Holy cow! Welcome back! When did you sneak back in here? ;0)

Good to see ya, Askel...

Wouldn't it be too late by the time the Senate passes it and people act (cause they have 15 days to do so)? Wouldn't she would already suffer unrepairable damage?

I pray this is not the case.

[Lovergirl]

I know. I don't get it. What did we accomplish?

[Silver25]

Will someone please tell me where the media is on this story. Why do you have to be from California to have extensive coverage on any given story. I cannot understand why there is no Prime Time coverage on this. Can someone please explain.

Thank you for that wonderful link!! I just sent the following email:

Dear Senator

I do not live in your state, but I want to let you know how much Terri has come to mean for so many people.

Terri has brain damage. She is not comotose, or PVS. She smiles at her mother, she tries to speak, she has fears.

Terri has also not had food or water since Wednesday.

Terri's husband is not looking out for her best interest. She does not have a living will or Durable Power of Attorney. Michael Schiavo never mentioned that Terri would want to die until after he had won a large cash award for her rehabilitation. Not one dollar of that award was spent to rehabilitate her.

He wouldn't allow the nurses to brush her teeth. He didn't allow anything that may draw a response from her. She has been refused the right to go out in the sunshine.

Michael is engaged to be married to the mother of his daughter, and his fiance is pregnant with another child of his. This shows me that he has a conflict of interest in this issue.

Please consider passing Terri's Bill. Terri has a right to live! Her parents have a desire to take care of her. Please help them have that right.

As one of the House Representatives said: His son in law may not always be married to his daughter, but he and his wife would always be her parents.

I will be praying for God to lead you in your decision.

Thank you,

They vote tomarrow to stop the killing. Then, there's 15 days to try something, anything, to save her. She's not brain dead, she's disabled.

*does happy dance*

This is great news...

[Pan_Yans Wife]

BUMP!

[WackySam]

Well said. Lets pray that Terri can hold on a little longer.

[trussell]

When they get a page that shows the votes, would you mind putting together one of your links for the yes' and one for the no's? Would like to utilize it to send "thanks" and "no thanks". If you do, please ping me.

Blessings,
trussell

"If the senate passes the bill and Jeb signs it, and the tube is reinstated, the 15 days won't mean a thing. No one will dare to enforce pulling it out again."

I think you are right about this...HOWEVER, Terri still has to make it for twelve or eighteen more hours. Freerps, keep those prayers coming. Terri is doped up with morphine, which hastens death, and has had no hydration or nutrition since Wednesday. Her state is very precarious.

O Jesus, carry her on your shoulders until the tube is put back in.

[trussell]

I heard that Michael was refusing her any relief. No meds, nothing.

[Askel5]

When did you sneak back in here

someone told me my account was active. seemed the right time to take advantage of that situation for however long it lasts. =)

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Everyone talks about you... but, they only say NICE things.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

PING!

[Chad Fairbanks]

Well, we may not have always seen eye-to-eye, but it's good to see ya back... :0)
