[Trust but Verify]

No, they don't see the danger here. They are on a mission to prove they are right. That's all they care about. Terri is being used by a lot of people. Notice how many of them who harp ceaselessly on an internet forum are leaving their keyboards and going to her aid. It's much easier to bloviate than to actually DO something.

It's disheartening to see a long-time Freeper side with an obvious disruptor. Yep, calling us "religious nuts" is really a great way to argue.

We all do what we can.

Some of us are caring for our frail elderly parents in our homes.

I think it's a good idea for those of us stuck at our keyboards to donate to Terri's foundation.

I really like MomwithHope's idea of emailing President Bush, Gov. Bush, and Sen. Frist to ask that the marshals be sent in.

Brings back fond memories of Eisenhower's presidency

Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas

The Eisenhower Administration responded - and with a great deal of foresight - to the fact that U.S. marshals were the logical instruments to enforce public school integration.  As more and more efforts to integrate public schools in the South resulted in strident white opposition, the Eisenhower Justice Department began training a sizable group of U.S. marshals to be used in the South.  Herbert Brownell's successor as attorney general, William Rogers, trained an elite crew of 600 marshals whose significance reached well beyond the Eisenhower years. 

When President John Kennedy needed marshals to enforce school integration at the University of Mississippi and the University of Alabama in the early 1960s, he was able to draw on the elite crew of U.S. marshals trained under Eisenhower.

Hope you don't mind if I stay at my keyboard while I email those folks.

I just did something

I asked these guys to use their powers to stop Terri's starvation.

President Bush – president@whitehouse.gov
Governor Bush – jeb.bush@myflorida.com
Bill Frist - http://frist.senate.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=AboutSenatorFrist.ContactForm

Have there been any new developments since the federal appeals court made its decision?

I guess you heard that Ralph Nader has joined the hordes of people who are using Terri.

Gosh! Ralph Nader must have morphed into a "right-wing, religious fanatic.
