I'm seeing videos of Terri on tv, & while they show that she is not brain dead, there are better videos. I'm going to e-mail some media outlets, and give them a link to a better video of Terri.
I hope some of you will join me in this effort and pick out your favorite video of Terri, and send a few media outlets the link.
My favorite video of Terri is the one where she laughs when her dad reminds her of when she used to tease her mother, and roll her eye (Terri had "lazy eye").
If anyone wants to see this video, provided by bjs1779, which only takes a minute, visit:

Then go to Post #28 & click the link.
Keep in mind when Terri makes sounds, she is attempting to talk, but needs therapy in order to talk. Even without therapy, Terri can say a few words. Sadly, Michael won't allow her to have therapy.
LET ME TELL YOU THIS: There was a poster on another board, who actually started an anti-Terry thread, and after seeing this video admitted that it was compelling and that he never saw this video before.
Floridians to call their representatives in support of HB 701, Withdrawing Nutrition and Hydration.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON HB 701,
THE FLORIDA STARVATION AND DEHYDRATION OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES PREVENTION ACT
QUESTIONS:
1. What can be done now that the Florida Supreme Court has struck down Terris Law under which Governor Jeb Bush directed that she be given food and fluids?
2. What can be done that the Florida courts wont strike down?
3. Since the courts in the Schiavo case maintained there was clear and convincing evidence that Teresa Schindler-Schiavo would have rejected nutrition and hydration, how would the proposed bill save her life?
4. Does the bill require nutrition and hydration in every instance in which it has not been specifically rejected by the patient?
5. Some legislators say that since the Florida Supreme Court said denying Terri her food and fluids was a final judgment, and the legislature cant overturn a final judgment, nothing can be done.
FRTL also has a petition for download on prevention of starvation and dehydration.

That's a great idea about sending the best videos of Terri to the media.
