Florida Legislators:

Gov. Bush -- due in no small part to the avalanche of email/phone calls/faxes/telegrams that he has received from people who Will Not Tolerate This Murder Of Terri Schiavo -- has called you into Special Session due to the extreme wrong being perpetrated upon Theresa 'Terri' Marie Schindler Schiavo in Woodside Hospice, Pinellas Park, Florida.

Having committed no crime, she is being killed by dehydration and starvation.

An Immediate Moratorium must happen TODAY! and we fervently hope that it is not too late to at last get Terri the help -- and restore to her the fluids and food that she has been arbitrarily denied since 2 o'clock last Wednesday afternoon. Not one other person in America -- even the worst convicts on Death Row -- has been so summarily denied the right to live and receive help like Terri has.

Others stand in her shadow.

Many others.

Your actions today Must Set A Precedent -- so this never happens again.

While people like Terri cannot vote -- yet -- their families and friends can, and do, and they/we will make our feelings for those pushing such arbitrary and horrific agendas, known in the voting precincts, throughout Florida and anywhere/everywhere else such horrors dare to surface.
