Uh huh. THis is really going to help the good guys in government--getting lots and lots of powder mailed to them, jamming up the mailrooms. Hello, do you remember anthrax?

This is a problem that must be fixed at the legislative level. If there are laws that say that this may not be done, then the governors would have power to act when the court exceeds its moral and legal authority. The problem here is not that Jeb Bush doesn't know the right thing to do. The problem is that he cannot act because every level of court that has seen this has either ruled to support Greer's ruling or has refused to hear it. He has no legal remedy at hand. Sending him jello isn't going to change it. It'll make life harder for the people who have to sort the wheat from the chaff in the mailroom.

Save your ninety-nine cents...or better yet, spend it on stamps and send letters to your legislative representatives at the state and federal letter. If you don't know that your state forbids withholding nutrition and water from non-terminal patients, then you are certainly wasting your time and tax dollars when you mail a box of jello.

Jello wouldn't save Terri now. Legislation to forbid this kind of murder will save the next person to be in this position. (And there are probably dozens across the country whose names we do not know. My husband's grandmother was one of them--killed by having her IV turned off because she wasn't dying fast enough to suit the nursing home staff.)

A woman is being starved to death by government, and you would prefer to run-off-at-the-mouth oblivious to the fact that the state of Florida says Terri must die because she allegedly cannot accept nourishment orally.

Jello was their operative word.

Jeb has repeatedly supported the Florida 'system', and his refusal his to stop this barbaric murder is an abomination of the lowest order. He is a disgrace to the Citizens of Florida, and to his Roman Catholic faith.

Will America clog up the mailrooms of the Florida capital?

Let's hope so.

Short of bringing a loaded weapon to the capital to get real attention from those who have stolen our government from us, a package of the material the state of Florida is refusing to feed Terri is hardly threatening, and very remindful of just how angry America is with government's decision to torture an American Citizen whose only 'fault' lies in her inability to speak for herself.

May God's judgment come swiftly to those who have actively or passively harmed Terri Schindler Sharivo.

Or I might rely upon a comment my Chinese friends are want to say when vexing someone, "May they live in interesting times."

Sooner or later we will all get our just deserts. I would like to observe the retribution in this case.

Bump to the sanity you expressed in #4... Terri's situation is tragic but Jeb's hands are tied. We can't have governors acting like kings and overriding the law each time it suited their own personal agenda. We might like it momentarily when that agenda is one we agree with, but it would be a horrendous precedent to hand over to liberal governors.

I hope folks don't send jello and cause a huge and futile difficulty for the employees at the post offices :-(
