	Fast Middle East Trip! Middle East Peace Delegates Medea Benjamin, Gael Murphy and Diane Wilson continued from Jordan to Beirut where they have been working with Lebanese activists and humanitarian aid groups to help those stranded without aid in South Lebanon.

	Latest News! Watch Jaime Todaro's video and meet all the Fasters who were camped outside the White House. While we celebrated the end of our fast and International Peace Day in front of the White House on September 21 (Jodie Evans and Carrie Biggs-Adam were honored for completing 80 days of fasting!), we are also re-initiating our fast at the same time. Some people have decided to fast every Wednesday until the troops come home. Others will fast for longer periods. And we will probably have another collective fast in the future. Click here to read Susan Adelman's Thank You message to all the Troops Home FASTers. In the meantime, we urge you to sign the Voters Pledge and ask at least 10 of your friends to sign as well. You can help get 2 million signers in 2006!
