Why throw in Nadler and Moore? They can fast for all of us.

What part of “we are broke” doesn’t Tony Hall understand???
Fund your own programs Tony, and pull in your lib friends. We are struggling to feed our own families right here at home.

If he really knows anyone who is going hungry then let him give that person $40 a week. Leave the rest of us out it.

Remember back in the 1980s when 10 IRA members fasted themselves to death?

Let's see if these rats have what it takes!

Hall and his “fasters” are liars. If there is a problem with hunger, why is Michelle spending all those taxpayer dollars on an “anti-obesity” program and why are we importing poverty from central and south America into this country? Hmmmmm? Also, why is the government encouraging us to burn our food in our automobiles? Hmmmmm? Somebody is lying.

We have obese shiftless “hungry” in America and “hungry” foreigners who still have to buy the food we send them that their Dictators steal and sell to them.
Let these useful idiots of socialist income redistribution starve themselves but find out where—then build a BBQ hut next door upwind.

And, they’re going to designate which unhealthy foods they aren’t going to eat to maximize their protest: no to Burger King, take that McDonald’s, fuggedabowtit Domino’s, so there, Taco Bell.

The heads of five anti-hunger organizations on Monday will lead open-ended fasts to protest proposed cuts to domestic and international food programs contained in the House-passed six month spending bill.

WTF are 'open-ended fasts?'

I wonder if this is going to be one of those “rotating fasts” (if that’s the right term) that Jesse Jackson tried to pull off ten or twelve years ago. In a rotating fast, a team of people each eat nothing for some time period, like eight hours or four hours or even one hour. At the end of the time period, the “fasting person” goes and gets something to eat, and another person from the team “takes up the fast,” eating nothing for another time interval. The press covers this as if it were a “fast” or a “hunger strike,” giving media attention to whomever is designated as the “spokesman” for the fast group.

Good idea. Let's see if he can go as far as Bobby Sands. I doubt it...he'd be screaming for a pizza in no time flat.

Yep, and I laughed my ass off when Bobby Sands died. They invented the Darwin Award for guys like that.

...WTF is an "open-ended fast"?....would this mean that they fast until they get hungry, then the fast is off?

...if they are going to fast, then FAST....until weakness and possible death occurs..

..lets see just how many people really care about these weasles.

They can fast all they want. There is no money. There is no money. They either cannot figure that out, or they do not care or understand basic economics. Clearly they are Democrats who know only tax and spend.

Don’t think Tony could manage that. Whatever he’s been doing since he was a congresscritter is clearly not connected to life in taxpaying America.

When he starves to death, that will be one less to suck on the government teat.

How about that tried-and-true, 6-year old method of holding one's breath till red, then jumping up and down. That gets attention, too.
