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."

Without voter fraud the Communist Party would never win another election.
Promises. Promises.
Most school aged kids could miss a few from what I’ve seen.
Let them go hungry for about four days, if they’re really doing without and not sneaking a pizza every day, and then have a big cookout upwind of them.
Show off and conspicuously consume all kinda tasty ribs and aromatic stuff and tasty desserts too. Cherry pie and chocolate cake, with coffee. Yum Yum.
A hunger strike and “the munchies” is a bad combination.
Those students are useful idiots for those who are seeking to destroy America.
Ya, sure.
Let’s see how long after your last toke of grass that lasts.
Bet you all got veg burgers stuffed down your pants.
Do they have school IDs?
Have you seen today’s liberal woman?
A hunger strike might be just what they need to drop those extra 40 pounds.
When I was in college, some radical students on campus staged a hunger strike in the plaza on campus. Members of the Young Republicans on campus ordered a bunch of pizzas and sat right in front of them - having a great picnic. The hunger strike didn’t last much longer.
*shrug* enjoy your diets. Some of you could clearly use one.
They could probably stand to lose some weight.🤔
Mebe they should hold their breath.....
Let them die and improve the gene pool.
These kids have been abused by the Left. It’s sad.
Starve while I eat a deep-fried Twinkie right in front of you, you candy asses.
After Jan. 17 would be a great time to have a barbeque on that campus. I suggest smoked ribs and let that incredible flavor float on the wind for the hunger strikers to breath in.
Oh please, strike away! A lot bigger? Yeah, go for it!
Make it 100 days or even 200. You can do it! Make it real!
A hunger strike? I am thinking that the average person in the US can do this easily, and maybe fall into the “normal” category, from obese.
