Don't worry, and don't lose any sleep tonight over this.

An objection will only slow things down a bit.



At least one House member, Rep. Robert Wexler, R-Boca Raton, expressed outrage at the attempts by his colleagues to get involved in the case. Wexler said he intends to object to plans to pass the bill through the House by unanimous consent. If any member calls for a voice vote, the House must have at least 218 members present for a quorum. Therefore, Wexler's actions could force House leaders to hold on to the bill until after midnight.

I remember DeLay saying he'd wait to put it on the docket at 12:01 Sunday night/Monday if he had to.

Pray this prayer FOR Terri, just as if you were her. It comes straight from the heart and mouth of King David, a "man after God's own heart" !! This prayer will cover the lot of them. Felos, Michael, Greer.... and ANYBODY and EVERYBODY who choses to be their ally in this matter and all matters similar to it.

" Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them. For without case have they hid for me their net in a pit, which withour cause they have digged for my soul. Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let the net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall. And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation. All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him? False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not. They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul. But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom. I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother. But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not: With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions. I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people. Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land. Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it. This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD, be not far from me. Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord. Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me. Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up. Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me. Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long. In II Chronicles 7:14, God said, If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.[ II Chronicles 7:14 ]

Wexler is Democrat. If there are not 218 members present, then there can be no vote, right?
