Already, almost 200 people across North America have joined the Michael Schmidt Solidarity Fast on Tuesday 25th October, with numbers growing by the hour.
Fasting together for 1 day. Bring your chairs, cameras, and signs (McGuinty, meet Michael) or (Christy Clark meet Michael ) ...
I heard if there was extra lotion, Bert would bring to share with Fasters....
We will take pictures and email thebovine.wordpress.com at the end of the day.
As the movement grows in support of Michael Schmidt’s hunger strike for food freedom, supporters are taking a day without food to show their solidarity with Michael, who has not eaten for 26 days.
Michael Schmidt says:
“The right to buy food direct from a farmer is as old as our country. Yet, today, that right is being taken away from Canadians by its government. I, Michael Schmidt, am on hunger strike until the government agrees to constructive dialogue on ensuring that this right is respected. I have written to Premier McGuinty to request a meeting and am encouraging everyone who supports this fight to write today to their elected officials and Premier McGuinty and make their voices heard.”
As part of the Michael Schmidt Solidarity Fast, a rally will be taking place outside Queen’s Park in Toronto at 1 pm on Tuesday 25th October. Their banners will read “McGuinty, meet with Michael”.
A Support Michael Schmidt facebook page that was launched at the end of last week has already nearly 3000 members, and counting…

Another perspective, from American blogger and WAPF publicist Kimberly Hartke:
Tomorrow on the 25th day of raw dairyman Michael Schmidt’s hunger strike, hundreds of supporters will give up all food except raw milk for the day. Michael’s epic struggle to win parity for small, sustainable farms in Canada has struck a chord worldwide. Blog comments and fan mail are coming from as far away as South Africa and Australia. On social media, supporters are changing their facebook profile photo to one with Michael Schmidt with a wine glass full of milk, and the slogan, Got Freedom?
A facebook group supporting Michael already has over 3200 members in just a few days:

Supporters are calling, emailing and faxing government officials, attempting to get them to meet with Michael to end his strike.
