I was disappointed to hear that Mia Farrow had to end her fast to raise awareness for the people of Darfur after 12 days. I believe there are two outcomes to a hunger strike......death or quitting. That is why, in my quest to raise awareness for state's rights and the tenets of federalism, I am going a different route.
Effective immediately, I am on a breathing fast. I will hold my breath until the discussions regarding social and entitlement programs are held at the state level. I will not emit 1 ounce of that global warming toxin, carbon dioxide (the stuff plants need to live), until the world understands my plight. I will not.....woh it is getting a bit dark in here. What was I saying???? The room is spinning.............GASP.
Dammit, I have failed.
Official statement:
"I regret to report that after 45 seconds, I had to end my breathing strike. Although I gave it my best, I do not have the ability to survive without oxygen. I believe that the effort and awareness raised during my strike may make a difference. Thank you to all the well wishers that have visited my site in the last 45 seconds."
