Just spoke with one of the Florida Sen's office...they are done with session for today unless called to special session. Committees are meeting this afternoon.
I asked about the supposed commitment mentioned by JJ yesterday. As far as they know they do not have 3 more votes to ok the bill and it would have to be brought up for consideration by one of those who previously voted no.
Argghhh!
Gutless wonders!
I hope that someday, that those who fought so hard to kill Terri, will tell us why. At the very least, she deserved a new hearing.
I'm gonna think POSITIVE here just for a few moments. I am going to assume and believe that Terri will continue to be kept alive by power that we cannot even perceive and see, kept alive past what doctors usually hold out as hope, and kept alive just enough to allow a court or legislative body to rule in her favor. Then I am going to watch politicians swarm like RATS in favor of Terri (as she is fed and re-hydrated and makes some recovery), knowing and sensing that public opinion is shifting--because of new facts and a deeper interest by the people, and seeing that the PR train is leaving the political station, and they are being left behind.
Then, I'll develop a time line chart to show just at which time various politicos or religious leaders finally stepped up and weighed in on this moral issue and in favor of Terri. I want all of their support, but I think in the aftermath we need who was with us from the beginnings, and who were just Johnny and Jane Come Latelys, trying to hog the spotlight for more votes and security to keep their elective positions.
