Hello FR,
Yes, there has been GREAT NEWS TODAY ABOUT TERRI! Surely goodness and mercy WILL follow her all the days of her life...
I hope the Lead Moderator allows this Very Special "THANK YOU" thread (that I intend to email to Gov Bush) to stay in the sidebar, so all of you will see it and post on it.
But first, following all the recent (and totally unwarranted) Jeb-bashing on this forum, some people (especially new people) may desperately need this review and mini-lesson about Gov Bush:
(1) For those of you who doubted Gov Bush's DESIRE to HELP in this matter, SHAME ON YOU! Here is the full text of the letter Gov Bush wrote early on to Judge Greer, for those of you who missed it:
From JEB to FR: Full text of Gov Bush's letter to Judge Greer re: Terri Schiavo
(2) For those of you who did not know that Gov Bush has been, and continues to be, "FL's Favorite Governor", for MANY GOOD REASONS, check out these two articles about the guy FL is proud to call its Favorite Gov:
Jeb quietly goes to the rescue of a 2-year-old
Golf Links Bush, Boy [Jeb shares his views, and golf, with autistic teen]
(3) For those of you who are new, and shocked that the governor of the 4th largest state is ALWAYS interested in listening to the people he serves, check out these two articles:
Governor hears Polk County citizens' woes, both strange and sad [Jeb listens..whoa! What an earful!]
World Wide Jeb
(4) Finally, for those handful of posters who actually DOUBTED the JEB-emails I posted on two threads were NOT from him - well, you have missed half a dozen such threads over the years, and believe me, ALL those emails are from him.
And, I am not the only person he has written to over the years. In fact, as I recall, a number of those other people who've heard from him over the years posted here, on this thread I started less than 1 day after Election Day 2002, when Gov Bush was re-elected in a landslide (and made history as FL's first GOP gov to win a 2nd term):
HEY! Q: Guess who took the time to write a special thank-you note to FR posters? A: JEB BUSH!
OK, mini-lesson over!
Now -- if you have something NICE and POSITIVE to say to FL's Favorite Governor (such as: "THANK YOU"), then please do reply on this thread. My own thank you to Gov Bush is posted in my reply #1 below.
Have a BEAUTIFUL DAY!

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.

Thank you for your actions on behalf of Terry Schiavo.
To: summer
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!

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,

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.

'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
