"They're starving her to death,'' Rev Jesse Jackson said. "They're dehydrating her to death, and that's inhumane. That tube should be reinstated. She is not brain dead; she is brain impaired. There is no rational reason for this to happen.''
Jackson said he spoke by phone today with five senators about creating emergency legislation to stop the starving and dehydration. He also left a message with Governor Bush and spoke with Michael Schiavo about praying with Terri, but was denied.
"There's something about this woman's will to live that's touching the hearts of people around the nation and around the world. Maybe this will raise the issue of how we handle long-term health care.
"We appeal to all involved, who have the power to make a decision, please help us some way to get food and water to Terri. Law must be tempered with mercy to have justice.
"It's a great moment when lions and lambs, black and white, liberals and conservatives can come together and find common ground. We should not stand back and watch her die when we have the means to save her.''

I'm home for lunch break; J. Jackson interview coming up on Hannity radio..
True!!!
Another little aside...
My thought on why the President's numbers are down is NOT because he signed legislation to help Terri.
But directly opposite.
We are hurt and disturbed because we want MORE from him. THAT'S THE REASON HIS POLL NUMBERS ARE DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will NOT speak badly against him though! He is for LIFE !!!
But my heart is upset and sad about this bad situation he has found himself in !!! He needs prayer even more !!!
