Things Are Happening For Terri
Prayer Works, here's the evidence. Tomorrow is the day that Teeri's feeding tube is due to be removed. Now more than ever is the time to act. Good things are happening, but not enough. We have to keep pushing.
First there is this piece from the NYTimes. It is a sympathy piece for the judge. Look, I have no doubt that he is having a hard time with all this, it is no excuse for bad judgement. I will say this, hate mail is wrong, criticism is not.
Two great big time internet media pieces yesterday and today. Both from National Review Online. First there is this one from Reverend Robert Johansen. This article finally pushed blogging and radio biggie Hugh Hewitt into a rant on teh radio last night. It did my heart good to finally hear Hugh get righteously indignant over this thing. Righteous indignation can be and often is overdone, but sometimes it is mandatory -- this is one of those times.
The other great piece from NRO is by Andrew McCarthy. (HT: Blogs For Terri) McCarthy compares the fact that courts block the use of torture on terrorists while ordering it for an innocent woman. It's devestating stuff.
If you are new to this situation, may I suggest you read this post from Info Theory. (HT: Blogs for Terri) It will get you up to speed thoroughly and in a hurry.
The best news is that The United States House of Representatives has passed a 'save Terri' law. The Senate remains, and they can act this fast. Se the actions items below and act now.
Here are the action items -- do them.
