Circuit judge turns down Bush request for Schiavo advocate

Hi, Robert -- thanks for your post & ping. I hope you are having a good weekend.

It does boil down to individual decision and free will, and choosing to live 'close to God' moment by moment, which is the challenge for us. I thank God for His grace and patient teaching!

I do hope and pray that some of those seeking Terri's death will have a change of mind and heart.

It's like Bill O'Reilly stated: The powerful protect the powerful. Some of the are bought off or blackmailed, others have a personal agenda, and they want the power to decide every aspect of our lives.

Look at Supreme Sandra Day O'Conner. She publicly stated that she wasn't about to follow the Constitution, her oath be damned. There was no outcry by the media or out leaders. Why, Johnny Rocker not liking unwed mothers with purple hair drew far, far more outrage. So did Lott's meaningless comment. And let's not even get into Dan Quayle spelling of potato -- the media made it sound like a national crisis (but gave a pass to Clinton struggling with the meaning of "is").

Terri's story is a true horror story of a possible murder attempt; a lying, sadistic husband who torments a disabled wife, even pulls the plug on his own parents and feels good about it; and judges out of a nightmare smiling at him as they declare that Terri, an innocent woman, is to be tortured to death. There are even armed guardss to prevent her from getting the last rites of her religion.

Please continue to contact the Florida House and Senate. Vote on the Wise bill. March is too late. The lawmakers are concerned about people's wishes not being carried out. They pay particular attention to polls and how people vote in those polls, skewed or not. Please blast the Fl lawmakers. Daily, several times daily, esp King and Wise
