After much hard work that has gone on for well over a year, it's been a week and 2 days since Terri has been without food and hydration.
Many asking the question how we could have become such a callous society as to deny a helpless human the basic necessity of food and water.
Terri's plight has brought to light many problems in the judicial system and opened our eyes to the fact that some laws need to be changed.
The work will continue to protect helpless individuals from suffering the same injustice as Terri.
YEP !!! THAT WAS IT !

Yep!!! You HEARD what you thought YOU HEARD!!! unbelievable. A woman in their state is dying and they are talking about cock fights and poopers~!
This is beyond sad. They should all have fiddles. My dear Lord.
If anyone is still having trouble getting to the FL senate session, this worked for me:

and then click on "Senate Chamber"
IF that is true...they all need to be starved to death.....shooting them in the head is too good for them.
Is there something wrong with these people in the Senate? Do they not know that this is an emergency?
thanks for posting that . . . God bless you, Laura, for your good heart and desire to do good for Terri.
REMINDER TO ALL -- even as some are led to fast -- to please look out for your well being! TigersEye was so kind to say this to me back in Oct '03 . . . that as we continue to do all we see to do, and to pray and rely on the Lord, we do need to stay strong w/right food, drink, and rest. Have a good FR (or other) buddy, too, with whom you can share and pray as you need to . . . that has really been a big blessing to me.
I appreciate you all so much, as I read through your posts and see your good, kind hearts . . . may God please bless these efforts for good, for Terri's wellbeing. May He bring healing to all who seek and need it as they put Him first in their lives -- including even those who seek Terri's harm, may they please, Lord, repent and turn from the harm they bring an innocent woman and her loving family.
Still doesn't work for me.... I think it's just busy....because I get other things like Rush....
They obviously know already they are going to reject it anyway....since they could give a rats a$$ about it...
I believe (I could be wrong) that the agenda is set by the Chair. Who is this person? Anyone know?
I'm extremely disappointed with Jeb. I know he could do more for Terri. Did you happen to see the pic of Laura Bush? She looks very upset. I emailed her last year, asking if she could help Terri. She's a good woman, but all she can realistically do is pray along with the rest of us.
The world is upside down when I can agree with the Village Voice, Jesse Jackson, and Ralph Nader.
If she had put the full weight of her influence behind this we would not be on this thread today.
It's not an emergency to them, it's an annoyance.
Dear....you're not missing a thing!!!
They are absolutely ridiculous!
Discussing mundane junk! I had to turn it down.
Somebody yell when they start discussing it.
I can't take this stuff!
I don't want to know when they start discussing it. I am so tired of these highs and lows. From now on I don't care what the court says or what the Senate says. I only care what God says. And if He wants Terri to survive this, she's going to. I'm not looking to men anymore. This had done a great deal for my faith, I can't tell you.
I'll bet the reports about threats to Jodi are lies and exaggerations. Terri has been Michael's prisioner for 15 years, and has had no more rights than an inanimate object. In fact most inanimate objects are treated with better care. I hardly feel sorry for Jodi.
Interesting that stories about threats to Jodi and Joan Schiavo are not even a day apart. Must be STRATEGERY.
P.S. If I hear one more time how Jodi did Terri's wash, I am going to explode!!!!!!! If true, BIG DEAL!!!!!
Nice, mistreatment of cocks, but not the mistreatment of an disabled women! *shaking head*

The Florida state constitution declares unequivocally that in the state of Florida "the supreme executive power shall be vested in a governor … ." The word supreme means highest in authority. There can be no executive authority in the state of Florida higher than the governor. No state law can create an executive authority higher than highest in the Florida constitution. Therefore no court order based upon such a law can constitutionally create such an authority.
If the governor tells the local police in Pinellas County to step aside, they must do so, or else be arrested and tried for an assault on the government of the state, which is to say insurrection.
(If Gov. Jeb Bush fears that for some reason they would question the authority of his representatives, then he should take the necessary law enforcement officials to Tampa in person, thus making the situation crystal clear.)
Since Florida's highest law grants him supreme executive power, the governor's action would be lawful. No one in the Florida judiciary can say otherwise, since the whole basis for the doctrine of judicial review (which they invoked when they refused to apply "Terri's law") is that any law at variance with the constitution is no law at all.
Gov. Bush has said that he recognizes the injustice being done to Terri Schiavo but is powerless to stop it. He is obviously not powerless, and his view of injustice is fully warranted.
The Florida state constitution declares: "All natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law and have inalienable rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend life and liberty … ."
The word "inalienable" means that the rights in question cannot be given away or transferred to another by law. Now, by allowing Michael Schiavo to starve his wife to death, Judge George W. Greer transfers to Schiavo the exercise of her right to life, doing on her behalf what the Florida state constitution declares she herself could not do (since an inalienable right cannot be given away).
Schiavo's decision, and any element of the law it is based on that has the same effect, are therefore unconstitutional on the face of it.
The governor of Florida cannot be obliged to enforce unconstitutional edicts, nor can he be faulted for acting to stop an evident violation of the constitution. In his oath as governor he swore to "support, protect and defend the Constitution and government of the United States and of the state of Florida."
As supreme executive, he is obliged to act in their defense, and no court order can relieve him of this responsibility.
Any order by Judge Greer that seeks to prevent him from doing his sworn duty, as he sees fit, is invalid, and any attempt by the judge to incite armed forces to enforce his order would be an act of judicial insurrection against the constitution and government of Florida.
The judge may have whatever opinion he pleases, but when he attempts to use force to back it up, he breaks the law, going against the constitution of the state, which is to say against the supreme law in Florida.
In Federalist 81, when Alexander Hamilton lists the safeguards against "judiciary encroachments on the legislative authority," he cites in particular "its total incapacity to support its usurpations by force."
Accepting the notion that judicial orders at any level may constitute an executive power superior to the chief executive would give the judiciary just such a forceful capacity.
When every judicial decision carries the implied threat of armed insurrection, a key safeguard of liberty and self-government is removed. If any state governor, or the president of the United States acts so as to encourage the judiciary to assume such executive power, or the people to believe that it may constitutionally do so, he undermines the integrity of all our constitutions, and of American self-government as a whole.
This constitutes a grave dereliction of duty and would in saner times clearly be grounds for his impeachment by a legislature intent on defending the Florida constitution against "judiciary encroachments."
By God's grace, however, Terri Schiavo still lives, and Gov. Bush may yet act to redeem himself and his constitutional authority. Courageous action would be an act of statesmanship, defending the integrity of our constitutional system and the ultimate sovereignty of the people.
We have long been awaiting the statesman who could turn a crisis into such healing. Like Ronald Reagan before him, Jeb Bush could prove himself such a man. For Terri's sake and for the sake of constitutional self-government in America, he should act now. For failure to do so, he has no excuse.
Be sure to visit Alan Keyes' communications center for founding principles, The Declaration Foundation.
Former Reagan administration official Alan Keyes, was U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Social and Economic Council and 2000 Republican presidential candidate.
THIS IS THE INFORMATION FREEPERS NEED TO CONTACT THE FLA SENATE AND FLA HOUSE AND GOVERNOR BUSH!!!
This has been an eye opener for many, I'm sure.
I guess I don't care if they discuss it either.
God is on the Throne and His Will, will be done!
He doesn't NEED men!
We can believe Him and have much more peace!!!
