Just wanted to emerge from lurkdom and give everybody the thumbs up! What y'all are doing makes me proud to be an American, and even a resident of Florida, well, sort of... This isn't one of my major internet stops, I generally only drop in every couple months or so, but I came here 3 nights ago, and couldn't believe what I was reading! Sure, I'd heard on the news about this "comatose" woman whose dear husband only wanted what was best for her, blah blah (yeah, right!) but, to make a long story short, this is the first time I've ever gotten so upset/angry/outraged/hopeful and even e-mailed all my state congress critters about something before! I logged onto a thread yesterday and followed a link to the FL House of Representatives in session discussing Terri's bill and then voting on it, and, well, I've been glued to these threads ever since. Again, great efforts, everybody! God bless Terri and all of you for being there fighting on her behalf!

Hi, phroebe- Welcome to Free Republic :-)

Thank you for your concern about Terri, like you, I couldn't beleive what I was reading- What the court was ordering to be done to her... But Thank God a stop has been put to it.

That being said, feel free to come by and visit us more often. We don't bite. We do occassionally "flame" each other, but it doesn't hurt. There is a great group of people here.

Hey, kiddo....thanks for caring!

Welcome aboard from lurkerdom. These are the kinds of threads and the kind of unified action that make FR a place apart on the web. For all it's flaws, I have never seen a more dedicated and caring group of people when it comes down to what's really important. Kinda gives you a sense of awe to be a part of it all.

Hope you'll come around more often.
