One thing I want to do is create something called Ring Around Congress. It would be a state deal and also a national thing, where the kids, as a field trip, will go and join hands around Congress and give the politicians report cards on how they're voting on hunger issues. ↗

A fast is not a hunger strike. Fasting submits to God's commands. A hunger strike makes God submit to our demands. ↗
