I have been reading for over a week now, but not doing anything. Your chortles to me to get off my butt and write an e-mail were successful.

I never watch the show but I sent an e-mail to the Greta show.

Basically I compared Terri to an inmate on death row. I asked if you came across information that if you investigated further, would free a wrongfully imprisoned person on death row, would you take the time to investigate?

If your anser is yes, then please take the time to investigate this issue. I threw in a couple open questions and left my name and address.

Begging people to send an e-mail does work. It is just much easier to read the posts as an observer and not participate. You all got to me, and I am just sorry I didn't take the 5 minutes to send an e-mail earlier.

Now I will challenge others. If you are just reading these posts and not doing anything, take 5 short minutes out of your life and e-mail somebody. All the e-mail address are shown in this message board so it is very easy for you to do. Hey I did it, and you know that you should to. C'mon send out a quick e-mail and include your name and address. Just pick some e-mail address from above and go for it. Just Do It!!!

Thank you for helping us fight for Terri's life! You found out as many of us did that e-mails (and phone calls, faxes, etc.) are really easy once you take the plunge. I can't explain exactly why, but Terri's cause has gotten me to commit to something for the first time in a while. I've been as guilty as others about just sitting on my hands and letting someone else do the work. God has really placed Terri in my heart, and I just feel that each one of our voices help to make hers heard better.

On one of the other threads in the wee hours one morning, the thought popped into my head about the children's story "Horton Hears A Who" by Dr. Seuss. Anyone remember that? Horton is this big but thoughtful elephant who thinks he hears something from this tiny little puffball that's headed for disaster. It turns out that when he listens very closely there are really a whole bunch of little itsy bitsy "whos" screaming for help, "We are here. We are HERE! WE ARE HERE!!" That's how I feel about Terri. She's really in there, whether we have the capability of understanding her or not. She's holding on for dear life, and she needs our help!

So please, all you lurkers out there, help us help Terri. Her life is depending on us right now, and one day any of us could be in her shoes. Who will speak for us if we don't speak for Terri now?
