Press Release

Special Session Called in State Legislature

Speaker of the House, Johnnie Byrd to introduce “Terri’s Bill”

Clearwater, FL October 19, 2003: The Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, has called a special session of the Florida Legislature for Monday, October 20, 2003. At that time, Florida’s Speaker of the House will introduce “Terri’s Bill”. By Florida law, two thirds majority vote are required to have a topic entered.

Volunteers with the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation have learned that Senate President, Jim King is against this bill.

The Bill would put an immediate moratorium on all dehydration and starvation deaths currently pending in Florida.

We have come to a time when the merchants of death have created a constitutional crisis and a justice gridlock, while the rightful life of Florida’s disabled and vulnerable citizens tragically hang on Terri Schindler-Schiavo’s court ordered dehydration and starvation death.

We urge all concerned Floridians to contact their Senators and State House members to vote for Terri’s bill.

Time is short.

Well, now I know why my thread was pulled with no explanation.........we must have posted simultaneously.....honestly I think the admins are sick of the se threads........


It was on www.wtlv.com 11 p.m. news but not on the website yet......saw and heard it myself.....

[MarMema]

thanks!

I guess we can all send emails and make calls too, but it seems like here at least, the residents make the difference when they call.

[MarMema]

No they pulled yours because it was not verified yet...
I think they have not seen this one...

[netmilsmom]

Present and starting e-mails, continuing prayers!

[tutstar]

I'm almost as disgusted with posting here sometimes as I have been with Gov Bush....baseball stays in breaking news, but not someone who is being starved to death.

I will send regards to Shiloh as they were the compiler. I also saw that after I posted that WackySam had posted some links with purely e-mail addresses which they should be commended for. If you are from Florida you might want to consider actually calling the representatives of your particular district.

Regards.

[tutstar]

TY , going now......

[mickie]

I am breathless..........

Dear God, let there be good news about saving Terri, we fervently pray.

[LadyPilgrim]

Quite alright, Marmema. Good work!
I am so thankful for the love shown on this board!
God Bless all of you for coming to the aid of the innocents in our country.

Ex. 23:7 says............do not kill the innocent or the righteous, for I will not acquit the guilty.

Prov. 6:17 says the Lord hates hands that shed innocent blood.

Father, We ask You in Jesus Name to give Terri favor,
in the sight of those that will tend to this Bill tomorrow!
Thank-you for your Word and the comfort it brings to us!
Impress upon those that have to make decisions tomorow to be led to the right decision.

The angel of the Lord encamps around Terri and give her peace in knowing You are there!
For You say those that fear you, will be rescued! Ps.34:7

We ask for this rescue to take place tomorrow! In the Blessed Name of Jesus! Amen

Father we praise You!

This was my letter I sent and I will be contacting my particular representatives in the Florida House and Senate for my district as well by phone:

Asking for full support and passing of Terri's Bill for those unfortunates as in the case of Terri Schindler Schiavo who have been denied due process
in regards to an attempt by the State of Florida to starve and dehydrate
her to death since Oct. 15 8AM. Please right this unconscionable wrong.

Bless you for posting that list with handy links; it makes my work much easier.

I posted quick reports about vigil at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1004134/posts?page=32 at 26 & 32

Does anyone know how much opposition is expected to Terri's bill or how much debate will be required? There is not time for much debating in my opinion.

I wonder if this will become a partisan issue?

[mickie]

You have done an outstanding job in your efforts to save our beloved Terri. Along with so many other wonderful FReepers!
I will start calling in the morning.
