FORT LAUDERDALE, March 7 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Twelve pro-family organizations will stage a mass national rally for Terri Schiavo on Sunday, March 13, at 3 p.m. on the steps of the Florida state "old" capitol in the capitol courtyard.
The rally takes place just five days before a court order takes effect to remove food and water from the brain-injured but responsive 41-year-old woman.
Rally participants will hold some 1,000 long-stemmed red roses that will be delivered Monday, March 14, to Florida lawmakers. The roses will bear a note: "No food or water" to symbolize what will be done to Terri Schiavo unless legislators intervene on her behalf.
Rose Rally for Terri speakers will include Ken Connor, a Florida attorney who defended Terri's Law for Gov. Jeb Bush, and Dr. Gary Cass, executive director of the Center for Reclaiming America. Terri Schiavo's parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, will also attend the rally and speak.
"This is both a life and death struggle for Terri Schiavo and a watershed fight for all disabled people," said Dr. Cass. "The prospect of a long, painful death from starvation and dehydration that may commence for Terri Schiavo just 11 days from now sends an ominous signal to people with disabilities nationwide. No just society can allow such cruel and inhumane treatment to take place--especially on such a flimsy and ill-founded legal foundation."
I sure hope this is a big turn-out today. Are you feeling well enough to go Floriduh Voter?
So glad freepertwo is there. Have you met up with other freepers yet?
Honestly, I haven't called anyone yet. I need a few hours just to get some energy back. But I'm going to contact eeeevil conservative shortly.
Incidentally, I got off the plane without someone else (non-Freeper) going to the rally. I think this is gonna be HUGE.
