Hi Folks:
This is an urgent need. Every person alive can be affected by the outcome
of Terri Schiavo's life or death.
Please remember-We are all people and each of us is individual and
unique. We are not vegetables even if we are non-responsive. We are human
beings and not disposable. Please consider acting on behalf of Terri and the
rest of humanity. Your life may depend on it.
John Pistorius
