Loretta Lynchs allies are launching a hunger strike until shes confirmed as attorney general, but they could be waiting weeks if Republicans follow through on their threat to delay Lynch even longer.
As long as the Senate refuses to take fifteen minutes to confirm someone for Attorney General that they have already confirmed twice for U.S. Attorney, National Action Network and its allies will do everything in our power to draw attention to this completely unfair and unnecessary delay to vote to confirm Loretta Lynch, Sharpton, who founded NAN, said in a statement Wednesday.
The groups executive director, Janaye Ingram, added: We stand with Loretta Lynch and are so in support of this cause that we are willing to sacrifice our daily meals to impress upon the U.S. Senate that its time to call a vote.
The hunger strike is part of a broader campaign to publicly pressure Republican leaders to quickly hold a confirmation vote for Lynch, who has been stuck in a nomination purgatory ever since she cleared the Judiciary Committee in late February.
Activists also plan to blitz Senate offices urging support for Lynch, write letters to the editor and op-eds, and launch a social media drive trying to bring attention to the effort.

Not even a hunger strike, it’s a frigging diet.
If they starve to death we know there are a few in Congress worth their salt.
Fine; let them starve to death.
It’s the Loretta Lynch Diet. I strongly encourage them to stick with it.
If they do you can expect a headline...”Sudden burst of lower level government activity in the Dept. of Human Services and Education sectors is unexplained....” to be printed in the ‘nations newspaper’.
perhaps the Rev.Sharpston’s visit to the Isle of Underage women, where his Cialis prescription bottle was found is a hint. Or was that Rangel,no, it was Alvin.
Damn, now we cant confirm her. I want to really see how much they want her confirmed. I want some deaths to prove how bad they want it and are willing to go.
Bobby Sands made it 69 days.
