I'm in - I did daytime fasts for a month following the 2000 presidential election. It's time for fasting and prayer, and I think that it makes a difference on how we listen to God. Instead of reaching for a handful of peanuts (yum) I'd reach for God.

We need a HUNGER STRIKE.

Starting the day Terri's tube gets pulled, until she is given relief or release. It would be dangerous, but there are ways to do it effectively, and it would get the media's attention. I've researched this option before when Terri was in trouble in January, but I don't have the funds to get to Florida this time. A hunger strike would need to be done out in public, in front of the Hospice where Terri is being held.

It would have to be a symbolic, real time starvation of a woman about Terri's age, so the world could see what happens to a woman of forty when she starves to death... I'm available, but I don't know how to get to without selling everything I've got. It would also get attention for the hunger striker/strikers to blog the whole thing on the web, describing in detail the hunger that accompanies such a horrible act...

Anyhow, it's a thought. What would liberals do???

Unfortunately nothing. They can only help Terri if she had been unlawfully occupying a tree...

I'm 43, problem is that I've been under the weather for the last several months. Not eating would work for me...(my grown up kids are being a pain in the ass about the the food intake)

If it's something you would like to do I'm sure the funds could be raised.

If it's something you would like to do I'm sure the funds could be raised for your travel expense, etc.

What would liberals do???

Liberals would laugh in your face, dance around you, and declare victory for their cause. They would say, "Hey, Hey, elect those Republicans. We win anyway!" They have stacked all the agencies of government with activist liberals determined to previal regardless of who wins elections.
