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
Sorry, that's July 4th, not 1st.
I guess she's frustrated that she hasn't been getting more attention lately.
I bet she has stored up Twinkies, and has them under a pillow.
Where is dead when you need him? We need a pic of an emaciated Sheehan. ;) How long will it take to airbrush away 50 pounds?
Actually, perhaps a group should show up with really tastey food and eat in front of them....
susie
That's it; Cindy's not eating. Pull the troops - STAT! Yeah, that'll happen. Another great liberal plan.
Could she maybe starve herself to death? Puh-leeze??!?
Translation: "Look at me! Look at me!!! Dammit, I said look at me!!!"
Al Qaueda: "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."
Looks like she has been stocking up for the event...
She and Wille can toke and dessicate together.
When it comes to mother Sheehan, hunger strike = diet
With any luck inside of 2 weeks she will lose so much weight, she will fall through her a****le and hang herself.
Would do her some good. Hope no one steps in to force feed her.
Dick Gregory? Has he started eating again...just so he can stop?
ROTFL, I love that!
