Dr. Gary Cass, Executive Director of the Center for Reclaiming America, will deliver the names of 100,000 people who have signed an online petition on behalf of Terri Schiavo at a press conference, Friday, February 25, at Talahassee, Florida's state capitol.
Dr. Cass will deliver the names on the petition, generated in just two days, to a representative of the Governor and will address members of the media at the press conference. The petition urges Governor Jeb Bush "to take immediate action to stop the forced starvation of Terri Schiavo." "The fact that this petition campaign, which began just yesterday, has generated online signatures at the enormous rate of 5,000 per hour, underscores how passionate people across the nation feel about this issue," said Dr. Cass. "They want to see Terri spared from the cruel and inhumane death by starvation and dehydration that may commence tomorrow at 5 p.m."
"We appreciate the energy, concern, and effort which the Governor has already expended in seeking a way to save Terri's live," Cass said. "These petitions demonstrate the fervent concern in Florida and across the nation that Gov. Bush act to save Terri's life."
Cass also urged that calls and e-mails on Schiavo's behalf be sent to Florida Governor Jeb Bush (at 850.488.4441 or jeb.bush@myflorida.com); Senate President Tom Lee (at 850.487.5072 or lee.tom.web@flsenate.gov); and House Speaker Allan G. Bense (at 850.488.1450 or speaker@myfloridahouse.gov.)
The Center for Reclaiming America is an outreach of Coral Ridge Ministries, the television and radio ministry of Dr. D. James Kennedy.
