USA Today,

I am trying to help Jan Lightfoot end her hunger strike by telling you that the story of hunger needs to be brought in front of the American people. HUNGER must not be buried in USA Today's backpages, on the rare occasions it is covered at all.

Sincerely,
YOUR NAME

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@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@yahoo.com. You can also contact her at that email if you have questions or want to support her in other ways.
