TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Jeb Bush was in daily contact with congressional leaders in March as court efforts to intervene on behalf of Terri Schiavo faltered, according to e-mails obtained Monday from the governor's office. The e-mails, released to The Palm Beach Post in response to a public records request, also show that state lawmakers persevered with legislative maneuvering to keep the severely brain-damaged woman's feeding tube intact, despite advice from Bush's top Schiavo attorney that such an effort was hopeless.

President Bush will make remarks on the death of Terri Schindler (Schiavo) at 11:40 am EST.

SIMPLY PUT: Terri Schiavo is on day 13 of her marathon thus showing she is hardly suicidal and has no problem with being on a feeding tube. That she loves life./ The suicidals and weaklings are on the pro death side. Anemic punks such as George Felos and half blind judge Greer That weaker specimen punk lawyer George Felos. This runt was the last boy picked for a baseball game. Demented death angel Corrupt liar lawyer judge he's done it all. Death angel

On Good Friday, as Terri Schiavo lay dying of thirst in Woodside Hospice, Gabriel Keys took her a cup of water. Gabriel was arrested, handcuffed and taken away. Apparently, no one taught Gabriel that you do not disobey a judge's order, even to bring water to someone dying of thirst. As he is 10 years old, he is probably not yet conversant with the new morality, where a corporal work of mercy can be a crime. Perhaps his parents filled his mind with such subversive texts as, "Whoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones, a cup...

The methods used for mass extermination in the Nazi death camps originated and were perfected in earlier use against people with physical, emotional, and intellectual disabilities. This article describes the historical context of attitudes toward people with disabilities in Germany and how this context produced mass murder of people with disabilities prior to and during the early years of-World War II. Several key marker variables, the manipulation of which allowed a highly sophisticated Western society to officially sanction the murder of people with disabilities, are examined. Important implications must continually be drawn from these sad events as we work with...

At this point, we are all praying and hoping beyond hope that something will happen to save Terri. But it is time to think of what we can do to change things so that this never happens again that Terri's life and death might not be in vain. Of course, we'll keep our fingers crossed and maybe the judge and Mike will face some consequences, but that might not happen either. But a movie bringing out the facts on this case including the lack of role the local bishop and clergy had might be enough to change things. And it...

Norm Olsen, pastor of a right to life church in Wolverine, Michigan and senior adivser to the Michigan Militia, said Tuesday that he had put together an unarmed coalition of state militias that were prepared to storm the Florida hospice where Terri Schiavo has been left to die, and take her to a safe house. Olsen said he only needed the OK from Schiavo's father, either directly or indirectly through his attorney David Gibbs, to put the plan, called 'Operation Resurrection,' into action on Easter Sunday.But Olsen said Gibbs called the FBI (to report the plans) instead of passing his...

I never had any desire to run for political office, but, if I did, it would be to make a difference. If I didn't think I could make a difference, what would be the point? Florida Gov. Jeb Bush told us last week he just didn't have the power and authority to save one innocent woman forced by court order and armed guard to starve to death in his state. I don't believe that's true. Not for a minute do I believe it. Jeb Bush blinked. And that weakness that he showed for the whole world should represent the end...

IN THE MILITARY U.S. Army court-martials captain for mercy killing Medic 'spazzed out' over suspected Iraqi terrorist with mortal head wound -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: March 30, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com As brain-injured Terri Schiavo enters her 13th day of starvation in Florida after nearly a decade-long court dispute over her fate, a U.S. Army captain is being court-martialed in Wiesbaden, Germany, and facing 20 years for the mercy killing of a suspected Iraqi terrorist under battlefield conditions. The tank commander, Capt. Rogelio Maynulet of Chicago, is being tried on a charge of assault with intent to commit murder...

JOSEPH FARAH, HOST: We've got with us a special guest. Alan Keyes is back with us--diplomat, author, talk show host, brilliant orator, statesman, constitutional scholar. And his organization the Declaration Foundation can be accessed on the web at Declaration.net. Welcome to the program, Alan. KEYES: Thank you. Glad to be with you. FARAH: Well, you've got another great essay in WorldNetDaily today on this Terri Schiavo case. And in it you say that Florida Governor Jeb Bush is courting dereliction of duty. Tell us what you mean. KEYES: Well, he has two responsibilities. One, to the Constitutional rights of Terri...

Morphine Posted 11:27 a.m., Wednesday, March 30, 2005 A 'Schiavo' thought that I haven't heard or seen mentioned on mainstream television: if Terri cannot feel anything (her husband's attorney says that she is 'comfortable') why all of the morphine? Mightly has gone back and forth with this case (against removing the tube, then for it), but on this point, one has to wonder. Sean Hannity has discussed Terri's need for morphine, but where the hell is everyone else? If she truly is brain-dead, one has to wonder.

Dr. Dow Pursley, Ed.D, returned home from teaching an ethics class Monday night at Baptist Bible College and Seminary and told his wife Joanne he was flying to Florida to protest against Terri Schiavo's impending death. The family counseling professor booked the first flight out of town -- a 4 a.m. red-eye Tuesday -- and the couple of 37 years then spent the balance of the night praying. Advertisement Click Here! Later Tuesday morning Dr. Pursley, 56, was shocked with a Taser stun gun and arrested by Pinellas Park (Fla.) police on charges of attempted burglary and resisting arrest without...

Lazarus, come forth! When God wrote the Bible He wrote to us from His point of view. However, when we read things, we have a tendency to look at what we read through rose colored glasses. If we take off those glasses and look at things through God's eyes instead, we may see things we really don't like about ourselves. We are corpses, that's what God Himself call us in Eph 2:5, 5:14, and Col 2:13. These are some of the many verses that address our spiritual estate before salvation. God demands we look at the whole Bible in this...

A professor at a Bible college near Scranton, Pa., was arrested Tuesday as he tried to storm into the hospice caring for Terri Schiavo. Dow Pursley, 56, was zapped with a Taser stun gun and tackled to the ground by officers before he reached the door, Pinellas Park police said. He became the 47th protester arrested. Pursley, who is on the faculty of the Baptist Bible College & Seminary in Clarks Summit, Pa., had two bottles of water with him, police said. He was charged with attempted burglary and resisting arrest. Baptist Bible College officials said in a written statement...

The White House was "troubled," according to one source, about the reported actions -- or inactions -- of the Justice Department last week as Republicans in Congress made a last ditch attempt to rescue Terri Schiavo. "You actually had Arlen Specter and his Judiciary Committee out there trying to save this woman's life, and then you have Alberto Gonzales and his crew over at Justice basically putting up roadblocks," says a White House staffer. "This was not a good way for Gonzales to start his tenure there." Gonzales has been on the job at Justice for a little over two...

Judge Greer has accomplished a coup: He commandeered local cops to repel a state agency (Family and Children Services) and Jeb's state police. And what happens to him for usurping extra-judicial authority? nothing. He's allowed to continue the killing process, with a bizarre zeal to see Terri Schiavo die. Michael will be rid of her, and recipient, likely of book and TV movie deals, from a Hollywood that is pushing assisted suicide as the cause du jour. Greer thumbs nose at Congress; what happens? Nothing. The man shows signs of lunacy - - - is he fiddling with metal balls,...

Jeb Bush Should Have Acted, Says Pat Buchanan Republican presidential candidate, author, pundit and political analyst Pat Buchanan thinks Florida Gov. Jeb Bush should have invoked his executive authority to save Terri Schiavo, even to the point of inviting a contempt-of-court citation. Buchanan, in an interview with top-10 radio host Don Imus, said Jeb's resolve would serve two purposes: One, it would demonstrate – agree or disagree – that he took seriously his oath of office, which calls on him to protect the lives of Florida citizens; and two, that he is prepared to use his authority to overturn an...

"I think Mr. Felos has some infatuation with death." That's what Bobby Schindler, brother of Terri's Schiavo, now in her 12th day of court-ordered starvation, said on Fox News' "Hannity and Colmes" last night. He was commenting on claims made by attorney George Felos, long-time counsel of Terri's estranged husband Michael Schiavo, that Terri looked "beautiful" as she lay dying. While virtually all other eyewitnesses described the dying brain-injured woman as "gaunt," "drawn," "struggling" and "fighting like hell" for life, Felos described Terri as "beautiful" and "peaceful" to reporters during a Saturday press conference: "She is calm, she is peaceful,...

It was impossible to look without grief at the images of Terri Schiavo starving slowly to death in a Florida hospice. It has, alas, become impossible in America to look at such a tragic set of circumstances without hysteria. Those of us who have long worried that unleashing religious fundamentalism into the bloodstream of American politics would lead to disaster can feel only that our fears have now come true. Fifteen years ago Schiavo suffered a heart stoppage that was caused by her bulimia. Her brain was temporarily starved of oxygen and scans showed that her cerebral cortex had stopped...

On Monday, March 28, 2005, at 5:30 P.M., an emergency protest demonstration/prayer vigil was held in Times Square in New York City. Outraged citizens gathered to protest in the name of conscience against this murder, which is being carried out by the U.S. judicial system with the complicity of many in government and the public. "We plead for the life of an innocent woman who is being put to death for the crime of being disabled." "In addition to praying for Terri and our endangered nation, we plan to implore President George W. Bush and Florida Governor Jeb Bush to...
