If you come across any others and have the time to ping me with a link, I would be most appreciative. Thanks.

With tears upon returning from seeing our priest to talk, I see that you all have not only held the line, but advanced.

we must resort to pumping up the numbers on an online poll for some Tampa Bay television stationActually choose to pumping numbers. I happen to like freeping, and so do lots of freepers...
This poll means nothing and has no real value
We don't know that yet. You never know when you do a small thing....sometimes it may make a difference down the road. Have you never had that experience?

I think I did between 50 and 100 :-). Freepers rock! They are smart, too. I was wishing I hadn't cancelled my aol, and lo and behold, somebody came up with how to get around the 1-hour limit!

Sure thing, e-s.
Done.
Think of it, though.
When we actually have to vote for something like this?
How long for this world can we all really be.

Instead of debating the merits of the poll, or spending our time on it -- I am of the opinion that it should be removed from the website altogether. I sent the following e-mail to
General Manager Kirk Read, kread@tbo.com , (813) 259-8353 To Whom It May Concern:
It has come to my attention that you are currently conducting an on-line poll with regard to the Terri Schiavo case. I would like to urge you to remove it. Of course, courtesy of the First Amendment, you have the right to conduct any "poll" you choose. There are two things regarding this action that concern me.
The first... as you well know, this poll is unscientific and subject to manipulation. In such a passionate issue as this, it is understandable that proponents on both sides would hope the numbers would reflect their particular position. Some believe so passionately that they would find ways -- which are quite easy -- to skew the numbers to their particular bias. Thus, you have a race, as it were, to see who is the fastest "mouser". In this case, to the best of my recollection, when I voted there was no mention of this fact. Surely a disclaimer, at least, would be in order.
The second...is purely emotional. Human, if you will. I ask, how would you feel if you were the Schindlers? If the most important person in your life were suddenly nothing more than a poll question? Yes, people in the entertainment and political arenas are subjected to this, but it is a lifestyle they have chosen for themselves. These poor people, desperately trying to save their precious daughter's life, log on to your website could see that 60% or so of the population think their daughter should be denied food and hydration. Certainly, their emotional state must be fragile at this time. Imagine how they must feel....and in their distraught state (or simply from unfamiliarity with computer function) they see these numbers that have been skewed. What are they to think? I urge you to consider removing the unscientific, insensitive poll from your site.
Sincerely,
Kimberly
