Please see #60. Bobby Schindler invited all GOP candidates by letter and I invited Fred Thompson via Florida staffers to meet with Bobby Schindler. If Fred would do that, Terri supporters may give him a closer look. He flip flopped on Terri and Bobby wants to talk to Fred about disability rights. If you know anyone who can urge Fred to contact Bobby (his birthday today), they just need to visit www.terrisfight.org

Mitt Romney so far is the only GOP candidate to meet with Terri's brother. Why won't Fred? I appreciate if you can find out. If you can do this for us and get a response from Camp Thompson, please freepmail me.

There are millions of Terri supporters out there who are for disability rights.

Media silence may be good. It may mean the family is reconsidering in Javona's favor. Besides, I talked to a disability advocate yesterday.

EVEN UNDER THE NOW DECEASED, CREEPY DR. CRANFORD'S STANDARDS, a diagnosis of PVS until many months or a year has passed is PREMATURE.

ARE ANY LAWS RE: PVS GUIDELINES BEING VIOLATED? This could throw the euthansiasts and mom under the bus if it is waaaay too soon to write Javona off.

Googling Dr. Cranford, googling Dr. Cranford. (watch for the disability groups to step up their involvement. They are NOT the religious right. They are a separate entity re: disability rights.

The MSM likes to paint these matters as battles between religious zealotry and science. WRONG!

We must not forget the disabled community and their powerful coalition.

Very good point. The WORST thing that can happen is for George Felos or a similar vulture to get in contact with Javona's family and convince them that she needs to be murdered to further the culture of death's agenda.

She is such a beautiful young lady, and they don’t even want to give her a chance.

Ambien is reviving pvs and coma patients. It’s also helping autistic people.

People seeing patients lying there sometimes want the patient gone to stop their anxiety, not the patient's. It sounds like mom doesn't have peace and thinks ending her daughter's life suddenly will bring mom peace. It won't. Her anxiety about hospital beds and tubes will just turn into overwhelming guilt.

Let us not destroy lives because life is uncomfortable or not normal enough for us to handle.

Mom needs to pray and talk to her daughter because Jovana may very well hear her.

“Media silence may be good. It may mean the family is reconsidering in Javona’s favor. Besides, I talked to a disability advocate yesterday.”

That sounds encouraging.

Let’s all pray.

Marine John Graziano can open his eyes. He’s a patient at Haley Med Ctr in Tampa. (his parent’s atty is bushnail. that’s a scary proposition).

Fox Sports Update: Did the Bus lose? Yes. Bye, bye, Bucs. Giants 24 to 14.

Keep George Felos out of my state (NY).

“Peters’ parents are disagreeing on whether or not to remove her feeding tube and take her life.”

Nourishment (feeding tube) is ordinary means; not extraordinary means.

I agree that the mom will probably feel guilty if she does not allow her daughter’s nourishment to continue.

[floriduh voter]

Without nutrition or hydration, who among us would stay healthy?

[Sun]

“Without nutrition or hydration, who among us would stay healthy?”

Good point.

[Sun]

I wonder if there’s anyting we can do at this point in time.

Of course, prayer. I just asked my husband to pray, too.

I say we sit tight until the leading disability coalitions start to speak out. There are over 30 disability organizations and until we hear from them regarding Jovana, we can go here and see if they have issued any statements:

www.notdeadyet.com or .org (I can't remember dot what).

[Sun]

“www.notdeadyet. “

Great organization!

I was emailed Obama's church's web site. People should read it over before they hit election day.

A guardian needs to act in the best interests of the child and NO child’s best interest include being killed.

Glenn Beck just had a horrific hospital experience. Glenn has lots of listeners/watchers here at FR. This is just a summary. He's been through hell for over two weeks now. He's not been on vacation.
