Hi. I hope I don't offend you and you sound like your heart is in the right place but I would suggest you do what you can legally. Planning to get thrown in jail IMO isn't going to help Terri or support what FR stands for. You also might want to go to FRmail with specific details. Just some suggestions:')

I probably won't do anything that will get me arrested, but I somewhat disagree with you.

Me by myself getting arrested wouldn't make any difference. If, however, a few hundred of us did, it would be a "media event".

There's nothing wrong with that. That is called civil disobedience. There is a long tradition of that in the U.S., both among conservatives and liberals. A lot of very fine people have spent some time in the slammer. Some have been executed.

It is simply a way of getting attention.

In this case, the more attention, the better. There hasn't been enough given to this yet.

Frankly, what I would *like* to do -- but won't -- is something that would get me in a whole lot of trouble.
