Arizona college students threatened to go on a second hunger strike if Congress doesn’t pass the Democrat-led voting legislation by Jan. 17.
"We’re prepared to hold out indefinitely now that the holidays are over," Leila Winbury, a junior at Arizona State University, told Fox News Digital. "I have seen the consequences of a broken democracy my entire life, so we're willing to suffer the consequences of hunger striking rather than the consequences of the bill not passing."
She said the next hunger strike will be "a lot bigger" than the 15-day one organized in December.
"Nationwide hunger-striking, more than likely," she noted.
The Un-PAC students are advocating for the Freedom to Vote Act, which aims to take money out of politics, establish more lenient voting rules and make Election Day a federal holiday.

"The health toll was hard, a lot of us had low blood pressure, but we did have a doctor on site," she told Fox News Digital. "He took our vitals twice a day."
"In Arizona I was able to go back to my dorm. In D.C., we stayed in sleeping bags out front of the Capitol, and then once it would get dark, we would go stay in a hotel," Winbury said.
She shared her message to D.C. lawmakers: "Do your jobs, listen to your constituents. We should not have to put our bodies on the line for you to listen to us."

Here’s a good opportunity for conservative students to set up a big yummy BBQ across the street so the wind blows the smell towards them.
I’ll assume that they’ll take over some administrative building, dorm or something like that.
Since they’re, oh so liberal, compassionate and want everyone to be able to vote. Round up a bunch of the savages from one of the detention centers on the border or one of the military bases housing Afghani’s, and drop them off in the building. Those are the types of folks these liberals really care about, right?
Lets see how long before they’re running from those buildings trying to escape.
Please do...idiots
😂 Perfect!
Please do, then we can hopefully say...
A hunger strike with civilized snack breaks, of course.
Yeah, sure they are-most liberal college kids can’t handle a lack of junk food for more than a few hours, never mind a few days-they are just spoiled attention-seekers. If they flee to a compound in the desert with a fake messiah, give him all their money and obedience before he stirs up a few vats of grape koolaid and demands they all take a drink, then more of us might take notice...
Hah
Just being coy
The AZ Senate report noted a number of places where multiple unknown “voters” had registered and they were vacant lots, empty buildings, etc. Places clearly chosen for fraud value.
As far as South 48th, well...it’s one of those areas where things like that are part of the landscape. Not quite Guadalupe, but close...
In opposition, I have been on a hunger strike since before Noon!
Though to be honest I hadn’t realized it until just now.
Hunger Strike?
I thought about 50% of college students could not get enough food. Thus food banks on campus.
Excellent news...
Emaciation is what they deserve for their ignorance...
I would be willing to eat in front of them everyday until they are dead
I see, 300 phantom voters. I was concerned about having 300 vagrants within walking distance. I am north of Baseline, so we should be okay.
What is there, about a dozen students? Good, most of the lard asses could stand to lose a few pounds.
A second hunger strike?
What happened to the first one?
Oh, you got hungry.
I’d volunteer to eat a Big Mac in front of them. That’ll end the strike. The students are revolting….. aren’t they?
The hunger strike. The dumbest of all strikes.
They will probably have pizzas shipped in for the hunger strike.
