I will support any candidate that will create a National Day of Fasting.

We have quite a few national days of feasting.

Why not a day of fasting?

It's optional of course.

But the idea is to take time as a nation to remember the poor who can't eat or drink whenever they want.

Would you support that?

I found out Abe Lincoln did it:

And the idea has been proposed and supported by various legislators and groups since.

Please, everyone should advocate such a day on their blog and in their messages.

Unless you don't care about the poor. Then just ignore the idea.
