Four Senators Now 'Flexible' on Terri Bill, Says Jesse Jackson
Four Florida state senators who opposed a bill last week to save Terri Schiavo now say they're "flexible" on a new version of the measure, according to the Rev. Jesse Jackson - who lobbied them on Tuesday to change their minds.
"We talked with four of them who are flexible now, who were not flexible before," Jackson told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" - in a development that could mean there's now enough support to pass a bill to rescue Schiavo.
Jackson, who zeroed in on the Florida Legislature's black caucus, acknowleged that his first words to one of the senators was "I need you bad."
"I thought that the guy, in the instance I was talking with, he [had] morally correct positions, ethical, sound positions, but he couldn't support the last legislation," the civil rights leader said.
Earlier in the day Jackson said he had persuaded two senators to reconsider, telling Hannity's ABC radio audience: "They've made that commitment. I hope it turns into something concrete, signed by morningtime."
Jackson said he had contacted Gov. Jeb Bush with the hope of mounting a joint effort, saying, "If we get two - with the help of Gov. Jeb Bush, we can get three."
As of late yesterday, Gov. Bush had not returned Jackson's call.

We need to:
1) Urge the Florida Senate to act immediately

2) Urge Jeb Bush to work with Jesse Jackson on this. If Jeb wants to do all he can do, he needs to do ALL he can do.
