That's probably the most important thing we need to do. But we also need to work on public opinion. Apparently a large portion (I think 9% is large in this case) believe it's okay to starve and dehydrate vulnerable people to death. It would appear Smiley's entire family approves of this torture. If any of them objected, we haven't heard from them.
I'm outraged that people are being starved and dehydrated to death. Regardless of who they are, or what excuse was used, or if they are partly or fully responsible for their condition, or if I know their entire life story, or if I like them or dislike them. None of that makes any difference to me. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
We could join over there and start a public awareness effort. They may be GOP lovers but time's over for that nonsense. What have they done for you lately?
zero.

The best way I can think of to get the word out to many folks about the horrors of dehydration/starvation is by writing letters to editors, calling talk shows and posting board. If anyone has any other ideas, I'm all ears.
