In the meantime....here is how you can help.
Several days ago the Pope sent out a statement
Catholic facilities face struggle on end of life http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20040418/1006056.asp
The Pope basically stated that we have a moral obligation to provide humane care to those with cognitive disabilities. Doing anything less and causing harm or death is euthanasia by deliberate omission. Period.
To date, our local newspaper, also being Terri's local newspaper, The St Petersburg Times has not written anything in support of this statement or how in relates to helping Terri.
The St. Petersburg Times is a newspaper that should be in support of Terri, considering she is a resident in the county. They have not done so, and we all know how important positive media coverage is for Terri to have right now.
PLEASE flood the St. Petersburg Times with your emails. PLEASE demand that they begin covering the truth about Terri. Request that they cover the Pope's supportive comments on behalf of Terri. Terri is Catholic. The Pope's statement can be of help to Terri with regard to how unfairly she has been treated. The St. Petersburg Times NEEDS to be writing articles as such.
Place the Pressure on them folks! PLEASE!

Re: Letter to the President and your endorsement. So far, I have received close to 150 + signatures and comments endorsing the request for President Bush to come and visit Terri. The response has been phenomenal and the letters are still pouring in. For this reason, I have extended the deadline until Sunday, April 25th at midnight. Every comment and signature will surely make the difference.
PLEASE Help Terri by encouraging everyone you know to endorse the letter to the President and by continuing to send their endorsement and comments to Fight4Terri@aol.com.
