Not Eating Until Impeachment

[davidswanson]

Leslie Angeline began a fast yesterday, Rosa Park's birthday. She had been trying for some time to get an appointment with Congressman John Conyers to ask him to begin impeachment hearings. She began a sit-in in his office yesterday, and within 5 minutes he agreed to an appointment with her on Thursday at 3 p.m. But she is going to continue fasting, because he has not agreed to open impeachment hearings, and can of course be expected to tell her than yet more non-impeachment hearings on impeachable offenses is all we need. If you would like to join Leslie in this fast, just add your name and comment at http://afterdowningstreet.org/fast

1. Send her family my sympathies

[Sugar Smack]

14. Mine, too.

No good's going to come of this.

[apocalypsehow]

21. My thoughts exactly.

2. This is dangerous. I have a friend who in 2004 vowed not to shave or

get a haircut until * was impeached. He looks like a yeti, but is still going strong.

3. Do we have the TIME to impeach now?

At this point, I'm hoping the attorneys are ready with subpoenas to slap in Bushco's hands the moment they take the final walk out the door.

[tekisui]

16. They must be ready.

The only way I have been able to not explode in rage is to believe that Waxman, Conyers, Pelosi and the others is that secret actions have taken place. They simply MUST have it loaded, if for no other reason to keep a thumb on chimpy.

Today, the CIA chief, Hadyen admitted that they *torture*. They slipped it on a big news day.

Impeachment could be done in a week, if the prep-work has been done. Kucinich said he wasn't introducing his Impeachment of chimpy, yet. He wanted to give Conyers a shot. Conyers has had over a year, why should Kucinich expect something now? I hope, I truly hope, that is is because Conyers is up to something.

4. Leslie Angeline, or as her friends now call her...

..Slim.

[onenote]

5. I think I'll pass on joining her

Of course, I don't see where the OP is joining her either, so I don't feel too guilty about it.

[Der Blaue Engel]

6. I thought I'd just try holding my breath

I'll let you know how it goes. ;)

[Sugar Smack]

13. Heh! Nice answer.

:) This girl has made an incredibly foolish decision, and I hope she renegs.

[RedStateShame]

7. Obviously, dinner is "not on the table."

[NoPasaran]

11. Evil, but funny!

:rofl:

[Pacifist Patriot]

19. *sigh*

It's so nice to find someone who has a sense of humor as sick as mine. :rofl:

[jtrockville]

8. Conyers has everything he needs, right here:

9. As much as I would like to lose some weight, I'm afraid I would die

of starvation before the dems grew a spine!

[RethugAssKicker]

10. Will you be saying the Eulogy?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

12. strangest fad diet I've ever heard of

what's next - not eating until the Rapture?

[burythehatchet]

15. Be well, Leslie. n/t

[Aptastik]

17. Must be the new Democratic diet plan n/t

[Turn CO Blue]

18. Even Jesus only fasted 40 days...

The body begins a rapid, almost irreversable breakdown after 40 days without nourishment. I hope she takes some liquid protein and takes vitamins.

Anyone who thinks we'll get impeachment hearings within 41 days is unrealistic.

[topaz_eyes]

20. Is she suicidal?

I admire her commitment, but i don't think it will make an impression on the congress.

22. Welcome to DU, topaz_eyes!
