Oh, so that's where he's been... He has yet to personally address the hunger strikers outside his office as well...

The wealthy white man behind that vintage and/or ironic curtain is New York's Senator Charles E. Schumer, chairman of the Senate Rules and Administration Committee. The New York Times tells us today that Schumer's role in the well-attended hipster day camp is "big." Also big: Schumer's cred.

I mean, look at him! Loving life and waiting for Grizzly Bear. Jay-Z was there, too. And we all know how Jay feels about New York Jewish men in politics. But Chuck is serious about these free shows, and thus, young people.

He finally managed to slip away on Thursday. The strikers were trying to block the door to his building, but there were two entrances. He managed to slip by them and quickly get into his car.

No matter, what we need is media attention! Media coverage will embarrass him and that is the only thing that he'll care about, evidently he doesn't give two shits about your dreams.

Please write personal letters to media outlets/journalists of your choice, but stay on message; I can't stress that enough. The message is this "There is an ongoing hungers strike in front of Sen. Schumer's NYC office; it started on June 1st. The sole and focused purpose of the strike is to convince Sen. Schumer to move on the Dream Act as a stand alone bill immediately. It is very important to me and my community that you cover this story."

Btw, good chunk of the strikers are from Williamsburg and adjoining areas. So while the strikers came to his neighborhood to starve, he went to their neighborhood to party. Thanks for the material Sen. Schumer!
