This week, Reps. Maxine Waters and Laura Richardson are joining with actress Mia Farrow in a fast to bring awareness to genocide in Darfur.
About a dozen members of the Congressional Black Caucus are taking turns doing a one-day fast. Richardson did hers on Tuesday. It's not clear when Waters will take part, but her spokesman says it may be next week. Says Waters:

Mia Farrow has demonstrated true dedication to this cause by making a personal sacrifice, and I will be honored to join her and do my part.Waters' representative says the Congress members do actually go a full 24-hour period without eating anything, but they do drink water.
If Maxine can go 24 hours without breathing it would REALLY make a difference.
Alright Raul must have asked Laura to drop more than a few though. Now that they're an item anyway.
