Another attention-whoring Democrat.

Via TIME:

After a year of frustrating setbacks for immigration reform activists, Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) has decided to stop eating for one day to call attention to the cause.

Fast4Families, a group that advocates a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants through coordinated hunger strikes, met with the Illinois Democrat on the National Mall Wednesday, a Durbin aide said, and Durbin accepted the group’s invitation to the join the fast. President Barack Obama and First Michelle Obama met with Fast4Families late last month.

Durbin will fast from 7 p.m. Thursday until 7 p.m. Friday.
