Tom Lee says he wants to be fair to Michael Schiavo and the right-to-die crowd .. he also wants to be fair to Terri.. wonder what that means.
It means that he wants to be all things to all people, which means he'll be nothing to anyone (or come down on Michael's side). He wants to straddle the fence between 2 diametric opposites, and come out looking good. He wants to be a moderate.
UPDATE:
I called Senator Lee's office at the 800 number. Apparently it is the district office that it connects you to. I asked again if I could find out what Mr. Lee's position was on SB 2128 as I left a message yesterday trying to find out and was promised a phone call back. The young woman who answered the phone (Becky?) recognized my voice said she wasn't able to find out yet. I said that he had said in the news that he wanted to be fair to Michael Schiavo and Terri at the same time etc. basically wondering how that was possible. She said she didn't know as he was in Tallahassee. I asked if I should call the Tallahassee office. She said I could. Anyways I told her that I would still like a call back. I relayed that this bill isn't just for Terri but for all disabled and vulnerable people in the state and that it will protect them from being taken advantage of by people like Michael Schiavo, etc. I then cut to the chase and asked her if they aware that there were crimes being committed in the case of Terri. She admitted that they are receiving a lot of information in regards to crimes and that they are compiling all of it together. (I guess they are trying to make one big picture of what is really going on.) Let's hope. I thanked her for her time. PLEASE CALL THE SEPARATE SENATORS AND HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES AND REPORT BACK TO THE LIST WHO IS IN SUPPORT AND WHO IGNORANTLY OPPOSES .. PLEASE INFORM THEM THAT THERE ARE CRIMES HAPPENING AND THEY NEED TO WAKE UP TO THAT FACT AND STOP CRIMES AGAINST THE VULNERABLE AND DISABLED OF OUR STATE BY SUPPORTING HB701 IN THE HOUSE AND SB 2128 IN THE SENATE. REPORT BACK TO THE LIST.
