"Could the evangelical community do more? Yes, and they should. However, it is very wrong to assert that they have been absent."

I know some of them have spoken out againt the government sponsored starvation of Terri Schiavo, but that's hardly enough, and it's nothing near what they have the potential to do.

These evangelical leaders have been conspicuously absent from rallying the troops and getting behind Terri Schiavo in large numbers, something they can really shine at when motivated to do so. I don't see it happening for Terri Schiavo.

You're right. The Catholic Church (in Florida and elsewhere in the U.S., not the Vatican) and secular conservative groups have also been somewhat feeble in their responses. Were the religious and secular conservative and pro-life forces to encourage mass demonstration to descend upon Pinellas Park, there could conceivably be tens of thousands of people over a weekend. Tallahassee and Washington would be swamped with phone calls, E-mails, and snail mail.
