My Hunger Striking friend has been Hospitalized, Day 36 - Immigrtation Reform

I was worried having not heard from him since Thursday.

Youth Rally & Mass for Life 2010 - Hunger Striker Risks All for his Brothers & Sisters

Today I heard from him mid day, an urgent email asking for help.
I biked across town (not real smart as the roads are unplowed
:-(  ) and spent the afternoon assisting him before racing back
for my evening shift at the White House.

Thursday night he awoke in his homeless shelter screaming in
pain - extreme muscle spasms.  They rushed him to the hospital
in an ambulance.  Against their wishes he signed himself out mid morning and
made the rounds of every Congressional and Senate office
because he has scheduled a prayer vigil in front of the White
House Tuesday and needed to make the requests Friday of
each office to attend.  He collapsed several times, but by days
end had delivered the announcement to every office.  He
expects to do the same Monday. I don't know if he will make it,
but I'll not bet against his will.

He had a major article in one of the major spanish dailies last
week and the head of the Mexican news association, is an
admirer from the days he was tortured by the Mexican
government - and this afternoon Macias and I wrote the article
they will put out tomorrow.
