I have emailed both Wesley Smith and Bob Marshall and asked them the same question. I think Bob Marshall said we have to outlaw dehydration deaths. I called our local representatives and talked about a law to do this, and they almost laughed at me.
That's what scares me, it is entrenched now. It's really only up to God now.
Last time around I was upset and convinced it was too late that we almost left the country. I am not kidding you.
BUT, let me tell you this. I sat and watched the entire house of reps discussion in Florida online when they stood and spoke and passed Terri's law. And if that was not God in action I don't know what was. I would give a lot of money to have that video. It was the most hopeful thing I have seen in a long time.
I cried through the entire thing, and not because I was an emotional wreck at the time anyway. :-)
These grown men and women stood up and spoke passionately about God and miracles, and told personal stories that I would not have dared to share in public as they did. It was an incredible thing to witness. Some of them cried as they spoke. They were not afraid to bear their souls and to speak on behalf of life. So keep praying.
Me too. I really love the Schindlers. They are amazing people.
Thank you. I feel very guilty that I have had some appointments that have kept me away from the computer during the day. I'm trying to make up for it at night when everyone else is asleep (plus, the laundry gets done as well)! My hubby has been very understanding...the kids, too. They all know how much Terri's life means to me. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll be on top of it all.
Yes, this is so emotional. I'm trying not to dwell on it, at least not all the time, but it's difficult.

Terri phone number/e-mail/sign petition bump!
The Courts have ruled that Terri's feeding tube be removed for the THIRD time.
For any "newbees" to this thread, here are the numbers to call. Ask them to save Terri Schiavo by NOT allowing her to starve to death.
If you don't have time to call all of the numbers, please at least call one number (or e-mail). Calling is better than sending an e-mail, but please at least do something.

From a post from Floriduh Voter about A.G. Charlie Crist: FLA AG Crist's staff said to a caller "Crist it the attorney for the STATE, not for individuals." Well, THEN HE BETTER QUIT HELPING THE PARAPLEGIC WHO GOT KICKED OFF A US AIRWAYS FLIGHT. Either you are working for the people or the state and the Fla AG HAS A CIVIL RIGHTS DEPT.
Sun says: It looks like A.G. Charlie Crist is playing politics by choosing which disabled person he wants to help, & which he does not. I guess he thinks that helping a paraplegic is more popular with Florida VOTERS.
ALSO, you can:
PLEASE SIGN PETITION FOR TERRI
Without 11th-hour help Terri Schindler-Schiavo will soon be
starved to death. Husband Michael Schiavo -- thanks to yet
another outrage by an activist judge -- again has a death
sentence from the Florida courts to execute this courageous woman by removing her feeding tube.
Your quick help is needed! Please go to ConservativePetitions.com to see what is at stake not only for Terri but for all Americans.
Here's the address:
http://www.conservativepetitions.com/petitions.php?id=298
Question:
If they remove the feeding tube, can she be fed by
mouth (pudding, jello, etc.,) if she wants it?
If they do not even allow her to eat normally than she
is being executed.
"but as I recall, it was non-answer. I asked that he take her into protective custody now, then I begged.
Paraphrasing: We don't have an issue. I asked what that meant. Paraphrasing again: We don't have jurisdiction."
That is !@$#&*%? stuff and nonsense !!! If it were true then Florida's Constitution is not worth the paper on which it's printed. Here, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1345474/posts?page=169#169 , I posted relevant portions of gubernatorial duties in Florida's Constitution that any Florida governor has at least the discretionary authority to uphold.
The declaration of rights in ARTICLE I, SECTION 21, and General Provisions of ARTICLE II, SECTION 5.(a) are MANDATES. What Jeb Bush is permitting to happen on his watch is grotesque, disgusting and shameful, but wholly consistent with the globalist agenda to establish a precedent for terminating dyseconomic individuals.
Goodnight Terri! God bless you!!
I remember that night, up till 4:30 AM voting, and voting, and voting some more.
Until I could hardly open my eyes.
But it was fun!
You were great! You were a hero.
At the 5:30 ET newsbreak on FNC, Donna Fiducia or however you spell her name, said that Terri is COMATOSE. She said this while they showed Terri, well, not at her best, but certainly not appearing COMATOSE. I was so angry when I heard it. There is no excuse for saying she is in a COMA. Who on earth is writing this copy, that on every news show and headline break a different newsreader uses such LYING WORDS????? You try to straighten out some of the readers or crawls, then up pops new OUTRAGEOUS LIES!!!!!
I'm amazed and disgusted at the ignorance of so many people. I was trying once again to explain Terri's condition at work yesterday yet every last one of the adults never could get off the PVS or coma or brain dead hoopla. There is hope because the teens I taught last year still ask me about Terri and are concerned. I was discussing it with one of them yesterday after school and several came up to hear the news. Teens can be airheads about many things, but they are not closed minded and cold hearted as adults apparently are.
I can see you're a newbie to this case. I'll try to explain the feeding in a nutshell. Last time hino (@#%&@#$_*^@# aka Michael aka husband in name only) pulled her feeding tube the priest came to give her Last Rites. Hino came unglued and threatened to sue and arrest the priest. Why, you ask since Terri is Catholic? Because, if Terri should swallow the host or wine it would prove she could indeed take food by mouth and blow his case out of the water. BTW, in the beginning she was taking food by mouth, but hino couldn't be bothered with such tasks and had the feeding tube inserted. Furthermore, if it was proven she could take food by mouth, then it might lead to him having to provide rehabilitation which in turn might lead to her being able to tell the truth about what really happened that fateful night 10 years ago and he might find himself behind bars. Did you know that her full body scan shows severe trauma and that a couple doctors have stated she'd been worked over? No, this is hino's last chance at killing her and immediately cremating her so any witness to that night is gone and he's off scot free.
Your stories are just horrible. We need to form some sort of grass roots organization to stop these atrocities after we help Terri.
That's a great idea about sending the best videos of Terri to the media.
"Teens can be airheads about many things, but they are not closed minded and cold hearted as adults apparently are."
I am so glad you posted this. Good to know that the youth of this country are not as jaded as the adults.
MarMema, you had a web page with all the victims stories on it. I kept your web page in my favorites to show people what was happening. Most people don't or won't believe this is happening to the helpless.
One day I tried to bring up your web page and it was gone. What happened to it?
