Terri Schiavo - CALL TO ACTION - Tallahassee Area

As you may already know, Gov Jeb Bush has not yet taken steps to protect the life of Terri Schindler-Schiavo. This is in spite of memorandums of law from several notable legal scholars ensuring him that he has the legal authority and obligation to do so. People in the Tallahassee area of Florida are encouraged to hold vigil at the capitol offices as well as the Governor's mansion. Signs and banners can be fashioned inexpensively and will assist you in getting your message across. Please spread the word. Thank you.

Let me know if it works

[heckler]

I guess I just hopped into the middle of things without checking the depth of the water, or the temperature for that matter.

I usually know more about an issue before I jump into a discussion like this one. I've learned a lot today.

[Sally'sConcerns]

I'm sorry if I sounded harsh when I replied to you. For that, you have my apology.

[heckler]

It's not a problem. I should know better than to jump into the middle of something without reading all the posts first.

I am so sick of pig-headed FReepers with these bogus "CALL TO ACTION! STOP THE LIBS! FREEPER ACTION NEEDED" over the top rants.

I am so sick of all you pig-headed disruptors coming on to our support Terri threads with your over the top rants!!

He's up for re-election (up or down vote on the local ballot) next year. You think he has a chance? ;)

DU is the democratic underground, a website which rivals this one in political matters.

Well, you were nice to me, when I was questioning you about this and I appreciate it.
I'm not into name calling and just don't reply when it starts.
I have been corrected for my bad spelling but I don't correct other people for that. I figure they're just typing fast and I still get the gist of what they're saying.
I thank you for the civil reply

You die Scumbag! Her life is worth more than your life will ever be worth!

Starving a woman to death in the presence of her husbands girl friends mother (Jodi's mom, his future mother in law)
is NOT LETTING HER DIE WITH DIGNITY.

I challenge you to a public boxing match, boy! I assure you I will clean your clock!

Do you have the guts to accept my challenge?

No?

I did not think so.

What a wimp!

You die Scumbag!

So much for your right to life philosophy. You should change your name as it is an embarrassment to real conservatives. Your type is what motivates the DU idiots.

[solitas]

it should happen to you.

[GWB and GOP Man]

Awwwwww! Did him get him wittle itty bitty fee-wings hurt???

The miserable cry baby DID NOT accept my challenge. Just as I suspected.

You should change YOUR name to Puss Boy in Alaska.

[GWB and GOP Man]

Yes. While George W. has a healthy pair of balls, Jeb, obviously did not get a pair.

If he did, he would save Terri's life and not waste another second.

Gee, you know more than neurologists. Amazing.

Unfortunately, alerting people to what is going on is all we can do now, and blessing on the people praying for this woman.

There will always be people like you who bring new meaning to the word, "clueless".

[LaraCroft]

"And thank you for the civilized response, some here seem incapable of that."

There is something about being called names by someone that does that to people.

There is also the little thing of posting strong opinions on something you know very little about.. what next? Will there be waxing eloquently on neurosurgery?

OK, so in your opinion she's clinically dead.

Not mine, but since if she's clinically dead then why did the judge deny her the chance to attempt getting her hydration and food by mouth? After all if she's clincally dead as you think, she really won't be able to swallow what is placed in her mouth, right? BUT if she really isn't clinically dead she probably can swallow and thus give herself a chance for a longer life. So deny Terri right to try?

Personally since even Karen Quinlan didn't have her breathing tube removed without theraphy to give her a chance to breath on her own, exactly why is a feeding tube being removed without theraphy to give Terri a chance to swallow and digest food on her own?

(and no, I don't think her tube should have been removed)
