Hunger Striker asking for support in making poverty a real issue in  
mainstream media

Jan LightfootLane of Fairfield is now on a 30 day hunger strike  
(begun in late July) to make the media aware of the plight of those  
victims of rising hunger and homelessness. She is asking that people  
write an email to USA Today to let them know that she (Jan) is on the  
hunger strike and to have USA Today cover the problem of hunger in  
major stories. If 500 people e-mail paper (USA Today) Jan will  
suspend her hunger strike.

To help Jan,  please e-mail accuracy at usatoday.com and tell them you  
are aware of Jan's hunger strike and that the story of hunger needs  
to be brought in front of the American people. It should not be a  
bottom of page 42 news story. Please send a copy of emails to USA  
Today to Jan at janshouse at yahoo.com. You can also contact her at that  
email if you have questions or want to support her in other ways.
