Terri ping to 5714! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!
It's not too late to write a letter to the editor to expel the myths about Terri and if you are in Florida, ask readers to contact their reps to support 701.
If you are NOT from Florida, (or if you are) you can asked readers to contact their U.S. Senators and reps, and give the following info:
Representative Dave Weldon (R-FL) and Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) have just introduced the "Incapacitated Persons Legal Protection Act" (H.R. 1151, S. 539). If passed into law, this bill would make an immediate impact toward protecting the lives of people like Terri Schiavo, insuring that a disabled person's constitutional rights are not trampled, simply because that person is unable to speak for him- or herself.
With time running out for Terri, we must take immediate action to create a groundswell of support for this legislation.
Action Item #1--Contact Your New York Senators! Please call your U.S. senators and urge them to stand for those who cannot speak for themselves by co-sponsoring the "Incapacitated Persons Legal Protection Act" (S. 539).
+ + Action Item #2-- Contact Your Representative Today! After contacting each of your senators, take a few extra moments to contact your New York representative, urging him or her to give full and immediate support to the "Incapacitated Persons Legal Protection Act" (H.R. 1151). Make certain that your representative understands this bill will benefit those citizens who simply cannot fight for themselves. If you don't know who your New York representative is, call the Capitol Switchboard, and they will connect you quickly. Here is the number: 202-224-3121
I can't find your postcard post.
