Bleeeeeeccccchhhh! What a greasy, slimy, "slick Mickie" this character is. "I never wanted Terri to die. I still don't...." That's why he spent six years and $400,000 on lawyer fees to kill her, I guess.

They need to go into an emergency session and HURRY UP!!

It is criminal that the only thing that has moved anybody in this situation is the fear of being un-elected.

There was a time in America, not so long ago, when public officials who were put in office to protect, defend, and serve the law, upheld the law of life instead of moving with dedicated and purposeful hand to destroy it.

This is a branch off the tree of our culture of death brought on by Roe v. Wade. Its fruit is very bitter.

Thanks for the heads up!

Senate has to vote on their version, then both versions have to be reconciled and then sent to Gov Bush.

Thanks for the heads up!

Six days is too long! Let's get this woman a meal for God's sake!

A big amen to that brother.

Just sent this in reply to an email for the Governor's office.

Dear Governor Bush,

Thank you for keeping me apprised of your actions on behalf of Mrs Schiavo.

I have a suggestion - could Mrs. Schiavo be made a ward of the State of Florida. There is apparently already funds available for her care. It would seem that Mr. Schiavo could then file a petition for divorce and turn over the funds for her upkeep to the Secretary of State of Florida.

That should make him happy and allow him to marry his live-in girlfriend and raise their child together.

This is a suggestion that should be placed before the courts.

Thank you for reading this.

I didn't take the time to proof this and it went as is.

Jeb Bush is a real man, can`t help being proud of those Bush Boys.

This has been an emotional roller-coaster for me, you see, I was once in Terri's place and if I hadn't had a loving caring husband, this could have been me.

I've clled the radio stations in rage and written so many letters that I am probably as drained as the family over this.

I had a subdural hematoma that doctors (3)diagnosed as sinus infection. I carried it for 6 weeks. Finally a doctor at the emergency room ( the pain was unbearable and finally caved ) advised me to get a CAT SCAN ASAP.

The next day got the CAT SCAN and was told to report to the hospital "don't go home, don't pass go or collect your $500.00, just get to the hospital".

I didn't quite follow those instructions, and went home for pj's and toothbrush etc.

I went "under" very shortly after arriving at the hosp and the only thing I recall was someone calling my name, and for another week was in a coma w/life support. I was a little older than Terri, I was 47 but an active person for my age and when I finally came out of my coma, I found out I had suffered a couple of strokes during my surgery, along with developing an Intra-cerebral hemhorrage.

To cut to the chase, I was paralyzed on my left side and was "unable" to communicate, although, I could hear, see, and comprehend what people were telling me and saying, I could not respond.... Terri!!!

I'm now walking, talking, using my left arm and have re-taught my left hand to type.

Granted, she will never have any full function of many things, but "I DID NOT want to DIE" and I was "almost in Divorce court when this happened to me.

Her husband wants her dead and is afraid she may regain her ability to talk.

My husband and I are 32 years married now, and resolved our problems and "he could have offed-me"

It takes all kinds of people in this world and Terri has a long hard battle, but at least maybe she will be allowed some form of Re-hab and will become a loving, responsive person and will continue to live a life filled w/the love her family apparently has for her.

Please pray that the time has not been too long for her to "rehydrate and regain her body functions" again.

God Bless all in the Fla group that worked so furiously to help this poor woman, who could not speak for herself, and God bless those from the other states who flooded the air-waves and news media.

I'm a wreck and need some rest, but God HEARS us.... Bless you all.
