I agree with everything you stated above but I don't think online e-petitions are effective. Gov. Bush and members of the Florida legislature have been receiving 1000s of emails, letters and phone calls from concerned citizens. It has had a positive effect in this case and should continue, in my opinion.

There's so much information coming out today, luv2ski ... one item mentioned that over 100,000 on-line signatures had been obtained by Reclaiming America and the petition was going to be delivered to Governor Bush today. The rate of signature was 5,000 an hour. In my opinion, everything is helpful ... numbers do impress the powers that be.

In many cases, e-petitions can be most effective means of persuading the powers that be to do what is right, in this case, not to starve Terri Schiavo. It does have its limitations, however. Prayer is key, especially when all legal recourse fails and your dealing evil people (Terri's husband Michael).
