Jeb Bush or George Bush needs to put Terri in protective custody, and they CAN do it.
Here's what I sent (and am sending to the President address Sun just gave).
Dear Governor Bush,
I haven’t lived in Florida since I was a kid. But I can’t believe what’s going on there regarding Terri.
I know that I don’t have all the information regarding the case, but that doesn’t keep me from having an opinion based on trying to listen to both sides of the situation.
Basically, I can’t believe that a “husband” who abandoned his wife for another woman and children with her (something to do with the ‘through sickness and health, ‘til death do us part’), is erroneously considered her legal guardian, when there is a loving family (not to mention millions of Americans), who actually has her best interests (as well as her life) in mind.
Please do the right thing and put her feeding tube back while the debates are going on.
It’s not going to hurt anyone for her to have a few extra months for allegations to be looked into, but she can’t live that long without food and water. Also, I can’t understand the restrictions on her family that won’t allow them to give her moisture. That seems unconscionable. Animals and convicts are treated better than that.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter (time is something Terri does not have).
When I emailed the President, I asked him why were the people in Iraq were having elections. Apparently going to the polls is a waste of time if the judges run this country.
A spark of hope. I could not get through to Governor Jeb Bush's #, so I called 1-850-488-5000 (Governor's Legislative Affairs Office) and said that Governor Bush has to put Terri in protective custody NOW. They said they agreed with me, and are working on it. I told them they better hurry up; this woman is going to die.
Please call the # (1-850-488-5000), AND Governor Jeb Bush, if you can get through, or send a FAX, and tell them to please expedite, a woman is dying. Pro-death Judge Greer ordered police throughout the state not to intervene. Bully!!
We have THREE judicial branches, and they are all equal; they should not let only ONE branch rule.
Here's an e-mail I justed received from RightMarch.com, and if anyone has a fax, that might be an easier way to get through to the Bushes. Fax # listed below. If you can't get through by phone, a fax is better than and e-mail, because papers will pile up.
So here's my info from RightMarch.com:
"This is OUTRAGEOUS. Governor Bush needs to step up to
the plate NOW, and exercise his constitutional and legal
authority NOW, before Terri dies. But he doesn't seem
to be willing to take that chance and do it... so we
thought we should help encourage him.
So once more, we need YOUR help.
We need EVERYONE READING THIS EMAIL to call Governor
Jeb Bush RIGHT AWAY, and ask him to do one simple thing:
"PLEASE EXERCISE YOUR LEGAL AUTHORITY, AND TAKE
TERRI SCHIAVO INTO PROTECTIVE CUSTODY RIGHT AWAY."
That's all we're asking you to do. Just call Gov. Bush
NOW and beg him to save Terri's life.
TAKE ACTION: PLEASE call Governor Jeb Bush's office NOW
at 850-488-4441 (or fax him at 850-487-0801), asking him
to exercise the executive powers he ALREADY HAS, and take
custody of Terri Schiavo to save her from being starved
to death.
We've already met one-on-one with Gov. Bush's General Counsel
lawyers, showing them point-by-point exactly why the Governor
DOES have those powers right NOW. On Thursday, we're also
bringing in Alan Keyes and Larry Klayman to try to meet with
the Governor and urge him to take Terri into protective
custody. Call Gov. Bush NOW and ask him to USE his legal
powers to save Terri's life. You can also e-mail him at
jeb@myflorida.com .
You can also call his brother, President George W. Bush, at
202-456-1414 (or fax him at 202-456-2461). Leave a message
for him that he AND his brother both have the authority to
use the police services at their disposal to take Terri into
protective custody, restore her food and hydration, and
arrest anyone who would interfere. You can also e-mail him
at president@whitehouse.gov .
For the sake of Terri's life, we CANNOT afford to wait while
the courts bicker over jurisdiction -- and we CANNOT let
little two-bit judges order the Executive branch to not do
their duty."
