PINELLAS PARK, Fla. — Diane Meyer can recall only one time her best friend Terri Schiavo really was angry with her. It was 1981, and it haunts her still.
The recent high-school graduates had seen a television movie about Karen Ann Quinlan, who had been in a coma since collapsing six years earlier and was the subject of a bitter court battle over her parents' decision to take her off a respirator. Meyer told a cruel joke about Quinlan, and it set Schiavo off.
"She went down my throat about this joke, that it was inappropriate," Meyer said. She remembers Terri wondering how the doctors and lawyers possibly could know what Quinlan was feeling or what she would want.
"Where there's life," Meyer recalls Schiavo saying, "there's hope."

It's important that we let our legislatures know TODAY that we are expecting them to get their act together and work out their differences between the House and the Senate and pass into Law immediately the Bill that will not only save Terri but will also stop this horrendous tide of euthanasia that is going to sweep our country if they don't stop their partisan monkeying around and bowing to this arrogant Judge Greer and all his cronies.
Use this link to contact your Senators and Representatives; it's VERY easy to do:

And once you send it to them, use the form to send that page too everyone you can think of that will also contact their legislatures.
THEN write to President Bush at president@whitehouse.gov and urge him to call an emergency session of Congress this weekend to get this Bill voted on and passed into Law.
And MOST OF ALL, let's pray fervently like we've never prayed before.
There's way too much at stake here to sit on our hands and just let this all happen.
