D85+46 SL's medical note to Secret Service / Medical

November 14, 2011

Dear Secret Service, Medical, and other friends,

Day 46 of my Hunger Strike and Day 1 of my abstaining from water is today.  The first 40 days of the hunger strike were zero calories.  For the next 20 days or so I took roughly 400 calories per day to cover the backpacking I do around the city, and another 400 calories to slow my depletion.  Beginning 5 days ago I resumed the zero calories per day.  My energy tonight is virtually zero, so you may be seeing me sooner rather than later.

I am sorry for any trouble I may cause you.  We support our men and women in uniform, right?  Only group in this country I have any respect for.  And it costs a lot to enable them to fight for us – about $750,000 per year per soldier in Afghanistan, as I recall.

We’ll I  too am a soldier, tho my uniform and methods are is different, but I too fight for America and what we say we stand for, and unfortunately, the cost of my fighting, tho vastly less than our men and women in the Mideast, is not zero, and you will be experiencing that cost.  Truly sorry.

If you google ‘start loving’ my blog comes up that talks at great length of what I’m doing and why.

In my shirt pocket are two recent emails to acquintances of mine that two explain my mission somewhat.

I ask nothing of you.  If your requirements call for recusitating me, ok.  If not, that too is ok.  I expect to refuse food and water from anyone, for any reason, until I see a fire starting in the hearts of fellow citizens to turn this upcoming election into, not some meaningless exercise of who the next captain of the titanic is, but a decision to unviolently commandeer the Titanic and steer it away from the carbon ice burg, reducing carbon 80% by 2020, or we’ll have doomed eternity’s children irrevocably to a planetary Hell.  This is my way to put my very Being as a block to our insane Affloholism, that is dooming our children needlessly.

Thank you for your kindness and compassion. I wish you well, but you may be caught up in the battle I’m fighting.  I have no fellow co-workers in this fight, so I have no contact information to give you.  Sorry.

Start Loving

Ps:  I believe you’ll find that under the name I previously was known as, James McGinley, ss ending in xxxx, that you’ll find that recently I received Medicaid (that’s the lesser one, right?), if that helps you.
