Dobson calling it an "outrage"
"It is a horrible death"
"nausea, cramping, body slowly shuts down, seizures...it's Naziesque, can't believe it's happeneing in a civilized society"...

Hannity: Obvious this woman has some level of awareness and she's being starved to death.

Dobson: People across country should be calling in behalf of Terri.

Dobson: "Conflict of intersest regarding her husband" (Hannity had to take a hard commercial break)

Got what I could...

Ping! Hannity's talking about Terri.

We no longer live in a civilized society. The truth of it just hasn't sunken in yet.

All I'm hearing is music! What's up with that!!!

Here is a copy of the amended call for the special session that Jeb issued today on Monday, Oct. 20th. Note, it doesn't say anything about "Terri's Bill". This is exactly what I heard read on the house floor over the internet today.

He really does care. /sarcasm

PROCLAMATION
State of Florida
Executive Office of the Governor
Tallahassee
WHEREAS, on October 9, 2003, I called a Special Session commencing at 12:00 p.m. on Monday, October 20, 2003, and extending through 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 24, 2003; and

WHEREAS, the purpose of this Special Session is to convene the Legislature to consider legislation relating to the use by the State of Florida of one-time only funds provided as part of the President's economic stimulus package for use in several major new and existing economic development opportunities; and

WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the people of the State of Florida to expand the scope of the call for this Special Session;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JEB BUSH, Governor of the State of Florida, by virtue of the power and authority vested in me by Article III, Section 3(c)(1), Florida Constitution, do hereby proclaim as follows:

The call to the Legislature of the State of Florida for this Special Session is expanded for the sole purpose of considering the following:

Legislation to reenact the Biomedical Research Trust Fund in the Department of Health, which serves as a repository for funding for research grants relating to the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure of diseases.

Legislation creating exemption from public records and open meeting requirements for certain information held by the Scripps Florida Funding Corporation and the Office of Tourism, Trade and Economic Development; and legislation amending the public records exemption of Section 288.1067, Florida Statutes, to include the Economic Investment Mega Fund program.

Legislation to appropriate the one-time unclaimed lottery prize ($30.1 million cash value) to the Dr. Philip Benjamin Matching Grant Program for Community Colleges and to the University Major Gifts Program.

To consider and pass by joint resolution the interim state redistricting plan entered by the federal court to remedy the objections of the Department of Justice under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Florida to be affixed to this Proclamation convening the Legislature in Special Session at the Capitol, this 20th day of October, 2003.

continued, talking about the husband...

Dobson: Michael won a $1 million malpractice that he pledged to use for her treatment then shortly after placed the DNR then consistently refused any medical therapy...there is a conflict of interest..."

Hannity: Her dad told Michael's attorney to go ahead and sue him because they are claiming that Michael wants her dead so she can't talk.

Dobson: She isn't ON "artifical life support"

(I cannot type as fast as they talk!)

Dobson describing what happens w/out water...

Hannity & Dobson both have calls into Jeb's office. (Yeah me too!)

His lawyers say "no"; Dobson says 8th Amendment says "yes" (cruel and unusual punishment - and it's not even punishment!)

Dobson: When you consider that this woman is going to die and can't be brought back, it's going to be tough on jeb to find out he should have done something...call out the mitilia...do something....we just can't start killing people!"

Dobson: "Handicapped woman in Tn wrote in and <slammed Florida

Dobson: Surely someone will step in here and save this woman.

Dobson" Focus on family - we're trying to get the word out - call the State legislature & Governor and DEMAND

Dobson: "Jim King is helping to block this effort to save Terri"

Dobson; I do hope tens of thousands of people around the country intercede for a woman who can't speak on her behalf.

Dobson talks about Lindsey Oconnor who is there - uterus burst during birth - deep coma for 47 days - docs said she wouldn't survive and she came out and she's perfectly normal today. Terri at least deserves a right to have that possibility.

Hannity: And she's being denied her religious rights. She can't get last rights....

Hannity: We will have latest on Terri on Hannity: Colmes tonite and we'll try to find out if this bill will EVER make it to the legislature.

I think the segment is over.
I apologize for terrible spelling...

Dobson's making her case very well. Says if someone were starving a dog in Florida they'd be arrested. Regarding the governor, and I paraphrase - he cites the Thomas More Center and all the other lawyers who insist Jeb does have the authority, says Jeb should do whatever he has to do and worry about it later, because if she dies, he can't take it back. He "MUST NOT ALLOW HER TO DIE." Very emphatic, well stated.

Says her family says Terri is a fighter, and she's making that known now.

That's another thing - if Terri didn't want to live, what's keeping her alive now? Other than her own will, since she has had no food or water for 5 days. I find that remarkable and very telling.
