I won't go join the protest this time. But I did go to Washington D.C. from rural NM last fall to join in a veterans rally against Kerry. And I would probably be on the line if I lived in Florida.
And don't DARE play the sympathy card with me.
If the Governor says he has the authority to act, but doesn't, what does that say about him? If he remains silent with respect to his authority (which he knows he has), but rings his hands like Pontius Pilot and does nothing, what does that say? No, if he has such authority but does not exercise it in this life and death issue, he loses my respect
And what does this say about the citizens of Florida that they're allowing this to be done in their name...?
DCF is responsible for any action taking Terri into protective custody. They don't act at the Governor's behest.
Right. You protested. At what cost?
Their political futures, their financial stakes, their reputations-everything has been staked on Terri. You have not made these sacrifices.
Jeb Bush has EARNED my respect no matter the outcome.
