TALLAHASSEE, FL -- According to a news release sent by the Terry Schindler-Schiavo Foundation, Florida Speaker Johnnie Byrd will introduce "Terri's Bill" during the special session Monday.

The bill would put an immediate moratorium on all dehydration and starvation deaths in Florida. Meanwhile, supporters of Terri Schiavo showed up Sunday outside a Pinellas Park hospice.

Doctors say Schiavo has been in a vegetative state since complications from a heart attack in 1990. Her husband was granted a court order that her feeding tube be removed, saying his wife wouldn't have wanted to be kept alive.

I wonder if all of us are overloading the server? If so, HOORAY!!

Mine just went blue again, but the one guy asked if ther was a provision to prevent the husband from going back to the court to get this overturned, and the answer was no. That would put this right back in Greer's and Michael's hands wouldn't it?

Thanks! working for me too.

They also asked for emails to Wolf@CNN.com.

(Ohhh how it chokes me to have to type that! :)

They can challenge the BILL, but they can't get an injunction towards the STAY.

Their server probably handles up to ten people at a time!

After all, who wants to watch these windbags on a daily basis?
It's like watching the paint dry on your wall.

EXCEPT FOR TODAY. HIGH DRAMA HERE, with a life in the balance.

+ Continued, earnest prayer that Terri is protected by the Living Water and the Manna from Heaven until earthly provision returns ~

[Ohioan from Florida]

Ok, then that's good, but then isn't that some sort of provision? The one senator should have reminded him about that.

[Humidston]

Mine's all dead now.... Nothing. I tried to reconnect but all I did was lose FR... Had to go back and pick up again.

Now my screen says "Connecting" (to Senate)... GRRRR still dead

[windchime]

Mine's been gone for the last few minutes, too.

[Humidston]

It's like watching the paint dry on your wall

AMEN!!

[Humidston]

WHY CAN'T THEY JUST PASS A TEMPORARY BILL TO SAVE TERRI - THEN DISCUSS ALL THESE DETAILS LATER??????????

Yes, continued prayer! And I would bet that it can't handle this much traffic either. Someone , if you can tell what's going on, please keep the rest of us informed of the progress. Mine is back to a blue screen.

[Humidston]

BLESS YOU!!! (Trying now)

[Deo volente]

Whenever I was connected to the video, FR became slow as molasses.

Did anybody else experience this?

Is it just my computer?

[windchime]

Server has reached its capacity message.

I am assuming that if they do this without working out the details, such as something preventing MS from going to a judge and getting an order to reremove the tube, that the bill will be moot.

[PleaseNoMore]

I am getting a "server too congested" message from that link.
