As you may already know, Terri's situation has prompted a Georgia state lawmaker to sponsor a Bill (House Bill 1132) that would make it illegal to withhold food and water from a disabled person. I contacted representative Chip Rogers, the Bill's sponsor, and asked what the public could do to assist him in his efforts. His response follows:

"The bill has been assigned to the House Judiciary Committee. If you could contact those committee members and ask that this bill be given a fair hearing, I believe it would go a long way towards making it a reality."



Georgia residents can contact the Georgia House of Representatives, House Judiciary Committee on: http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2001_02/house/gahjudy.htm

Mr. Roger's profile is on:

Associated Press article regarding this Bill is on:

The text of this Bill is on:

Please circulate this email to anyone you know in Georgia. Your help is greatly appreciated.
