Thank you - Mr. President. I rise for a point of personal privilege.
Tuesday morning - of this week, we began our Senate session with a message delivered by the Chaplain of the Day. His text was taken from Matthew 14 about King Herod and how the authority of that day had lost their conscience to the point of calling for the head of John the Baptist on a platter.
I believe the element that called for the head of John the Baptist was the same element that crucified Jesus Christ.
It is also the same element that is taking the life of Terri Schiavo.
As the authorities said it was legal in the day of John the Baptist and legal in the day of Jesus Christ, authorities today say it is legal to starve a living, breathing women to death in Florida.
The whole world is watching America commit the murder on national TV of a young woman who was never offered the first moment of rehabilitation by her husband who clearly abandoned her 12 years ago.
Is not our authority today calling for the head of Terri Schiavo?
Would the authorities in Herod’s Day call for the head of Barabbas? Of course not.
Would the authorities today call for the starvation of a person on death row? Certainly not.
What is being done to Terri Schiavo would never be done to an animal.
She has been without food and water since last Friday afternoon. Could She die on Good Friday?
I urge you, however you can, to speak up for the life of Terri Schiavo.
Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence about the right to life. He said: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
According to the Declaration of Independence, the right to life is a Divine right.
Will you join me in a moment of silent prayer for Terri, the Schindler family, and for our Nation."
Thank you,

So if you have a "living will," they kill you and if you don't have a "living will," they kill you.
Thank you for posting the letter from the Vietnam Vet. Crying again. I will never forget what they did to Terri. NEVER FORGET!!!!! I will never be the same.
When's the last time you've seen the ENTIRE LEFT WING
come together to gang up on one single person on the right?
We saw it happen to President George W. Bush during the last
election. If there was a vile name the Left could call him, they used it. If there was a despicable act they could perform
against him, they did it. If there was a lie they could make
up about him, they all agreed to say it, over and over again.
Oh, and most of them were paid to do it by radical left-wing
billionaire George Soros. Remember him?
And every time the Left lied about President Bush, or took
some action against him, or called him every nasty name in
the book... the mainstream media made sure to print it, publish
it, air it, and show it. The press played the part of "lapdog"
to the radical leftists every chance they got, with the goal
of bringing down the top conservative leader. And if they had
the opportunity, they'd do it to someone else, too.
Well, they've found that "someone else." His name is Tom DeLay,
the GOP House Majority Leader -- probably the leading
conservative statesman in America today, and a man who actually
GETS RESULTS on Capitol Hill. And THAT is why they're out to
get him.
Excerpt from RightMarch.com
So PLEASE call your Republican congresspeople and senators and ask them to support Tom DeLay.
Every time I wake up in the night, I am thinking about what they did to Terri.
During the killing, I thought about her suffering and withering and about her family's anguish.
Now I'm thinking about how the media gets away with spinning and lying. It's maddening.
The fact that Terri's family was deprived of the funeral they had hoped for is haunting me. The monsters wouldn't even give Terri's Mom a lock of her hair. This is bothering me. I'm funny that way, I guess.
And the injustice continues. The Florida Dept of Children and Families is incompetent and impotent when it came to protecting Terri's rights. The Governor of Florida turned his back on Terri and walked away.
If only there could be some closure.
Judicial Homicide poster. Keep up the good work. It's good to know there are others who feel as I do. Just imagine if we had no way to connect with others who share our outrage.
None of us will ever be the same. Terri has touched our hearts and changed us forever.
Someone either here or on another Web site posted that he now understands why Germans did not stop Hitler. He/she also took no action in face of the armed guards determined to make sure no one tried to give Terri water, apparently ready to shoot anyone who dared.
Albert Einstein said: "The world is a dangerous place to live not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."
Jeb Bush and others in power could have saved Terri. They chose not to. She apparently was merely a nuisance to them.
The Deadly Fruit of Complacency
Complacency
The self-satisfied's disease
While 'good men' stand aside
Great evil comes to be
"I hadn't the power to act", they say
"I really would if I could, today!"
But is it really helplessness?
Or love for status and comfort
Keeping them meekly at bay?
Inaction strengthens tyrants
And their iron bars
It's a very short trip
It's not at all far
From euthanasia
To ovens and cattle cars
EV
God bless Terri's family as they fight for justice.
I wish for that to, but remember there will be closer, if not here on earth, after we die. The people who killed Terri will face God on judgement day, and what a glorious day that will be for us all. I hope there will be justice here on earth for Terri and I keep praying there will be.
Bill Frist is a very weak willed man. Spaghetti legs!! He would make an absolutely terrible Republican Leader.
I know what TA is getting at and you are missing her point. She means that she gets "prayed up" and then goes out and PORTESTS with vigor. Sometimes, we who are Christians have supporters who are not Christians and if they see a bunch of what they consider "religious nuts" out on the streets with their religious symbols, singing hymns etc. they walk the other way and we lose support. We need to amass numbers to protest and prayer is sometimes best done in our prayer closets. Protesting is just that, protesting. God can fill our mouths with the appropriate words to speak in the public forum along with others who will join us.When you need to move the hand of Government leaders, numbers really do count. The last thing we need to do is chase folks away from us.
MSNBC has a stinking poll today that is running like their typical polls - against Conservatives.
This poll asks if Tom Delay should step down. It's 86 percent against Delay. I swear the DU and etc use spamming type software to effect these polls.
Here it is:

Is that answer from Cranford real??? If so, he's a complete basket case. A basket full of evil that is.
Jeb Bush SHOULD hide. Shame on his wimpy little butt!!
It was full of lies and I couldn't finish watching it.
President Bush did not use good judgment in picking Bill Frist, or maybe it's hard to tell if a person will be strong or not when making a selection.
We need some stronger Republicans. Where are they? Where are they?
There are a few, but we need more than a few.
Now it's 84% against DeLay, rather than 86%. Maybe my vote helped. :)
We really need to call our Republican congresspersons & U.S. senators and tell them to support Tom DeLay.
DeLay did nothing wrong. DeLay's weenie colleagues should criticize Nancy Pelosi that actually had to pay fines for wrongdoings. Dems don't want an ethics committee, because Pelosi & other Dems will go down & DeLay will be cleared.
