Thank you for all the work you did. Sounds like you tried to run the same gauntlet I did, only to run into the same obstacles.
I think we all need to get in contact with the media and our representatives. And, I think FReepers should be calling that hospice to let them know that this matter will not be quietly swept under the rug. We need to move on this and do it fast, because she's been off that feeding tube for over a week now.
The public needs to know that a non-terminal patient with no brain-damage at all, who was merely recovering from surgery, is now being starved to death. (Not that it should matter whether or not Mae Magouirk is brain-damaged. Terri had just as much right to live. But, to the average "sheeple" this will matter, IMHO. This will allow them to see how quickly we've already begun to slide down the slippery slope.)
And, I think Frist deserves to get an earfull too.
Does anyone here have a list of media contacts? We need to get the word out quickly.
And, even though I know this may upset some FReepers, I am through playing politics. If people like Jesse Jackson and Ralph Nader are willing to help, then I think they should be contacted too. I refuse to play partisan politics while someone is being murdered! I will not do that!
I AGREE. Leave Politics out of it. Euthanasia is a HUMAN RIGHTS issue that superceeds, religious and political boundries. Get everybody, Jessy Jackson I though was the best speaker for Terri, even though he arrived on the sceen to late.
Ditto. (Where's felos?)
