It's in news reports all over the place, not just an FR "what if" hypothesis! Lord have mercy...it's her only hope.

I thought Freepers got reassuring emails back from FL Senators or Representatives.

Do we know if any of the replies actually mentioned specific pro-Terri legislation?

Or were their replies very general?

All of my email replies were generic auto-replies.

There must be some sort of legislation draft since Byrd's office said they would support "Terri's Bill" but not introduce it. I don't see how they could support something they haven't seen.

The actual text on the Terrisfight.org website reads

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.

...E-Mail responses to Freeper E-Mails to Florida Legislators were the Standard Form Response Letters one always gets.
