>> At the same time, we need to do everything in our power to make the American people aware of what is really going on here.

On that, we have done amazingly well. Any public interest group will tell you, it is a very difficult thing to get a message out to millions of people. Yet undoubtedly millions of people across the country have become aware of Terri's plight, and most are sympathetic. You can see it in the level of news coverage everywhere, and in the growing respect for Terri's case.

I know several persons who were completely unsympathetic simply because they'd heard the standard media line. To them it seemed like another routine case of disconnecting a brain-dead patient. Their view changed dramatically when they learned the facts. Even the media have stopped using their more outrageous lies and adjectives like "comatose." Tell any woman you know about MS refusing to treat Terri's urinary tract infection, or about him stealing her engagement and wedding ring and melting them down to make a ring for himself. They don't need to know any more to figure out who's abusing whom.

We're doing okay, and God bless everyone who's helped. Pour it on!

The power of dedicated and motivated people, coupled with the incredible power of the net, is indeed awesome, and vastly underestimated by most, still.
