Hello FR,

Yes, there has been GREAT NEWS TODAY ABOUT TERRI! Surely goodness and mercy WILL follow her all the days of her life...

I hope the Lead Moderator allows this Very Special "THANK YOU" thread (that I intend to email to Gov Bush) to stay in the sidebar, so all of you will see it and post on it.

But first, following all the recent (and totally unwarranted) Jeb-bashing on this forum, some people (especially new people) may desperately need this review and mini-lesson about Gov Bush:

(1) For those of you who doubted Gov Bush's DESIRE to HELP in this matter, SHAME ON YOU! Here is the full text of the letter Gov Bush wrote early on to Judge Greer, for those of you who missed it:

From JEB to FR: Full text of Gov Bush's letter to Judge Greer re: Terri Schiavo

(2) For those of you who did not know that Gov Bush has been, and continues to be, "FL's Favorite Governor", for MANY GOOD REASONS, check out these two articles about the guy FL is proud to call its Favorite Gov:

Jeb quietly goes to the rescue of a 2-year-old

Golf Links Bush, Boy [Jeb shares his views, and golf, with autistic teen]

(3) For those of you who are new, and shocked that the governor of the 4th largest state is ALWAYS interested in listening to the people he serves, check out these two articles:

Governor hears Polk County citizens' woes, both strange and sad [Jeb listens..whoa! What an earful!]

World Wide Jeb

(4) Finally, for those handful of posters who actually DOUBTED the JEB-emails I posted on two threads were NOT from him - well, you have missed half a dozen such threads over the years, and believe me, ALL those emails are from him.

And, I am not the only person he has written to over the years. In fact, as I recall, a number of those other people who've heard from him over the years posted here, on this thread I started less than 1 day after Election Day 2002, when Gov Bush was re-elected in a landslide (and made history as FL's first GOP gov to win a 2nd term):

HEY! Q: Guess who took the time to write a special thank-you note to FR posters? A: JEB BUSH!

OK, mini-lesson over!

Now -- if you have something NICE and POSITIVE to say to FL's Favorite Governor (such as: "THANK YOU"), then please do reply on this thread. My own thank you to Gov Bush is posted in my reply #1 below.

Have a BEAUTIFUL DAY!
summer :)

RE: JEB'S EMAILS TO ME

"were NOT from him"

in my above post should have read:

"were ACTUALLY from him"

Gov Bush,

Thank you for humiliating Bill, Hillary, and Terry McAwful back in 2002... Much appreciated!


Now, how about getting Connie Mack to come out of retirement to run for Graham's seat? The current field is looking weak.

PS Gov Bush, ambrose supported you against the Jeb-BASHERS throughout this Terri matter. summer

To Governor Jeb,

Thank you for upholding the law and for calling the special, emergency session.

Legal isn't always moral, but thanks to you and the Flordia legislators, y-all have made "moral" legal.

It's been a stellar day for God and life. Your brother signed the ban against partial birth abortion.

Be sure to make time tonight to watch your dear and beloved Mother on LKL! It's a must see.

Praise God for you, our President, #41 and his Mrs, and the entire Bush family.

Thank you, Governor Bush, for doing the *RIGHT* thing for Terri Schiavo! Keep *FIGHTING* the good fight against Hitlery and her *GOONS*!

[First Amendment]

Dear Governor Bush,
Thank you for your actions in protecting the life of Terri Schindler. I wish other elected leaders were as courageous and right minded as you. If I lived in Florida, you would definitely get my vote!
May God Bless you,

[MarMema]

Thank You Jeb Bush. You have my lifelong pledge of loyalty.
May God continue to Bless you and honor you with His work.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Dear Governor Bush:

THANK YOU for intervening today in Terri's life. Thank you for SAVING her life. Thank you for taking a stand for all life, the born and the unborn.

I've never been so proud to be an American, a Republican, and a Freeper as today.

May God richly bless you and your family.

Thank you Governor Bush! I hope Terri is saved in the end, because this is sure to be challenged by those with no conscience.

Also, thank you to those in the Florida Legislature that voted to save Terri's life.

[Krodg]

The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:

The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

Num 6: 24-26

May all that fought for Terri find peace in the Lord tonight.

Thank you Govenor Bush, fellow Freepers and all those in FL who fought for the rights of those unable to speak for themselves.

God Bless

A MAJOR THANK YOU 'bump-to-the-top' to Gov. Jeb Bush, future President of the United States :-)

[GeronL]

I heard Connie Mack III would run for that seat, or something

[Qwinn]

Thank you very kindly, Governor Bush :) I am happy to say I knew you were one of the good guys all along.

Oh, and by the way, pass on thanks to your brother for the partial birth abortion ban :) Between the two of you, you've accomplished more for the pro-life movement than I've witnessed in my lifetime.

I'm an agnostic, so I don't say this often... but you've earned it. God Bless.

Thanks, summer, for the update.

I'm sure glad Jeb & Co. found a way to stop a senseless murder.


Thank you Governor Bush. Thanks to all who kept up the vigil.

[JohnHuang2]

MEGA THANK YOU PING....

[ClaimToFame]

Dear Governor Bush,

I am very grateful to you and your staff relating to your efforts to protect and serve Florida residents. You are leading this great State of Florida with strong morals and a conviction to do the “right thing” regardless of the hurdles or opposition you may have faced. It is obvious that you have the very strong conscience, heart and soul that seem to run true in your genealogy. You can count on my support if you choose to run for President in 2008.

Needless to say I am very proud of “my” Governor.

Sincerely,

Susan Claggett
Lake Worth, FL
