No this is wrong. HE DOES want it to be voted on as we learned. I will try and find the information.

The Florida House scheduled a Monday night session to take up the issue. In the Senate, President Jim King said he will propose legislation that would give Gov. Jeb Bush the authority to order the feeding tube be reinserted to keep Terri Schiavo alive.

The tube was removed Wednesday following a decade-long court battle between Schiavo's parents and their son-in-law, who contends that he is carrying out her wishes not to be kept alive artificially.

"If we are to err - because time is of the essence - for goodness sake let us err on the side of caution," said King, a Republican.

To the best of my knowledge, King originally had reservations, but decided to err on the side of keeping Terri alive. It is not helping our cause to continue to bash him (I'm not accusing you of doing so).

I saw posted on one of the Terri threads yesterday evening that he had changed his tune. Might have something to do with all the calls and emails. Keep up the good work!
