"Talk to the conditional attorneys that have spoken out for Terri to look at helping us pass a bill/amendment and how to make it foolproof ( or should I say Judgeproof)."
There was Jay Sekulow (Sp?) and one other whose name I could never seem to catch. On Hannity, he was particularly sympathetic to Terri's parents and said he couldn't as a parent, imagine this being done to his child. They are BOTH excellent and have a GOOD knowledge of the law.
Mel Gibson would be an EXCELLENT spokesman, I totally agree. He is sharp and surprisingly articulate. Also, Patricia Heaton.
I would probably make goals one and two equal. That is my humble suggestion.
Limiting the power of judges is an excellent goal. We might be taking on enough with goals one and two, I don't know.
It must a coalition across the board of conservatives, and supporters of Terri in the middle and on the left. This cannot be perceived as an effort on the part of people on the religious right ONLY or it will FAIL. That would be my strongest point.
It should be an open endeavor and everyones opinions and ideas should be encouraged. No person or group should feel alienated or left out.
Another was Judge Roy Moore. Also need to contact Mark Levin.
I have no problem at all making it more than the religious right. To me that is a non issue, but if you think we need to spell it out, that's fine with me.
We could probably get Laura Ingraham to back us too. I have been listening to Mike Savage. He certainly isn't very religious, but I liked the way he handled Terri's case better than everyone else. I could yell and scream right along with him. One caller said she had stopped listening to him, because he was always calling people names. She said in htis case, he wasn't calling Mike S. and Felos nasty enough names.
At the vigil there were other groups there. "Not Dead Yet", "Non-Christians for Terri", etc. Actually, I was surprised that there weren't more religious groups there. The leaders all seemed to be ignoring what happened to Terri.
The other lawyer you mention was David Boies, he was very much on Terri's side (Boies was Gore's attorney in the 2000 election fiasco).
