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 just called King's office and she told me it goes to Gov now, will call Byrd's office to check it out,... "

YES!!! JEB GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND MEET THEM HALF WAY TO WHERE EVER YOU ARE!!

Please No More Just give Terri some water! Jeb should send the police and worry about formality later. The bill should be in effect in principal since someone live is in the balance.

The next bill should be an amendment to the constitution giving the government the right to remove judges who are off their rocker, like Greer.

You have 100 people in a room, 99 will say the sky is blue, Greer would say orange. That is the way he has been interpreting the law.

Terri had a state appointed GAL. Greer removed that person (Mr. Pease, I think) when he reported to the court (as per his responsibility) that Michael was refusing Terri the therapy she was entitled to using the trust fund set up for that purpose. Greer then appoint Michael as her guardian and he has been making her franchise decisions ever since, with Greer's full complicity and failure to hold MS to the minimal standards of guardianship as MS had continued to defraud Terri for the past seven years.

[PleaseNoMore]

NMGA, If I could be the one to give her water, I would certainly do so with all of the love in my heart and with the praises of God on my own lips. I pray that this is going to the Governor as we sit here and type.

According to MSNBC, Michael Schiavo is on his way to court to reverse the Legislatures decision.

Does anyone know if Michael (Satan) is going to be removed as guardian and if a guard will be placed over her for her protection?

[trussell]

Just brought it up in the house.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

I thought the parents signed off early on because they were told that it would make it easier to get settlement money. If what you say is true that makes thi seven worse. ANy link to that?

[honeygrl]

The House is already on it!!!!!! That was fast!

[tutstar]

help me find Jeb's phone number......want to verify with Jeb's office..

[windchime]

House bringing up NOW.

[LibertyAndJusticeForAll]

The house has it and changes are being explained.

[Rebelgrrl]

I'm surprised that since he's from Broward he didn't try voting 2 or 3 times. I don't think S. Florida has yet figured out the "intricacies" of one person one vote.

Sorry to get in on this later. I've been dealing with "morning sickness from hell". I'm dixiegrrl's sister (can't tell by the name can you?)

[PleaseNoMore]

Folks, I pray that we will ALL take some time to lift our voices to heaven in thanks and honor to God. We have prayed so hard and He has been faithful to us to answer using man as the vessel to spare Terri Schiavo's life. Please, everyone, let us set everything aside and thank Him. He is truly moving still and we need to see from this what we can accomplish in this country when we place our complete trust and faith in Him.
