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 homeFAST! You can either contact me directly or my assistant Tiffany Burns at tiffany@codepinkalert.org
Warm regards,
Cindy Sheehan

Why does she continue to get coverage? I would like nothing more than to see no more stories about her and for no one to show up to her little gathering. Just ignore her and "maybe" she'll go away.
How embarassing for her family

You're probably right.
She and the rest of the gang will stop eating on July 4th in DC. Looks like no big deal since in mid-August they plan to move to Texas. By then Cindy will be 6 weeks without having food, but still planning to feel just fine.
As any religion, liberalism has its own share of fools carrying themselves through life with all the freakishness of unrecognized saints.

Now that's a great idea.
Show up at the death watch with a big bag of fast food, super sized and slowly eat in front of the ditch witch.

If Willie gives her some of his Acapulco Gold she'll eat the signs and a protester or two.

If Willie Nelson announced he was going to abstain from marijuana--now that would get my attention.
