"it is just offering a teeny tiny forum in which to allow members of the public to put their two cents in on the subject. Simple as that"

I'm sorry, but it's not as simple as that.
The station is offering a BOGUS poll, with a MISLEADING question that invites both sides of the issue to answer "Yes". My feeling is that many decent people may have been misled into voting "Yes". I, for one, would love to see Terri not dependent on her feeding tube, and able to eat on her own, and recover.
So, in the strict sense of the question, as it is worded ("Should the feeding tube be removed?"), I could have answered "Yes".

This is a FRAUDULENT poll, and merely a public relations gimmick to garner as many "Yes" votes as possible. IMHO.

When the poll first appeared on TBO.com, there were a ton of "Yes" votes. I believe the numbers were 298-88 , Yes-No. VERY SUSPICIOUS that in the early hours of this 'poll', there were so many "Yes" votes, and a much SLOWER rate since then.

Sorry to go on so long, but to answer your objections, I would simply summarize this way:

We are in a BATTLE in this country between the forces of LIFE, and the forces of DEATH.
Or to put it another way, the forces of LIGHT and the forces of DARKNESS.

In our own nation, it's a battle that's been raging for decades.
In the world, it's a battle from time immemorial.

Felos, Greer and company represent the proposition that some lives are more "useful" than others. Felos and his ilk make no bones about it. They support the killing of Terri Schindler-Schiavo by starvation and dehydration!
It's right out there in the open.

What we are trying to do, by voting in this 'poll', is to attempt to roll back the forces of DEATH just a little bit.
To try to EDUCATE the good people who might be listening in Florida and around the country, and alert them to the creeping evil that is working its way through our society.

The forces of death have been entrenched in our legal and educational institutions for decades.
The media have consistently bowed to them and applauded their every utterance.
What else can we do but shout "THIS IS WRONG!"
What else can we do but to give witness to Life.

So, in my opinion, I don't believe this to be an "insignificant poll".

Say "NO" to death.
Vote.

We are in a BATTLE in this country between the forces of LIFE, and the forces of DEATH. Or to put it another way, the forces of LIGHT and the forces of DARKNESS.

You have said what I've been thinking all along. It's time to let the forces of darkness know that they won't win this time!
