Lt. Dan Choi and Capt. Jim Pietrangelo are going on a Hunger Strike for DADT

I just saw this press release on Joe.My.God
FASTNG FOR EQUALITY & DIGNITY STATEMENT BY DAN CHOI
Immediately following congressional mark-ups on the National Defense Authorization Act 2011, Captain James Pietrangelo and I will commence a fast in pursuit of Equality and Dignity. We have three demands of President Barack Obama.

DEMAND #1: End the Comprehensive Working Group "Study," which insults the dignity of all Americans.

DEMAND #2: End "Don't Ask Don't Tell" discharges forever.

DEMAND #3: Replace all discriminatory regulations in the military with a comprehensive non-discrimination policy.

This action is not organized in the name of any organization.
I'm really confused on Dan's stance. His demands are not completely realistic and a tad bit desperate.

And a hunger strike? Somebody, please check on them regularly and have a 3 piece and biscuit ready.

P.S. some of them may go to Prison too

If that's the case, he may lose before the big win.

I'm very laid back and easy going. I like to meet people, read, talk about politics, culture and life. I am a huge comic book fan (X-Men family and Wonder Woman) I also want to say that I am a proud black gay man...no 'down low' drama here
