I have written, I have emailed, and I've gotten on the phone with senators and tried not to break down in tears.
I have anxiety issues and I don't do well talking to people I don't know, but I gave it my best shot, even though I was shaking and felt like I was going to throw up.
I won't stop after this is over either. Several people I know are in the planning stages of something big and I'm going to see this through to the end. No more sitting back hoping someone else is taking care of it for me.
Right now I can't do any of those things since it's 11:30 at night and I have children to watch over. I can however, pray when the Lord tells me it is time to pray!

You have no reason to defend yourself to anyone, you've been here and you have done alot as we all have, you have no one to answer to, if that poster doesn't like how we discuss stuff here, he/she can find another blog, I am sure there are others where they never say a single prayer.
Just doing what you've done will help you do it the next time you need to write or call. I am the same way at times, but when you get on fire about something, you'll find the strength. I am not good on the phone, either. But others are. We all do our part. :)
Feel proud of what you've done. No matter what happens we have fought hard. I only had a week to really get into this. I haven't been on the other Terri threads because I was staying away from the computer. For those who have been on them for a long time, bless you. I know you must hurt terribly. I hurt terribly. You must hurt even more.
And Jesus said, "Well done, my good & faithful servant!" I, too, am very proud of you for speaking up & taking action even though you were fearful. God gives us strength & courage. (hear that, Gov. Bush???) lol
