double LOL

[EternalVigilance]

LOL...at least the Governor will be pleased to see that he has moved up to the top of the ticket! ;-)

[EternalVigilance]

I would suggest that we make both Terri and Governor Bush honorary FReepers!

Although I would be greatly surprised if Jeb were not at least an occasional lurker...

To Jeb Bush

THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!THANK YOU!!!!!!THANK YOU!!!!!!!!THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry, I doubted you a little bit. Thanks for coming through. I'm sure the democrats will try to use this against you, but let them.

Let them run against you on them wanting to starve disabled Terri to death. This is a fundamental difference between the 2 parties.

People should know that democrats are the party of partial birth abortion and euthanasia for the disabled.

I have even come across information where the left advocates killing disabled children so that "a happier birth can be achieved" . It's scary- how cold they are.

So good for you Jeb, for standing up to them, standing up for life. And also standing up to activist judges who are trying to "rule" us from the bench. God Bless you Jeb.

Thank you Governor Bush for all your tireless efforts, your patience and most of all for your character.

Florida is blessed to have you as their Governor.

I'm very happy about my new Governor as well (we had to get rid of the old one because he didn't care about the people). Hopefully, you and Arnold can hang out at the next Governor's shindig - I know he wants to do a great job and you set a great example.

Cheers, CC :)

P.S. Thank YOU too, summer. Great work - as usual.

Dear Governor Bush,

Thank you for demonstrating the wisdom to do what was the decent thing to do in this horrible situation. You have listened to the voices of a desparate family, wonderful supporters of Terri's cause, and obviously a higher authority in saving this woman.

Governor Bush

Thanks. God Bless you.

Governor Bush:


Thank you for your actions on behalf of Terry Schiavo.

[BlessedBeGod]

Dear Governor Bush,

There are no words to thank you enough for all you did for Terri. I have to believe that Mother Teresa was looking down upon us and helping things along, both with Terri and your brother signing the partial birth abortion ban the same day :-) What great victories for Life!

Thank you so much, and God bless you and your family!

HURRAY for JEB!

Dear Governor Jeb Bush,

How can any of us who have been watching over and praying for Terri Schiavo thank you enough for what you have done to save her life? You took up the mantle of the Redeemer and saved her life from destruction by those whose motives are certainly questionable.

I understand that for the sake of expediency Terri's Bill had to be framed in such a way that it applied specifically to Terri and specifically to this time. This was wisdom. I hope for you to build upon that wisdom now that the crisis is over, so that laws are put in place to protect others in similar circumstances.

As Washington has recently passed legislation outlawing the horrid partial birth abortion practice, you, too, are participating in a brand new way in bringing about a new Culture of Life in America!

Please follow up Terri's Law with your particular influence and authority to protect the lives of many more who will be ensnared by the current Culture of Death. Many folks from my own state of Vermont have their winter homes in Florida and retire there in the autumn years of their lives. Not one of them should have to face what Terri has had to go through because of the lack of compassion of a family member in control of their medical decisions when they are unable to communicate their wishes for themselves.

No one should ever be denied food and water. The delivery system for that basic sustenance being a feeding tube should no more be considered "life support" than a spoon is.

I praise you for your excellent leadership! You have exercised great wisdom. I beseech you to keep up the good work now that it has been begun.

Most humbly and gratefully,

[Pippin]

Thank You, Gov. Bush

For honoring the sanctity of life!

[Tempest]

Good job Jeb! Good job and may God Bless you.

[AAABEST]

You know my feelings on Jeb in general, but I have to say that he very much did the right thing here.

Whether it was politics or his conscience, he did God's work by saving Terri. BIGTIME Kudos.

Thank you Governor Jeb Bush,

It was with great relief that I read of Terri's removal to a hospital and her rehydration. It is a cruel, sick world that refuses food and water to a human being; we would be arrested for such treatment to a dog or cat.

It takes great courage to move forward when all the media are against you, which you did. Your heart is in the right place; God will surely bless you abundantly. You are in my prayers.

24HaShem bless thee, and keep thee;

26 HaShem lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

Thanks to you and all those involved in passing Terri's Bill!

'How do you measure success? To laugh often and much. To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children. To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty. To find the best in others. To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a redeemed social condition, or a job well done. To know that even one other life has breathed because you lived. -- This is to have succeeded.' Ralph Waldo Emerson
