When he was done I said, well tomorrow morning when you are making you breakfst you will have to stop calling it breakfast and start calling it... making your Life Support!
He totally made the connection immediatly and chatted with me about that. How food and water are just basic and how he can't understand how a person could be starved to death if they haven't said that is what they would want, in WRITING.
(APPLAUSE!) This is PRICELESS!
Looks like we got some think-tank action goin' on in the Terri threads! :o)
I think the connection of "Life Support- It's what's for dinner" is a great attention getter and I'll continue to use it, when I can work it in.
However I jsut got off the phone with Senators Feingold and Kohl of Wisconsin and I literally stopped their aids cold when I said, "Florida is the Roe v Wade of Forced Euthanasia"
I jsut strongly encourage everyone to use this in their subject lines and in thier letters and e-mails.
I cna't emphasize enough how that short statement stopped the listener cold. I could literally hear them take an intake of breath. I mean it STOPPED them cold. They really understood the seriousness of the issue when I used that phrase.

It changes the topic completely from "right to die" to Euthanasia, which is what it is.
Also they always are impressed that I am calling from France. I feel certain when I am talking with them that they really are writing it down and that my Senators are actually going to see the words "Florida is the Roe v Wade of Forced Euthanasia" They have promised me that they would give my message to the Senator. I think these messages are going to be seen.
BTW it is Senate Bill 539
Neither Kohl or Feingold would go on the record, what their position is. They both claimes it was jsut introduced last night so they need a chance to evaluate it.
BTTT.
