[AT] Dumb Off Topic Question

[Dean VP]

I cannot get my 1996 F150 hood latch to release. It appears to be rusted
stuck or something. I have tried to the push the hood latch lever, through
the grill, as hard as I can to the point where it starts to bend. No latch
movement. Have put pressure on the hood simultaneously. No help. Have tried
to find a place to wedge with a long screw driver but not much luck. 

Is there some magic trick?  

Battery went dead and now I cannot get under the hood to get to the battery.
Need to increase the antifreeze/water ratio, immediately, if not sooner. 

Help!!!
