Cindy Sheehan to begin hunger strike on July 4 - accompanied by Willie Nelson
afterdowningstreet.org ^ | 6/3/06 | Cindy Sheehan

Posted on 06/21/2006 10:13:23 AM PDT by redstatesrock

I have camped out in front of George Bush's ranch, marched in rallies, lobbied Congress, gone to jail, and much more to stop the devastating war in Iraq and bring our troops home. Now it's time to do more.

Along with other activists and the peace groups Gold Star Families for Peace and CODEPINK, I will be starting an open-ended hunger strike, called Troops Home Fast, on July 4 th. We will start the fast in Washington DC, in front of the White House, and then move to Camp Casey (outside Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas) in mid-August. We hope the fast will galvanize public attention, invigorate the peace movement, build pressure on elected officials, and get our troops back home!

As a sign of solidarity, we are asking you to join us by fasting for at least one day. It could be on July 4, our launch date, or any other time during the summer. You can fast from wherever you are, or better yet, join us in Washington DC or Crawford, Texas. We've already received commitments from wonderful allies such as Willie Nelson, Danny Glover, Dick Gregory and Dolores Huerta, as well as military veterans, religious leaders, students, and women's groups.

Thank for considering our request to fast for one day as a symbol of your support for the Iraqi people and our soldiers, and your commitment to bring our troops back home—FAST! You can either contact me directly or my assistant Tiffany Burns at tiffany@codepinkalert.org

Warm regards,

Cindy Sheehan

Hey, I'll believe that if Willie also lays off weed... Otherwise, after a few tokes, Willie'll be scarfing down a 50 pound bag of oreos cookies!

Shotgun Willie sits around in his underwear
Bitin' on a bullet and pullin' out all of his hair
Shotgun Willie's got all his family there

Well you can't make a record if you ain't got nothing to say

Now John T. Floore was working for the Ku Klux Klan
At six foot five John T. was a hell of a man
Made a lotta money selling sheets on the family plan
Shotgun Willie sits around in his underwear
Bitin' on a bullet and pullin' out all of his hair
Shotgun Willie's got all his family there

And it's such a "peaceful" way to die.../sarc

Can we expect Geo. Felos to show up in support?

Uhhhhh, Dear Lord . . . could you intervene in a . . .

starkly convincing way . . . overtly obvious on the MSM news . . . . such that these . . . clueless idiots would . . . either learn something or be wholesale neutralized and disappear from the public stage to suck their thumbs in some Appalachian log cabin somewhere or maybe on a hog farm in Siberia?

Of course, if they want to be poster children for anorexics . . . I suppose that could be their choice . . . along with all the heart complications etc. But that's not a very lovely way to engage in life transitions, however well deserved.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up right there.

Basically their biggest name is Willie...and everyone realizes the weed has pickled his brain.

HAHA...Willie Nelson on a hunger strike? Better do something to control his herbal intake first. If not, that hunger strike will be over quicker than food through a goose...

Punch Line:

Wino: " I don't know who the 2 guys on the end are....but the one in the middle is Willy Nelson"

was thinking the same thing.....set up a Philly Cheese Steak Stand up wind in Crawford with huge exhaust fans.

Hunger strike might last 300 days with what she has in storage. Can't come fast enough for me.....NOT ONE FRIGGIN WORD ABOUT MASSACRED HERO's....its ME, ME, ME for Cindy Saheeb.
