Glenn Beck, former Fox News host and the founder of Blaze media products, called on America to join him for a fast in the lead-up to the presidential primary. He’s spreading the word with the Twitter hastag #Tuesdayfast. In a Facebook post, Beck wrote: “I have asked for this in the past and was mocked. It is okay.
