URGE CONGRESS TO PASS COMPROMISE TERRI'S LAW!
The leadership of the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives have now
agreed on a bill that would give the Schindlers the opportunity to have their
claims that their daughter's starvation violates her federal constitutional
and statutory rights heard in a federal court. HOWEVER, THE COMPROMISE CAN BE
DERAILED BY A SINGLE OBJECTION IN THE SENATE, AND DELAYED BY A SINGLE
OBJECTION IN THE HOUSE.
The feeding tube that Terri Schindler Schiavo needs to live was removed at
approximately 1:45 PM EST on Friday, March 18. The fact that she has begun the
process of slowly dying of thirst and starvation heightens the critical urgency
of your taking needed action immediately. Only when both houses have passed
the bill and the President has signed it can the Schindlers go into federal
court and obtain a court order to reinsert her feeding tube.
Your help is needed TODAY to contact your senators and representative and
urge them to support the compromise Federal Terri's Law. It is especially
important to contact Democrats in the Senate and House.
PLEASE ACT NOW!
Terri is doomed already. Ted Kennedy will not agree. Neither will Boxer, etc. I had high hopes until now. If you know anything different then me, please share. I will be praying all night for our Terri.
