Per front page of Drudge
**Exclusive Fri Mar 18 2005 00:50:07 ET** The Chairman of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pension (HELP) Committee, Mike Enzi (R-Wyoming) has requested Terri Schiavo to testify before his congressional committee, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. In so doing it triggers legal or statutory protections for the witness, among those protections is that nothing can be done to cause harm or death to this individual.
We all believe that.
maybe you shouldn't post to me.
Oh, okay; I'll take a page from your book and post ABOUT you and not ping you, rather than do the couteous thing and ping you.
The following post, for me, put this emotional topic in perspective. Since you are not spoiling for a fight, I am sure you will appreciate it.

In 1978 I dove in 3ft of water and broke my neck. C1+C2+C3 + my adontoid. I remember hearing the doctors talking and surprised I was still alive. I couldn't reply and to make matters worse I could not stay conscious. Later I think they refered to it as "in and out".
I will never forget hearing people say that there was nothing they could do for me and that I was for sure going to die. I was crying inside and unable to reply or communicate with anyone.
I remember it all. My mother and father crying and asking the doctor if I was in pain and the doctor telling them I had no chance at survival.
Im glad no one gave up on me because miracles can and do happen.

Regardless of WHO it is, it's forum rules that you don't post ABOUT people without notifying them.
Hildy, I missed that post. Could you provide me the links or just point to where it is. Thanks
Any intelligent person who reads that page can easily see that it is nothing more than the opinion of a euthanasist, with no supporting documentation.
God, you're transparent. And tacky to boot.
Ooppps......I guess I should have done it like this:
God, you're transparent. And tacky to boot.
What a hypocrit. She runs to the moderators and demands that I be suspended if I type her name in the address line or in a post, then she lies about me in open forum.
NO SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION!!!!! Is this chick for real?
Thanks. She needed to be told that, but I'm not allowed.
You are the only person I have ever reported because of your vicious attacks and stalking nature. Now, call me a liar.
Here's a clue for the clueless: I was talking to YOU.
Actually, I reported this person for stalking. She was even freepmailing me. I did not respond to her, but she continued. She called in some of her friends, and they spammed me. Those of you who have been around for awhile have heard similar accounts from others. Those of you who are hearing this for the first time, just sit back and watch. You'll see.
I don't think anyone's 'making a circus' out of this changes the fundamental point of this case.
The Congress is within its Constitutional boundaries to protect the lives of U.S. citizens, regardless of how people behave while they're doing it.
Now that the judge has thumbed his nose at the U.S. Congress as he has at the Florida State Legislature and duly elected Governor, I'm not sure they won't successfully murder this young woman. And if that happens, we, as a nation, are in deeper trouble than we have ever been in before.
The culture of death will have won a great victory, and sooner or later, we will all pay for it.
My only prayer is, that if Terri should die, the righteous in this nation will both get on their knees in prayer for what we have become, and rise up in righteous indignation for where we are headed.
(I love you, Howlin..........just disagree on this).
I know you do, friend; we can agree to disagree on this.
Absolutely.......and do.
Outstanding!
Those were all good, honest answers. The euthanasists can't respond to those facts with anything but rhetoric.
Very well said.
I don't think there's ever been an issue on FR that has me so split. I see the logic, and even the goodwill, on both sides.
I'd just feel a lot better about it if Terri Schiavo had been allowed to have therapy during the past year to see if she could swallow.
