Where are you? We need you here.
I called up Representative Dave Weldon to thank him for introducing the bill. Real nice lady answered the phone.
I asked for the status. She said that it was in the Committee headed by Rep. Sensenbrenner http://www.house.gov/sensenbrenner/contact.htm
2449 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515-4905
Telephone: (202) 225-5101
I called the number above. The gentleman said that it was introduced yesterday and that it has not made it out of the committee yet. I asked him which committee and he didn't know. It didn't sound like it was scheduled to be introduced to the full House anytime soon.
Sounds like we need to find out which committee and call all the members on it.
They're dragging their FEET? Damn them! Let's start calling!
Post #3538 bump!
The bill goes to the Judiciary committee. I don't see it on the schedule yet.
The first link has all the members on the committee:

This one gives the schedule:

Maybe we can speed them up with enough phone calls.

I'm just getting fed up with idiotic statements so I sent this email to the writer:
"Life support? Did YOU have life support this morning? Normal people call it breakfast."

Bump!
Not sure this has been linked here yet so here goes. The Vatican has stepped in again:
The Vatican Steps In (Terri Schiavo Alert!)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1359157/posts
In an unusual foray into American politics and law, a highly placed Vatican cardinal issued a second statement in two weeks in defense of the life of Terri Schiavo, saying "How can anyone who claims to speak of the promotion and protection of human rightsof human liferemain silent?"

Just called Senator Martinez' office. The bill number
"S 539 PCS" was introduced, but hasn't been assigned to a committee yet.
Incapacitated Persons Legal Protection Act of 2005 -- Placed on Calendar in Senate
I haven't found out where on the calendar it is.
Refresh Terri's dear family this day, Merciful Father ... may they drink from the wellspring of Your love ... may they be nourished by Manna from Heaven ... may they be strengthened unto the time when their dear child is safely in their care. May it be thus, O Lord, may it be thus, in the Name of Jesus, Amen ...
Florida Freepers and those coming in from out of state, let's somehow try to find a way to go to the rally together...this out of towner would find it comforting to go with others of a like mind...solidarity and all that.
Linking this here in case it hasn't been seen yet, transcript from this segment on Medved's show the other day:
Alan Keyes on Michael Medved for Terri Schiavo

KEYES: I believe that's right, yes. The judge made a decision. He issued a three week stay, I think, that then at the end of that period, at the expiration of that period, it could be done. And I have said for the longest time that what I don't understand about this--leave aside the particulars of the case for a moment--you have a situation in Florida where both the governor and the state legislature believe that this is a travesty, that it violates the basic constitutional right to life of Terri Schiavo, and that it should not go forward. And yet, the decision of the judge is being treated as if it is the final word on this fundamental issue of constitutional right. And that, of course, is not true.
It is one of those areas where judicial tyranny is now focusing in particular--you know, they have done it in religious rulings and other things in a general way, now they are focusing in particular so that a judge could actually move forward so as to accomplish judicial murder. And we actually believe that the chief executive, for instance, in Florida has no responsibility or right to intervene to stop this from taking place? That's an entire misunderstanding of our system of government that deeply worries me.
