Just recieved this message via e-mail


Thank you for writing me regarding the tragic case of Terri Schiavo.  People on all sides of this issue know that Terri has been severely impaired since 1990, and that she unfortunately left no written directive detailing her wishes regarding actions taken by her doctors to keep her alive.  Her condition has been the focus of an emotional and lengthy legal battle.  On more than one occasion, the courts have ordered that she starve to death. 

 Many Floridians, like the Schiavo and Schindler families, disagree about what should be done.  However, I believe that we should err on the side of life.  I am therefore committed to use all lawful means to keep Terri Schiavo alive and to work with the Florida Legislature on appropriate legislation to expand those lawful means as necessary.  I also applaud the efforts of Florida Congressman Dave Weldon and Senator Mel Martinez for sponsoring legislation to address these issues at the federal level.

Please know that I respect the opinions of those who disagree with the actions I have taken.  This is a heart-wrenching case, and I have not taken any action without thought, reflection and an appreciation for other points of view.


 


 


Sincerely,


 


Jeb Bush

That sounds like form letter mush. Legally he CAN use the National Guard to put an end to this.

Sounds like he is not giving up... wonder when this e-mail reply was drafted though.

Excuse me, but what "actions" has he taken? I must have missed that.
