A bump for a powerful article. We must stop this madness. It is time to go down and take action.

I have been trying all month to scrape the money together to get to Florida. There is not enough money to get me there. It is maddening as hell to know that there are people in Florida who have not yet shown up and put themselves in the vigil. I nearly went to the hospital this week due to illness, but I am still trying to find a way to get to Florida. If you are in Florida, get to the vigil. Show up now. Do something to stop this. The time has come, and WE - not the Governor, not the Judges, not the attorneys - will be judged.

God give us strength to stand and protest, to make ourselves heard, to put our bodies in the way for you.

I share your frustration, dandelion. And yours, Republic. But...Good people can't do wrong right. Mayhem with good intentions is most unlikely to save Terri Schiavo.
If Jeb Bush is the worst sort of politician, he's aware that this is a cardinal moment in his career and the press is salivating like hyenas, waiting to run "Disabled woman starved to death on Jeb's watch." Every gruesome detail of her ordeal will make every front page. He'll do something to avoid that.
And if he is a better man, he is going to do something and let the chips fall, to save her life.
Either way, give him time. He can issue orders to the people who DO know how to do these things. They'll go there holding papers, not hostages, and the results will bring no peril to anyone.

May I humbly suggest a change in tactics, I feel it is timely and powerful.

We have prayed, cried, screamed, protested and sought His Face. We can propell our faith into power by starting to praise Him. What did Paul do when locked in prison (so similar to Terri), he "PRAISED" and the doors were opened. Release your faith freepers, praise Him with no regard to outcome.
