Fasting for Freedom on Independence Day ~ Crystal Rene
July 4, 2011
The 4th of July is Independence Day, a celebration of freedom for all Americans. Shane and Josh have been robbed of that freedom and independence now for 702 days. I’m fasting today to stand in solidarity with Sarah Shourd and the family and friends of these two Americans, who will spend Independence Day in a prison cell. On July 5th, I’ll go back to work. I’ll eat however and whenever I choose. I’ll run errands, plan vacations, and connect with friends and family. Shane and Josh will continue to sit in a cell. As life goes back to normal for me on July 5, I will be more aware of their struggle, and I will continue to honor and support them in any small way I can.
