Press Release

Special Session Called in State Legislature

Speaker of the House, Johnnie Byrd to introduce “Terri’s Bill”

Clearwater, FL October 19, 2003: The Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, has called a special session of the Florida Legislature for Monday, October 20, 2003. At that time, Florida’s Speaker of the House will introduce “Terri’s Bill”. By Florida law, two thirds majority vote are required to have a topic entered.

Volunteers with the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation have learned that Senate President, Jim King is against this bill.

The Bill would put an immediate moratorium on all dehydration and starvation deaths currently pending in Florida.

We have come to a time when the merchants of death have created a constitutional crisis and a justice gridlock, while the rightful life of Florida’s disabled and vulnerable citizens tragically hang on Terri Schindler-Schiavo’s court ordered dehydration and starvation death.

We urge all concerned Floridians to contact their Senators and State House members to vote for Terri’s bill.

Time is short.

More prayers for Terri....

And it is up!! here

[MarMema]

You are good, and JEB ROCKS, Imo. :-)

I can't wait to email Jeb. If he pulls this off, I think we should all send him flowers.

[katnip]

Hurray!

Hope!

[katnip]

You need to post this in breaking news!

[MarMema]

someone already did....

No matter what the outcome, Jeb has made a tremendous step out into the hitherlands on this one. Huge, in fact.

Dehydration is legal in every state except Illinois, I believe. To outlaw it would be a huge, huge prolife victory against the culture of death and might save Terri too.

To even suggest it is a huge step against them, I think.

I am very impressed with Jeb. I am praying for Terri to not suffer.

"And it is up!! here"

Glad to see the story put online AND the picture of Terri.

But Cynthia Capers is wrong.....Terri is NOT in a 'vegetative state. She should learn the facts before writing any articles!

[honeygrl]

"I too am impressed - I don't know if there is another governor in the country who would go as far as he has. God give him strength; God be with Terri."

Odd.. and allll those people around these threads insisting that Jeb could do nothing to help. Wonder if they are going to come around and admit they were wrong?

Well this is a long shot and I did believe Jeb could do nothing to help, but I did not bash him for it.

ping for the info the last email you posted was looking for!

[honeygrl]

There was a vocal group that wanted everyone to leave Jeb alone and saying he could not help. It seems this proves them wrong though. Apparently, all the badgering him worked!
