I posted this before I noticed a new thread.Posting it here again.

I decided just to go ahead and ping to some of the regulars rather than post a new thread. Let's see if we can SPREAD THE WORD....I had a idea the other day of sending up green balloons with "Happy BIRTHDAY TERRI SCHIAVO" ,on her birthday.Well it has been decided we can do it individually at our homes all across America and be fine. Here is what just came in from Florida

"Terri's Hope Balloon Send"

Will take place on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday Nov. 27th at 1 PM EST. Green Balloons will be sent UP, across America and other Countries to show We The People are in "Support of Terri's LIFE and TERRI'S BILL!"

Let's all get some helium green balloons and let them off, tell your friends, neighbors. We can pull this off......we will be letting 40 balloons from our home on Thanksgiving here in Los Angeles. Our balloons will say "Happy Birthday Terri Schiavo Schindler"Even if you can only afford one balloon, it is better than none....ALSO I am going to check with the CITY of LOS ANGELES tomorrow just to be double sure this can be done! Take pictures of your balloons being sent up and post to the site and local newpapers....I am sure to some this is going to seem extreme, but we have all pent up so much emotion, I think it would be good just to do something fun " together".....

Just an idea for the balloon send...

How about printing up a very brief intro to the Terri Schiavo case, along with a pointer to the Terri's Fight website and possibly Free Republic? It could be done on half a page. Attach them to the balloon string. Might generate some interest from those who find the balloons later.

I just got an e-mail and it started to make me think about it too. I may have to decline to participate:
