I haven't seen any good pics of the vigil but from what I am reading it seems a pretty peaceful and quiet endeavor.

I don't know why or how this came to me this mornign but I was thinking: Does anyone ahve access to a large screen TV or two. Certainly there is someone in the Pro-Life movement in Florida that has access to lend or donate a few (a manager or such of a Best Buy or Circuit City Store or whatever such thing there is back there). Place them up where the cops standing gaurd can see, where anyone in Terris room can see, where visitors to other patients can see.

And loop that video and play it over and over and over on this (or even better these TVs)

And Bullhorns so that the facts of what is happening can be known. And specific messages too- a message to Jeb how this is going to cost him votes, a message to Michaels rep, which I heard was his girlfriedns mother at some point asking if this is how she would like to see her daughter die, to the LEOs on the scene if in their hearts this is really what their oath "to protect and to serve" means. This would not have to be riotous for any reason- just noisy enough to get some attention. Just short messages repeated over and over accompanying this video to anyone to whom an appeal can be made and/or facts about this case that might make people change their minds (I know mine was when I realized there was more to it that the news was telling.)

I just can't imagine that there are so many people in Florida lacking hearts- certainly there has to be staff and/or LEOs willing to "look the other way" and let someone slip Terri a spoonful of Jello and get it videotaped- even if they have to have someone else hold down Micahel Shciavo while they do it.

Am I just being utterly ridiculous?

Thanks and BTTT!

[Jeff Head]

Thanks so much for these links.

This is an atrocity that cannot be allowed to stand. it represents the next evolution in the culture of death that has been spawned and fertilized by tens of millions of abortions IMHO.

We need individuals there, principally the family, who have the will, the commitment and the faith to put it all on the line like we did in Klamath. I saw the government reverse course there and return things to at least the status quo when the people there (a few hundred of us) made it clear that it was either that, or a very nasty and probably bloody fight against farmers who had supported this administration.

I believe the same would happen there.

Either way...you have to do what is right because it is right, regardless of the consequences. it is the only way to advance the right and keep evil from bearing sway. Evil is bearing sway in Florida right now.

God help and bless those folks...and God comfort and ease Terri's suffering.

Regarding Terri Schiavo

Fort Lauderdale, October 15, 2003 — More than 200 years ago, the founders of America declared publicly that "All
men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness."

Thomas Jefferson, who drafted those words, also said that "The care of human life and not its destruction is the first
and only object of good government."

And yet, today, a state judge is ordering Terri Schiavo to die a horrific, inhumane, barbarous death. She has been
sentenced to an excruciatingly painful death by dehydration that, unless Governor Bush or a court intervenes, will take
10-14 days until Terri's court-imposed torture ends in what will be a tragic and, mark my words, criminal death.

It is a striking and frightening fact that in America today one state judge can be suspended from office for refusing to
remove the Ten Commandments from public display-as Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore was in August-while another,
Judge Greer, can order the death of an innocent human being without any consequence whatsoever.

Governor Jeb Bush has a duty in this case to defend life. We are told that ours is a nation of laws and not men, that
we are governed by the rule of law and not by the shifting opinions of men. Well, here, we are not governed by law, but
by lawlessness. A court order that mandates the cruel and unusual sentence of death by dehydration has violated the very
first purpose of civil government-the care and defense of life.

For too long, elected officials have stood by, have shrugged their shoulders, and taken a pass on their duty to follow
the Constitution and the laws of their state. If Governor Bush fails to intervene in this case, to exercise his authority to
defend life, he will have failed to defend Terri Schiavo's constitutional and God-given right to life.

Terri is a young woman who has the capacity to respond to her environment, recognize voices, brighten at the
presence of her mother, and most remarkably, as we learned yesterday, even bolt up in bed in response to a warning
given to her by her therapist over the phone.

All one has to do is view the videos on the Schiavo web site, www.terrisfight.org, to see that she is not in a comatose
or vegetative condition. But even if she were, that would not legitimize her court-ordered execution.

Here, as Jane Chastain described it recently, is what takes place when food and water are withdrawn. Beyond hunger
pangs, the skin, lips, and tongue crack. The nose bleeds, as mucous membranes dry out. Vomiting follows, as the
stomach lining dries out. Blood pressure drops, the heart rate rises, and physical extremities become cold, as circulation
is redirected to internal organs to maintain their function.

The door that the U.S. Supreme Court opened 30 years ago-and widened in subsequent cases-is reaping morbid
results. We have replaced a sanctity of life ethic, which is a Christian idea, with a quality of life ethic-one which places
one's right to life on a balance scale against which is weighed one's health, one's capacity to function and, in many cases,
one's age. This is a pagan concept which, if unchecked, will take a great many more victims than Terri Schiavo.

Again, I urge Governor Bush to use the powers of his office to intervene in defense of what Thomas Jefferson said is
the first duty of government-the care and defense of the inalienable right to life.

Remember when Janet Reno called out her SWAT Teams to kidnap Elian Gonzalez to send him back to papa Castro?

Well, why can't John Ashcroft do the same? And kidnap Terri, and send her to Uncle Sam for protection from murder. Maybe, like Elian, she can get the care and treatment she needs at the Wye Estate, or whatever they called the place that Elian spent several months on happy juice.

I am so furious that this government sanctioned murder of an innocent woman is happening under President Bush and Governor Bush's watch.

Lady Liberty surely is weeping. Give me your tired, your hungry, your poor, your persecuted. My eye. Jeey Boykin, persecuted. Elian Gonzalez sent to Castro's hellhole. Terri Schiavo condemned to death by a black robed despotic judge.

God help us, Terri's 81 year old Catholic priest who came today to give her her Last Rites and Holy Communion was threated with arrest if he dared give her the Holy Eucharist.

God help us a valient, courageous warrior and hero is scorned by leftists, democrats, and NY Times, LA Times, and WASH Post who are doing the groundwork enabling the power of OBL, Saddam and fanatical extremist Muslim terrorist scum, for his strong beliefs and religious convictions that made him the brave man he is.

God help us, leftists, democrats sent Elian to a communist waste land.

When and where will it stop? It is up to us to stand and rise up in defense of our religious faith before we see another 1939 Nazi Germany.

Many thanks for contributing the great compilation, Backhoe.

[ZOTnot]

Thanks Backhoe for posting this for all of us. I wish all who are reading will note the power of spirituality: A relic from Mother Theresa, who is to be beatified (last step to becoming a saint) tomorrow, was touched to this girl's face this week. Sainthood requires two miracles to be declared. One so far has been documented. Maybe this act of faith will result in a second miracle.

My mother's birthday, God rest her soul, is also tomorrow. No doubt she is with God today. I will ask Mother Theresa and my own Mother for a miracle today of intercession on behalf of this poor woman from Florida as they sit at the foot of the Throne adoring God who can grant special intercessions at the request of those whom he loves and welcomes to his everlasting paradise for their faithful service on earth.
