Following is a short
report I sent to a man in California who has expressed interest in my
activities out here in Florida. I thought some of you might like to
check out the video and read some of this report as well. I don't
know how long the video link will be there. Probably not longer than
today, if that long. If I can get the television clips this afternoon of
the banners, I will forward them so you can see what message I was sending
out.

Hi bobby.
Here's a short report just for you, because you have shown great interest in
what I'm doing over here.
I brought two of my
children with me to the hospice last night (ages 7 & 9). I
had a lot of trouble doing any actual preaching. I decided to leave the
Truth Horn in the car and use only my voice because of my previous
problems. In retrospect, this was a good decision.
Although there were some there who greatly appreciated and supported me
raising my voice, many did not. This time it was Randall Terry himself
of Operation Rescue fame who asked me to be quiet. At one
point I tried to involve more of the crowd by getting them to chant,
"Give Terri Water." My thinking was that people
watching the news at home could hear why we were there, and
if enough people joined in, maybe the naysayers would be quiet. It
worked at first, but when the producer of "Hannity and Colmes" expressed
her objection, everybody got on my case and rebuked me.
You can hear this
effort at getting a chant going by viewing a video of the Hannity and
Colmes show on the Fox News website, www.foxnews.com. Go to www.foxnews.com. At the left is a box
that is titled, "Time Running Out." There are two Videos listed.
Click on the first one, "Terri's Brother, Sister Talk to Fox." You can
hear me in the background about half way through the video, and it continues
for about one-fourth of the video clip. I was able to get a lot of
people to join in before being shut down. After this, I focused upon
trying to get my signs shown on camera. I should be able to get some
pictures this afternoon from some of the television broadcasts so you can see
what the banners looked like on the news. Let me know what you think
about my meager effort to get the crowd to chant. Do you think I
was out of order and being too disruptive? It just seemed to me
that we were out there to protest and express ourselves. I do not
understand why everyone wants to be quiet and just hold signs.
I guess this kind of
event requires banners only, although there was one kid out there rebuking us
all for holding signs. He said we needed to be praying on our knees, not
holding dumb signs. Strange that he was not leading us by example.
He had no sign, but he was not on his knees praying either.
Doors were opened on
separate occasions for me to talk personally with Terri's brother Bobby, and
also Sean Hannity. They both are very disturbed by what is happening and
it was a blessing to hear them off camera share their hearts. Bobby
Shindler has a wonderfully meek personality, very easy to approach, and he is
very giving of his time. He took the time to shake the hands of my two
girls and talk with them too. My children appreciated meeting the
brother of Terri because they have been so concerned about Terri not
receiving food and water. They don't understand why the police won't let
her brother put water in Terri's mouth.
Peace be with
you.
David Miller.
