The Next Step: Terri Schiavo Ad in USA Today

Having just completed our first fire across the bow of the mainstream media via our BlogsforTerri ad in the Tampa Tribune, we are now preparing to place an ad in the "USA Today" on Friday week. That day has been chosen for both maximum readership and also timing within the narrow window of opportunity to contribute to the growing grassroots campaign at the nation-wide level to save Terri.

Several groups have already expressed an interest in joining with BlogsForTerri by co-sponsoring the ad that is expected to cost almost $20,000. We have already contacted USA Today and are working with the Schindler Media office and others, to prepare the content and layout of the ad. BlogsForTerri expects to be prepared to raise about one-third of the total cost.

Blogs are encouraged to help get the word out. Pledges are requested immediately in order to be prepared for the placement of the ad next Tuesday for the Friday, March 15, just three days before Judge Greer has scheduled Terri's execution to begin.

In related news on the BlogsForTerri campaign to draw attention to Terri's plight, we were interviewed by a journalist with the New York Times over the weekend. Details will be released on the interview by the NYT sometime in the next two weeks when the article is expected to run that weekend in one of their weekend features.

Even murderers are given the humane way of dying and that is by lethal injection, if, they are going to go through with her murder, at least, do it in a humane way....killing her by starving her just to establish some legal precedent or legal obligation is inhumane.....Terry's only crime is that she went into a comma and therefore cannot say "how" she wants to die. I'm sure it wouldn't be by painful starvation ( no matter how brain dead they say she is.... Really....how much could it cost to be "sure" that it's painless.
