Bumping to anyone wishing to leave a "Thank You" to Governor Bush!

MEEKIE!

Then why did you post that pic of him in the birthday hat?

BTW, Summer, When is his birthday?

[A CA Guy]

Good work Gov. Bush.

The big question is why doesn't this guy who wants to end his wife's life just divorce and get out of this?

#1 He already has left her in life having another woman, child and yet another one on the way. His motivation is what then?

#2 Her parents want to be guardians and care for her which would leave him to continue his life if he divorces?

I see this as totally being for the money. If he divorces, the parents and not he will get a massive chunk of any TV, Book, Appearance or Movie monies.
I see this guy killing off the wife and then hitting the circuit and networks for the bucks. Probably 2 million or more is available for such a story.

So this makes the husband motivated to see her die for two reasons... Over money and another woman with his children.

Seems conditions should merit an annulment if need be under law and award the parents guardianship.

Actions speak louder than words...nice job.

Then why did you post that pic of him in the birthday hat?

THANK YOU SUMMER (for all your efforts)

Dear Governor Bush,

I'll admit I was nervous for a while. I wasn't sure if you were going to pull this off. You did, and I must say sir, I am impressed. Thank you. This action is important on so many levels. You did very well. Please keep up the good fight. You have proven yourself to be a true leader.

Would like you to move to California? Sunshine without the humidity? We'll have a job opening in about three years for which you are well qualified ;-)

Sincerely,
Debbie in California

P.S. Any man who can wear that birthday hat has a strong sense of self.

Dear Govenor Bush,

Although I was one of the people here who publicly lost a bit of faith in you earlier this week and advocated putting some political pressure on you ,I want you to know how much I apprecite your efforts. I stand before you humbled that I lost faith for while, I can only say it is human nature.

As I tuck my children in at night, for the first time in over a week, I feel much more secure in the fact that our elected representatives did hear our cries and acted upon our deepest wishes, to see a woman saved from an unjust death sentance. Furhter to stand up for our most vunerable citizens and protect their rights to the fullest.

. I know the days ahead will be difficult, and you will face much political re-hashing of what unfolded. I pray that God will give you the strength to fight, and the security in your heart of knowing that what you did was right and just for Florida ,and for America.

Please be well Govenor Bush, I will look for ways to support you in the future.

Thank you Governor Bush and Florida Legistator for intervening and giving Terri a chance to live and have rehab she along with other fine Americans deserve. I was proud to be called a Floridian and an American again yesterday......More work needs to be done to take our fine state and country out of the hands of the courts and back to the people..Thank you again from bottom of heart

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Thanks Governor Jeb Bush! We need to get Terri appointed a real guardian now, as you requested. You know, someone who is truly looking out for Terri's best interests. Help us keep the faith and keep up the fight! God Bless you & yours...

[Donna Lee Nardo]

And a big thank you and hug to those Florida state lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who voted in favor of Terri's bill. The same for all you wonderful Freepers who lit the fire for heavy grassroots action. The fight is not over, so hang on....

[mtbopfuyn]

Thank you, JEB and Florida's congress.

Dear Governor Bush:

I can attest that you do answer emails from Floridians as I have received some myself.

In their anguish and anxiety over the horror of the court ordered death by starvation and dehydration of Terri Schlinder-Shiavo, a few posters expressed doubts that you would ever act.

Knowing that you have demonstrated a deep Respect for life and compassion towards the vulnerable and disabled; I believed that you would eventually find a legal way to save the life of Terri Schlinder-Schiavo.

I was a strong supporter and worked as a volunteer for your reelection in 2002. I am so proud that you are my Governor. You have my pledge to work as a volunteer should ever seek the office of Senator or President.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your actions this week in saving an innocent disabled woman from a cruel and horrible death.

May God Bless you and your family.

Julie in Sarasota

Thank you so much Governor Bush!!!

And I'll agree with the sentiment expressed by many: you can count on my vote if you ever run for President.
