"Never , in my life have I been more involved in a grassroots effort than this!"

Same here Polly, and I have to reluctantly confess that if we lose this fight for Terri, if Terri loses this fight, I'm not sure I could ever put my heart and soul so much into such an effort again.

What I saw with the legislature in Florida really gave me hope. Seeing all the people fighting for Terri restored my faith in Americans. If all should be lost because the court holds the trump card, I will completely lose faith that our form of government can be redeemed. If the voice of the people is removed and the legislators aren't allowed to legislate nor the executive to order, then our constitutional republic has failed and we are at the mercy of a tyrannical judiciary that is blind to both justice and mercy.

"Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief!" (Mk. 9:24)

Yes, but. Now comes the Fox News Poll telling us that people really seem to dislike Terri, consider her a "useless vegetable," and WANT HER DEAD!!! This poll will not be lost on FL officials, I fear.

I too tend to think that the time for any faith in our current government has passed and that Terri's death if it happens may just be the Dread Scott descision that brings about CWII.
