I am on a hunger strike as of Feb 21st 2007. My name is Jeremy P. Lincicum. I am on this strike for those of us who have no voice within our Government, the working poor, the unemployed, the uninsured and the homeless. More then at any point in our history we have started our elections sooner, are spending millions of dollars and wasting time that our elected officials should be working on today’s and future problems. We have become a divided nation on so many topics, with heated rhetoric from both the extreme right and left of our political parties. Lost are the days of meaningful compromises and aiming for the greater good of all Americans. All the while the rich are getting richer and the gap between the rich and middle class is widening and the number of the poor is growing. This does not stop the government from hitting up the poor for it’s debt from both the state and federal levels. Should they not help the poor increase there income so that they can pay back there debt and still afford to live in a country where the cost of living is on a constant rise? Who is the government to demand that I pay up my debt while they run up the nation debt and can seem incapable to balancing a budget. Them telling me I should live within my means while they are living off the future of our children means. Show me they can balance a budget and decrease our national debt and stop for a moment and not be campaigning 24/7 while they should be working for us. When these things do happen, then I shall have myself a feast fit for a poor man. Until then, it’s water only for me.
Below will be a link to a website in which I have started my protest, along with ways to contact me. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon, for if I can not get my message out to the masses then we truly do remain voiceless and my sacrifice will be for not.
