The DARFUR FAST FOR LIFE is an effort to keep pressure on world
leaders, and specifically our president, to intervene to help the
suffering Sudanese men, women and children in Darfur. We want leaders
to stop dealing with the symptoms of genocide and address the cause--
a lack of oversight and clear guidelines for peace with consequences
for breaking them.

A Fast with celebrities and members of Congress is one of the only
ways activists have found to get media coverage on the atrocities
still happening there. It also keeps the issue in front of global
leaders who have the ability to intervene.  Finally, fasters who take
a stand of solidarity with the people of Darfur by fasting are also
sending a message of hope to the people of Darfur that they are not
forgotten and that we will not stop until they can live in peace
again.

Good luck. 3 days is very difficult. Most people do not realize how hard it is to go without food for even 1 day let alone 3. Seriously though be careful and drink only vegetable broth and juice the day before and the day after. Your system goes into a kind of shock when deprived of nutrients. I have done the Master Cleanse fast and you have to be careful! You are very noble in you commitment. I promise not to twitter about food but only support on those days.

XOXO

I love that you're taking a stand James, there is so much hunger and suffering in this world and no excuse for it. I support you fully but just be careful & stay healthy. I hope you can help make a difference, you already are by informing those you know and the fans. I hope it makes a difference for them.

This is such a horrible, serious situation going on in Darfur, and I applaud you for doing your part to bring attention to this cause.  The media and the rest of the world, for the most part, ignores the situation, while this conflict and genocide goes on.  Is there any way we can donate $$ to the cause in your name for the fast or is there a banner we can put on our MySpace pages?

That is wonderful James. Even when it's without cause regular fasting helps strengthen us spiritually and keeps us healthy. If you find you have to eat, watermelon is good since it is mostly water and good for you. And yes Demonica is right try to wean yourself and not eat too many heavy foods the first day after your fast especially meat it can make you ill. We want you to feel good James we love you. Take care.

..Yes please take care of yourself as you do this.  It is so cool that you care enough to put yourself through this.  I'll be following on twitter for the updates.  I still think an easier way for you to help people would be to just come to Cincy for the REZonate Fest I'm doing in Aug. and help out the poorest kids in America.  Its all about rock and bikes - what could be more fun?  I know, I know, I'm dreaming.  Seriously though, be careful this weekend.  I'll send up a prayer for you.  ..

I could not have phrased what you just said any better...
....I am involved with a few charities such as Oxfam, and I would like to thank you most sincerely for making me aware of Darfur.....
....I know that change can happen, but it takes time and happens gradually " in small stepping stones".......
....GOOD LUCK with your fast!....

Me too...I was just thinking about that this morning..(6-11-09)...I read about this and then I saw your post.

You are one FUCKING AMAZING HUMAN BEING!!!!!!!!! Even though we don't know each other...I will STILL say...I am glad to have someone like you in my life...(even though you really aren't)...Just so you know. That is not CRRRRRRRAZY TALKING... I really and truly mean it.

You hear so much about celebrities doing stuff but very seldom do you hear about them going without to prove a point or send a message.

I will tell you it is DEFINENTLY GOING TO BE HARD but, that is why the point should be made. I mean those people go hungry everyday. As a mother, that has always been a fear of mine....(not being able to feed my children)......OH MY...enough about that...I may cry if I continue this letter...

anyway...I am with you and I PROMISE....I WILL NOT CHEAT!!!!

Peace from Nashville my friend.

Donna

Thank You. If you check in my friends list, you will find the Save Darfur myspace as well. I wish more people were aware of what is going on there, as well as our governments role and lack thereof. The global economical reprecussions of investing in China as related to Darfur as well. (Divest, please). The scores of women and little girls being raped daily. Thank you for caring.

Well done James, this is something to be very proud of. I did 9 days, but it wasnt of my own choosing. So I have a good idea what it will be like for you. Please keep your fluids up Brother, and know that you have brought the plight of the people of Darfur to an even wider audience.

With respect,
Mac
