I would like to encourage all of those would fought for the life of Terri Schiavo to help June Maxam, editor of North County Gazette, and co-publisher of The Empire Journal.
June's father suffered a massive stroke at Eden Park Nursing Home in Glens Falls. He was not hospitalized - instead the nursing home claims they are "maintaining his dignity" and plan to place him in a hospice, withhold all nutrition and hydration and wait for him to die.
June asks that persons wishing to tell the nursing home of their views on altering health care proxies and death by dehydration may call the Eden Park Health Care Center in Glens Falls at 518-793-5163 or send a fax to 518-793-5165.

Done. Thanks for providing the phone number.
Please pray. My Sunday school teacher's mil was a an accident yesterday and has bleeding on the brain. She's in her 80's , they're going to do surgery tomorrow to stop the bleeding unless her condition warrants it today. Already my friend is facing the battle that the mil's insurance does not want to pay for rehab.
Maybe Jay Sekulow (aclj.org) could help June out:

I read the article, but I'm confused on a couple of points. Is the reason the nursing home has a problem with June Maxim because she is pro life and has been a strong supporter of these issues, or because her father's will states his sister is in charge? Legally, Ms. Maxim is next of kin. Does her aunt approve of starving and dehydrating her brother?
I'll see what I can do about phoning or writing this nursing home, but doesn't Ms. Maxim have legal recourse? Not only is this tragic, but it's also horribly ironic. The devil is always busy : (
