The American people, by polls, support the Democrat minority in Congress on killing poor Terri.

I understand the spirit in which you wrote to areafiftyone. The American people are sadly underinformed about the facts and until they know the facts, polling them is worse than useless.

Were the American people rightly informed and informed in depth about the facts of the case, I would like to see another few polls on the subject.

Has anyone considered how many Americans are struggling with guilt over pulling the plug on their own elder relatives, or ambivalence on how to treat their still alive but aged and very ill parents or other relatives? That surely seemed to influence more than a couple Congressmen.

If you wish to change a few of those poll numbers, simply let people know the circumstances under which "husband" suddenly recalled seven years after the accident that Terri didn't want "to live this way" as well as his conflict of interests, and that the whole case against her life is based on him and what he has and has not done. Everyone I discussed this case with over the weekend now agrees with me that further investigation is merited. I honestly don't know what the outcome of such investigation would be, but this judge denying so much of the potential evidence, and accepting the "hearsay" of the "husband" and denying such revealing examinations as PET scans is very troubling for me, especially in the light of news reports of how lucid Terry may sometimes be.

Pray for this nation.
