Who: Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., founder and president of the RainbowPUSH Coalition
Why: "I think the feeding tube should be reinstated. This is a very tough emotional, ethical, political issue. But you know she is brain impaired, she is not brain-dead. And right now they're starving her to death. They're dehydrating her to death, and that raises profound ethical questions. That tube should be reinstated. She is not brain-dead. She's brain impaired. It's not right to starve her to death. That's not right ethically." -- Rev. Jesse Jackson
