The Big Hunger Strike

What Happened to the Big Hunger Strike at Camp Casey?

Camp Casey was the site of the most uncommitted demonstration of 'fasting' in the history of the world. Even the media failed to mention how much weight was lost by the participants. And the reason is because this 'fasting' was not real by any stretch of the imagination. No one lost any weight. Very unusual for a any kind of hunger strike. This event was touted far and wide by the media for a few days. It really ended up as being nothing more than not eating between meals. THAT IS NOT FASTING!!!

Many volunteered to fast to support Cindy until President Bush would agree to meet with her a second time. Below is the list of volunteers along with the limitations of their commitment to the 'fasting'. Many have forgotten about this protest, but we will not.

From the CodePINK website: http://www.codepinkalert.org/article.php?id=448:

The following supporters have joined the hunger strike in solidarity with Cindy Sheehan, Diane Wilson, and the rest of the CodePINK crew:

At no time did the national media worry about the health of those that were fasting.

Who is allied with Cindy Sheehan and CodePINK? Here are some of the many supporters. Take note of the level of anti-Semitism of these groups.

Take a good look at this list. Are any of these groups even remotely Pro-American? Cindy Sheehan and her followers call America a 'Fascist State.' Yet they maintain very close ties to the above Fascist related groups. These people are so radical, yet they make up the mainstream of the Left-Wing. These groups are truly dangerous. They, and the people associated with them, are not at all "Supporting the Troops" in any way, shape, or form. Nor would the Troops want to associate themselves with any of these groups. There is another way to look at it. Would the soldiers that these groups say they so strongly support want anything to do with them. Of course not. The dedicated professionals serving in the U.S. military would want nothing to do with these people.
