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

Actually, perhaps a group should show up with really tastey food and eat in front of them.... How about a barbeque? :)

Most of her crew have sworn off soap and water, so food is not that difficult to give up.

WoW! Now that's an impressive gang of Socialists. They're going to end up with egg on their faces. NONE of them are planning to die, so they'll quit before they die.
Cinderfella has really packed on the pounds! She won't starve to death for quite a while. Maybe Soros shut off her food bill. LOL

Big deal. If Willie Nelson goes on a "reefer-strike", then we should be concerned. Yeah, really. There will be a glut on the open market and prices will drop precipitously.

If Jihad Cindy wants to fast to death... let her! In her own deluded mind, she thinks the country will support a cut n run policy if she and Willie Nelson stop eating. Yeah, that'll succeed where all her other efforts have failed to change President Bush's mind.

It's a trick! Willie will live off food crumbs trapped in his facial hair. Disqualification for improper "beard squeezin's"!
To: MOTR Newbie
"Look at me! Look at me!!! Dammit, I said look at me!!!"What a drama queen. I smell more than Cindy's dirty hair here. If she pulls this in Crawford in the Texas heat she will probably end up in the hospital and be force fed to save her life. She'd love the attention and probably sue the hospital.

Maybe she'll go on a hunger strike a la Jesse Jackson. Ol' Jesse lets someone take over his fast while he goes to lunch, then comes back and resumes his "fast".

Open ended? OPEN ENDED??
C'mon Cindy, you need to set a firm TIMETABLE for when you can declare your hunger strike has succeeded in achieving its goals.
I suggest that you and your pacifist friends fast from July 4th through November 7th. If you don't cheat, you should be successful by then.

She's going to be like that anti-tax guy who went on a hunger strike and gained weight.Yep. I'd bet a million bucks that after a couple of weeks this becomes ann Al Sharpton-style milkshake fast.

There's a great joke out there that would get me banned here....but the punchline is, "But that's Willie Nelson in the middle"
