Michael Schiavo called Florida Senate President Tom Lee regarding the new bill that was introduced today (Starvation and Dehydration of People with Disabilities Prevention Act). Michael Schiavo and his attorney George Felos do not want the new Florida bill HB 701 to pass. Felos is extremely fightened about this bill becoming law. Michael and Felos are afraid of the new bills that may help save Terri.
Please continue your calls to Senator Tom Lee and your representatives. Today, Dr. James Dobson urged all people to call the Florida legislature to help save Terri's life.

(Excerpts)
"I got a phone call today from Mr. Schiavo," Senate President Tom Lee said. "We're going to try to be fair to him and fair to Terri and all the people who have feelings about end-of-life issues."
Several lawmakers told Action News they suspected the new law may be just as unconstitutional as the original Terri's law, but some planed to press ahead with it anyway.
A similar effort may be gaining steam in the U.S. Congress. Two congressional lawmakers introduced legislation Tuesday that could be pivotal in the case.
yep, it sounds like it has HINO and Felos worried.
I wonder if Schiavo is still working as an ER nurse. Did he take today off, or did he just make the call while on break at the Morton Plant Hospital? Or has he switched hospitals? Surely, he is not concerned about this potential legislation, knowing that his "Republican" friend George W. Greer will ignore any new law if permitted.

SENATE PRESIDENT TOM LEE SAID:

MY thoughts on this: These people use Double Speak. LQQK at what Tom Lee said at the end of sentence.
*** END-OF-LIFE ISSUES *** Perhaps, I'm a dummy, but IS that not the very same WORDING that the infamous Hemlock Society uses??? I hate to be negative, but I'm sick of the games they play.
How can Tom Lee possibly be * Fair to Terri's Family * when he is USING HEMLOCK speak in the same sentence. Hopefully I'm just a nut and he will in fact, be fair.
Oh for God's sake. Be fair to Michael Schiavo??? Give me a break. Mr. Lee needs a fast education. So far he hasn't appeared to be interested in getting educated. How DARE Schiavo make out like he's some kind of hero or victim????
