Exclamation URGENT! "Coalition Calls Upon Bush to Save Schiavo's Life by Using Police Powers"

Coalition Calls Upon Bush to Save Schiavo's Life by Using Police Powers
Press Conferences in Washington and Tallahassee on March 23 at noon.

To: National Desk

Contact: Joe Giganti, 703-928-9695, Joe@VeritasMediaGroup.com

WASHINGTON, March 23 /Christian Wire Service/ -- The 11th Hour Coalition to Save Terri Schiavo's Life will hold simultaneous press conferences -- Wednesday, March 23 -- at 12 noon in Washington, D.C., and Tallahassee, Fla.

This ad hoc partnership of religious and political organizations -- which will gather in front of the White House and the Florida governor's mansion -- will call on President George W. Bush and Gov. Jeb Bush to use their executive powers to protect Terri Schiavo from starvation.

"There are two people in the United States who can save Terri Schiavo's life right now. The president of the United States and the governor of Florida have the authority to use the police services at their disposal to take Terri into protective custody, restore her food and hydration, and arrest anyone who would interfere," said Dr. Paul Schenck, executive director of the National Pro-Life Action Center on Capitol Hill. "For the sake of Terri's life, we cannot afford to wait while the courts dither over jurisdiction."

While you are working this, please also contact the 7 senators listed in post #34 here:

There is still a GOOD chance the Florida Senate will pass a bill that will immediately restore the tube. They could do it today and THEY MUST do it today for there is no tomorrow in the senate.

This is exactly what needs to be done. I especially like the idea of arresting anyone who interferes (particularly any of these criminal judges). It's time to use the executive power to check the judiciary. It would be a long overdue message about who runs this country - the people not the judges.

Someone coming to the board for the first time will miss some important threads.

So the threads with instructions on how to take some action are visited frequently by one of us. And we post 'bump.' Bump gets it up to the top of the first page of threads.

You are asking Bush to commit a crime. He does not have the authority to intercede in a non-criminal matter.

Neither does the President.
