I hope Mr. Webster joins that race.....against Grayson. A lots of us in Florida know he put his heart into saving Terri Schiavo. The disabled woman who lived with a feeding tube 15 yrs before Judge greer order her forced death...

A conservative Southern Baptist, Webster and his wife, Sandy Jordan of Orlando, home-schooled their six children, guided by the Scripture-based teachings of the Institute in Basic Life Principles, a fact that prompted some criticism that Webster's religious views were influencing the public policies of the Legislature. In 1998, he won election to the Florida Senate, where he would become the chief sponsor of legislative attempts to prolong the life of Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged Pinellas County woman who died in 2005 when her feeding tube was removed folowing a protracted legal and political fight in the Legislature, Congress and the Florida Supreme Court

and Mr Schindler "forced" death on his own mother. But of course not EVERY life is worth saving according to "prolife" people. They like to have a "choice" about who to grant life to. So "godlike" don't you think?:-)

Doesn't matter.....In my opinion Dan Webster would be an asset to any county,state, or federal government office.. I'm sure he will follow his heart....in making his decision. Either way, Best of luck to him and his family.

Dan Webster the unethical idiot co-wrote with Charlie Crist the unconstitutional "2003 Terri's Law" that Jeb Bush sign and use to violate Terri Schiavo's Constitutional rights of Self-Determination and the Florida’s Constitution’s separation of powers.

Real ethical people you support to run this state and country, Janice Sanford.

Duh. You don't say? Now, you are saying that Terri 's feeding tube was removed because of her brain damage and not because she wanted the feeding tube removed.

Terri was under Mary Labyak's hospice..... She is over Suncoast Florida hospice-now called The Hospice.....

Mr. Webster explains the need for Terri's Law :

'Death sentence' is unjust
By Daniel Webster
By any definition, Terri Schiavo is alive. She has now been issued a death sentence by the courts.

"Terri's Law" was enacted in October 2003, when a disabled and brain-damaged woman was being starved to death by judicial order in Florida. Terri Schiavo had collapsed in her apartment from lack of oxygen in 1990 at age 26.

Terri had never executed a written living will. There were questions regarding whether the judges in this case had actually followed Florida law. There were differing statements given in court about her end-of-life wishes. There was conflicting medical testimony as to whether rehabilitation could help Terri. This was the climate in which Terri's Law was enacted by the Legislature and signed by the governor.

Florida citizens were justifiably concerned that an innocent, disabled Florida woman was being put to death by court order under extremely questionable and horrific circumstances. If the proceedings that led up to the execution of serial-killer Ted Bundy had been handled in the same way, Bundy's conviction would have been overturned.

Capital felons on trial for their lives in Florida are entitled to independent counsel, competent representation, trial by jury and automatic review of their death-penalty case by the Florida Supreme Court. Yet Terri, utterly innocent of any wrongdoing, received none of these protections.

Additionally, had Bundy been ordered to die slowly by starvation and dehydration (as Terri likely will), his penalty would assuredly have been reversed by the courts as "cruel and unusual" punishment.

The governor has the ability, in a criminal death sentence, to grant clemency. The Legislature only sought to extend the same protection to Terri Schiavo.

The legislative and executive branches have equally important roles to play in protecting the handicapped. The state's duty is to preserve life, not arbitrarily end it.

Florida State Sen. Daniel Webster, R-Winter Garden, was sponsor of the "Terri's Law" legislation.
