I'm not saying Jello is going to change them. It's a visual. More people respond to visual displays...they would be more likely to notice, say, 200 boxes of gelatin than they would 200 letters in a stack, simply because of the difference in size.

I know this probably won't change anything. But we all know that the media tends to cover the "stunts" more than real news. Perhaps this 'stunt' will draw their attention to the actual situation and thus a report on 200 boxes of gelatin outside the courthouse turns into a potentially informative report on Terri's situation.

I asked for input and feedback regarding this idea on at least 2 threads and the only responses I got were positives and several comments about red Xs. I'm not upset, but I have had no more than 25 hours of sleep since I first heard about Terri just a little over a week ago. I've been researching, e-mailing, and generally doing anything I can not only to help, but to call attention to Terri's plight.

Have a nice day.

Not only that, but the liberals would have more trouble ranting about the protest when all that food product would be donated to a foor pantry. And if they did, that would put them in a bad light, wouldn't it?

You have made an excellent point here. Forgive me for not understanding the reasons for your approach previously.

Kimmie, I think floriduh voter has a good point concerning hazmat. The powers that be in Florida can twist anything to their advantage (or they will at least try). I would not want to see anyone get in trouble. We can still keep spreading the word and perhaps come up with something else.....and Kimmie, if there is a FReeper of the year award, I nominate you!!!!
