I just heard DeLay on Michael Reagan's show, about an hour ago, and he said that they will be working all weekend to get this resolved between the House and the Senate (to come up with something that they will both agree to and vote into Law on Monday). He said that they cannot constitutionally meet over the weekend. He went on to say, though, that Terri could die within several days, and if things become critical, President Bush can constitutionally call Congress into session over the weekend to vote on this, if need be.

He also said that the House bill is much stronger than the Senate bill, and that it was Widen, Boxer, and Levin who made the Senate change the wording (so that it only applied to Terri and not to others in her situation). It was especially Widen, who was concerned that this bill would affect the assisted suicide laws in his State (Oregon, I think it is?)

So please, contact these three Senators - Widen, Boxer, and Levin, especially if you are in any of their jurisdictions. But even if you're not, flood them with phone calls, emails, and faxes and demand that they cooperate to get this bill made into law ASAP.

Let's keep praying for a miracle!

WHEN ARE THEY GONNA SEND IN THE FEDERAL MARSHALLS? Someone needs to get Terri out of there so she will be safe.

I just heard that President Bush HAS called the congress into a emergency session. Am I wrong on that???
