Story MAY be wrong.
Nothing confirmed, but think this reporter is simply reprinting a PR release from family.
Purpose of session is NOT for bill for Terri. It is to pass tax incentives for new Scripts Biotech company FL has been trying to lure to state for months.
Much confusion at this hour.

I have to wonder what the hell kind of a woman would have gotten involved with Michael Schiavo, much less stayed this long and had two kids with him, knowing what he is doing to his disabled wife? I can't believe she totally has NO CLUE as to what kind of man he really is.
To: MindBender26
To be fair, the article didn't say that the session was called for the purpose of dealing with Terri's situation. It only said that Byrd will introduce the bill at the session. He will have to get what, a 75% vote just to add the topic. Is that 75% of present, or 75% of the entire membership of the legislative body?

Bless you WackySam. I wonder if the Terrisfight.org site could use your links until they get their form up and running?

Amazing !! ... Gov. Bush calls special session over Terri Schiavo
Excerpt:
TALLAHASSEE, FL -- Florida Governor Jeb Bush is stepping in to help save the life of a brain-damaged Florida woman. He is calling a special session of the Florida legislature on Monday.
At that time, Florida's Speaker of the House Johnnie Byrd is scheduled to introduce "Terri's Bill." The bill would put an immediate moratorium on all dehydration and starvation deaths in Florida. Meanwhile, supporters of Terri Schiavo showed up today outside a Pinellas Park hospice.
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Florida or General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

The Terri Jello Brigade
Will Continue To March Forward
Until Terri Receives Therapy For Oral Feeding.Question of the day: Why oh why wouldn't the govenment allow Terri to receive communion yesterday?
Answer: It would prove she can swallow!!!!! They'd have to stop the murder by decree, and declare the death of the greatest growth industries ( spell that s-c-a-m ) by the two evil sisters - religion and government!!!
Go To:
JOIN THE TERRI JELLO BRIGADE!!! -- DAY FIVE
Could you do without food and water for five days?
DAY 5
THE STATE OF FLORIDA, U.S.A.
IS EXECUTING TERRI SCHINDLER-SHIAVRO
BY STARVATION
(See http://terrisfight.org )
At 2 P.M. on October 15, the State of Florida surgically removed the feeding tube from a conscious and otherwise alert human being. Her name is Terri Schiavo. Her unfaithful husband, acting as her legal 'guardian' demanded and received a court directive to end Terri's life through the intentional deprivation of food and water - staving her to death.
The entire establishment structure in Florida from the governor to the local sheriff, from newspapers and television to organized religion, have actively and passively supported this barbaric torture to end the life of a woman whose only 'fault' is she can not speak in her own behalf.
"....In Florida, these matters are entrusted to the system that our elected officials established to protect incapacitated adults....We must respect that system" -- Jeb Bush, Governor
A Florida sanctioned murder by starvation of a woman who has committed no crime has been ongoing for five days!!!
Could you do without food and water for five days?
Join the Terri Jello Brigade Today!!!
Where's the Pope?
Terri is a Roman Catholic, and the pope receives world-wide attention when he stands in defense of murdering criminals. Terri is not a murdering criminal. Terri has committed no crime. Terri is a Roman Catholic.
WHAT IS THE REASON FOR YOUR SILENCE FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS POPE JOHN PAUL II?
The State of Florida denied Terri Holy Communion yesterday, Sunday, as she watched the world from her deathbed!!!
SPEAK UP JOHN PAUL - THIS IS YOUR DUTY!!!
YOUR DUTY!!!!
YOUR SILENCE IS ENDORSING THE BARBARIC EXECUTION BY THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT OF AN INNOCENT ROMAN CATHOLIC WOMAN CONVICTED OF NO CRIME?
WOULD YOU BE SILENT IF THE PERSON WAS MOTHER TERESA?
IS TERRI'S SOUL LESS EQUAL TO THAT OF MOTHER TERESA IN GOD'S EYES?
FOR FIVE YEARS YOU HAVE DENIED THE TRUTH OF TERRI SCHIAVO'S TORTURE BY THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. YOUR FAILURE TO ACT HAS THE POTENTIAL OF STAINING THE LEGACY YOU HAVE CAREFULLY CONSTRUCTED AT GREAT EXPENSE TO ALL AROUND YOU.
WHAT IS THE REAL REASON FOR YOUR FIVE YEARS OF SILENCE POPE JOHN PAUL II?
THE LITMUS TEST
"The litmus test is whether or not a person can bring a spoon to their mouth." -- Attorney George Felos, August 2001, commenting on the standard that should apply in deciding to terminate life in nursing homes, rehab and daycare centers in America.
New Jersey lawyer Christopher A. Ferrara argues that Michael Schiavo has violated Terri's rights under federal laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, by withholding medical treatment and refusing to allow her to fed by mouth.
"(The Schindlers) are about to lose their daughter because no one wants to put a teaspoon of Jello to her mouth," Ferrara said. "It's insane."
Do something that will really tick 'em off!!! Let your envelope be one of many that will fill their offices with the dreaded packages of jello they dare not feed Terri. My family sent already sent three envelopes to these arrogant pretenders.
Join the Terri Schindler-Shiavro Jello Brigade ..... by going to the store.
Buying a 99cent box of Jello.
Address it to :
No More Wiggle Room - Jeb Bush
Governor, State of Florida
400 S. Monroe Street
The Capitol
Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0001
Save Terri Schindler-Shiavro's Life Today!!!
So what's our REAL message???
Change the way your running things!!! We're watching you, and we don't like the way you're doing business in our name!!!
Related costs: Jello .99; Envelope 1.19, stamps 1.29
What Next? After you deposit your mailing to Governor Bush, please allow time to offer Him your prayers for Terri, and be certain to pass this entire email on to everyone you know, asking them to join with us - urging they bring this to the attention of their friends.
Should Terri succumb to the governments extreme termination of her life, continue to urge your friends to mail the jello to the governor. It will serve to underline our anger over government's murder of the innocent because they simply have no further value to the state.
Thank you for doing what you could to help an American Citizen who needed you!!!

"Sorry if my ideas sound dumb..."
No, your ideas are great. The most effective symbols of protest are short, to the point, and almost Zenlike in their laser aim to the heart of the matter. Perfect example: the idea about the sign reading, "Are you Thirsty?"
Praying hard for Terri - we Californians threw out a corrupt governor, now you Floridians go after a cruel and unjust law that allows a skunk like Michael Schiavo to have the sole right to order the death an innocent, sentient woman. Godspeed.
To: gg188
The governor said having Scripps, the country's leading nonprofit biomedical research organization, expand into the state would also allow Florida "be part of something where you are improving the human condition."
The irony is really too much for me to take.
