One detail could get Terri out of harm's way once and for all.

Helping Terri's get our of harm's way....one more detail on top of the glaring mountain of evidence....surely that's got to catch someone's interest enough to save her from murder......that's what we're all hoping for! : )

"In 1998, Michael petitioned the court to allow him to have Terri's feeding tube removed. Terri's parents fought the request. When the smoke cleared, Judge George Greer of the Sixth Judicial Circuit, Clearwater, Florida, had found that Terri is PVS and that Michael had presented clear and convincing evidence that she would want to die. Judge Greer also refused to permit Terri to receive rehabilitation before her tube was removed, despite credible medical testimony that she might be able to relearn to take nourishment and water by mouth. The Florida Court of Appeals affirmed Judge Greer's ruling. Terri's dehydration began on October 15, 2003.

That would normally have been that. But Terri's case has been anything but normal. Disability-rights activists, Christian conservatives, public-policy advocates (myself included), talk-radio hosts, and Internet bloggers launched an intense grass-roots political campaign to pressure Governor Bush to intervene. In an unprecedented outpouring, people from all over the country responded, sending Bush and other Florida politicians tens of thousands of e-mails, letters, and phone messages, culminating in Terri's Law."

Many people came together. This was from another thread called Dehydration Nation. FV
