Bill May Halt Starvation of Disabled Woman
October
20, 2003
Mathew D. Staver
Tallahassee,
Florida – The Florida House
passed a bill late last night that
will give Governor
Bush the power to order Terri
Schiavo's feeding tube reinserted.
The bill, sponsored by Speaker
Johnnie Byrd, passed by a vote of
68-23. More details are available on
the Worldnet
Daily and Orlando
Sentinel web sites.
The
Senate
debates the bill today. After intially
opposing the bill, Senate President Jim
King now supports its passage. Governor
Bush, who has publicly promised to
take any legal measures to stop
Terri's death by starvation, has
stated that he will sign the measure
into law.
If
you have not done so already, call
Senate President King at 850-487-5229
and ask him to be sure the Senate acts
quickly, or Terri will starve to death
very soon, since this is her
seventh day without food or water! To
reach any other Senator call
850-488-4371. If you are a Florida
resident, you can find your state
Senator by going to the Liberty
Counsel web site, scroll to the
bottom center box that says
"Contact Lawmakers" and
enter your zipcode in the box labelled
"Find State Officials."
We
should all send a "thank
you" letter to Speaker
Byrd for his active roll in
sponsoring and pushing for this bill
in the House. His office address is
420 Capitol, 402 South Monroe Street,
Tallahassee, FL 32399-1300.
Reclaiming
America Conference
I
will be speaking at the Reclaiming
America Conference at Coral Ridge
Presbyterian Church in Ft. Lauderdale
on Saturday, October 25. Please pray
that those attending the conference
will be inspired to become even more
involved in restoring the culture. I
am convinced that one person can make
a difference! Come to the conference
and find out how to make a greater
impact on the future of our great
nation.
Restoring
the culture one case at a time by
advancing religious freedom,
the sanctity of human life and the
traditional family
