What do you guys think of this idea:

Fasting in front of Ed Brown's property until he rescinds his warning of revenge killings.

advantages I see:

While there, one could double as a deterrant to Federal raids (every additional body complicates their calculations, especially if that body is there, in a sense, to protect them).
A person fasting would draw more visitors to the driveway
Those people would do other constructive things while in the area (I have some ideas)
It would trigger more media coverage of the situation and change the tone of the coverage away from machine guns and militias
It would remind the public that there is a strong peaceable element in this movement, and that the movement has a conscience
It could help draw government workers (and the public) over to our side
It closely follows the Gandhi pattern (his fasts were mostly against his allies, not his opponents)
It would help address the legitimate concerns of those who oppose Ed's warnings.  It would prove that we are doing something about it while they are just complaining.
It would provide a new type of mouthpiece for opposing Federal action


disadvantages:

It could be perceived as turning "against" the Browns
Ed could rescind his warnings without meaning it
If Ed did not rescind his warnings within a few weeks...
- it could be used as an excuse to raid the home....
- The fasting person could die or suffer long term health consequences
- It could divide the movement, or be perceived as a division

As with all my ideas lately....I may or may not do this myself.  It depends on my schedule and on whether this idea turns out to be the best one.

Thoughts?
