Day Two Without Food or Water for Terri Schiavo

Here is anAn Email from Troy Newman, Operation Rescue:

Update on activities and events March 20, 2005

Terri Schiavo has been denied nutrition and hydration for two days, by order of Judge George Greer. The Bible is clear that Christian love is expressed in action. Matthew 25 tell us that when we offer a cup of water to a thirsty soul in an attempt to alleviate his suffering, it is like we are doing it for Christ Himself.

"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." - Matthew 25:40

It is in that spirit of Christian love that Operation Rescue stands ready to peacefully offer nutrition and hydration to Terri Schiavo.

However, out of respect for the wishes of Terri's family, we will refrain from doing so until such a time as seems correct and appropriate.

Currently there are negotiations in Congress and the Florida Legislature in which we have every confidence and we want to give those an opportunity to work. Because of that, we are going to Tallahassee for the next few days to continue prayer and lobbying efforts on Terri's behalf.

US House to Reconvene at 12:01 AM for Terri's Bill
In an unprecedented move, the United States House of Representatives convened today at 1 PM and immediately went into recess until 12:01 AM. This was a tactical move to prevent certain representatives from killing a bill designed to give Terry Schiavo standing in Federal Court.

At this time, the House is scheduled to vote on the measure at one minute past midnight and the Senate is to take up the measure sometime thereafter. President George W. Bush has already left his Crawford, TX, ranch to return to Washington so he will be available to sign the bill, if passed by Congress.

We urge you to pray for this measure and contact members of the US House (http://www.house.gov/) and Senate (http://www.senate.gov/) and urge them to support Terri's Bill.
