike Fasano and he is a solid conservative. Let's be sure and email the senate!

[Hildy]

Thank you. But you're the one who deserves the hug.

[Lovergirl]

ohh..that's very good news. Now I hope the Senate comes thru and I hope it's not too late for Terri.

[StayoutdaBushesWay]

This is great news!! We'll continue with our non-stop prayers.

[TheBigB]

Good! Goodgoodgood! Now the Senate needs to do the right thing ASAP and pass this!

[lara]

Exactly what I was thinking. That's nice they get a good night's sleep, wake up and have a good meal, while she's starving to death. Literally.

[JulieRNR21]

The RATette was bemoaning the fact that the thousands of email, faxes and phone calls were causing the reps to make a political decision instead of doing "what's right". She doesn't like the vox populi at all, no way, Jose.

Yep ...she (Butcher???)was definitely one of the anti-life Dems....BTW her email is posted on the FL board. I think her name is Bucher or Butcher....sure fits her attitude!

[sfRummygirl]

Oh, you're making me cry!
I'm so glad you really care about her. Bless your little heart. That's all I wanted people to do....
I have to get off now...

[Gelato]

This is good, I definitely will e-mail the ones who voted yes. Some of them really did seem sincere.

Good idea!

In case it's ambiguous, let me clarify who stood where:

Rep. Davis: FOR
Rep. Wishner: against
Rep. Kilmer: FOR
Rep. Richardson: against
Rep. Brown: FOR
Rep. Homon: FOR
Rep. Fiorentino: FOR
Rep. Wiles: against

Rep. Attkisson: FOR
Rep. Bucher: against
Rep. Allen: FOR
Rep. Ambler: FOR

You are one high class lady :-)

[TaxRelief]

The Senate will agree and Terri will make it. Have faith.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Praying....Praying very intensely....

[Askel5]

Don't know why I suddenly have the ability to post but think the timing for a return (however brief) was serendipitous.

It's been extraordinarily gratifying to see so many among the rank and file at FR rally for the Good Fight. Lots of new names among the Usual Suspects.

Makes the continued presence of the louts who lollygag on these threads to crack jokes and needle posters a most bearable price of admission.

[EternalVigilance]

You're amazing.

Thank you.

[John Beresford Tipton]

She has to be rehydrated *SLOWLY*.

"Don't forget to thank Gov. Jeb Bush. I believe he's been engineering this historic moment for some time, trying to do it in a way to make it unimpeachable"

Yes, kudos to Jeb for sure; and kudos to all those who have rattled this cage for so long so that Reason and decency and just basic, common morality would prevail for the good of Terri Shiavo.
