Just got this email from Senator Byrd:
Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns regarding Terri
Schiavo. I value your input on this important matter.
During the past year, the Florida House has faced difficult choices in many
areas. We have crafted legislation regarding the budget, healthcare,
workers compensation, and prescription drug relief for Floridians.
Presently, legislation is being considered to address the victims of legal
dehydration and starvation deaths.
Every Floridian has a right to determine their own treatment, and anyone
who has executed an advanced directive has the right to have his or her
instructions carried out. Where there is no disagreement among family
members, present law does not appear to create reasons for legislative
intervention. However, the Terri Schiavo case raises troubling concerns
that the proposed legislation would address.
The bill passed by the House in Special Session E on Monday night would
allow the Governor to issue a moratorium to stop contested legal
dehydration and starving deaths in Florida in certain instances. The
moratorium would give the Legislature time to assess our current law.
With our pledge to protect the most vulnerable, I strongly believe that
someone needs to be a voice for the voiceless like Terri Schiavo.
Again, thank you for contacting me. I will take your comments to heart and
give them careful consideration as we address the issue of contested legal
dehydration and starvation cases.
Very truly yours,
Johnnie Byrd
Speaker

BACK AT THE HOME OFFICE: Governor Jeb Bush is Terri's guardian for now. I saw her on tv tonight when the ambulance arrived at Morton Plant Hospital. Terri had guardian angels all over the place, even at MPH.
I saw Atty Felos arguing tonight that what the legislature did by letting Terri live was a BIG BROTHER move. Can you believe it?
There is one more hurdle that we have to wait on. Judge Baird gave Felos (hubby's atty) five days to submit a Brief that Baird will review. However, we couldn't find any dirt on Baird on the laptop at The Vigil Command Center. THERE WERE FREEPERS MANNING THE COMMAND CENTER. THERE WERE FREEPERS covering print, radio and tv interviews. I'll try to get my pictures up on a brand new thread asap. Today was like being in Oz and trying to get back to Kansas. "There's no place like home, Judge Greer."
It's highly unlikely Judge Baird would stop Jeb Bush's Executive Order and the legislature's historic vote to save Terri's life. IF THAT GOD, FORBID HAPPENED, WE WOULD JUST SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT AGAIN like we just did in the past two months. What an effort!!!!!
