Go to a nearby military cemetery and look at the American flags stuck on each grave and think of the person buried there who was killed for global domination or for the blunders and egomania of our leadership. And remember, for every person buried there, 10 more loved that person and were shattered by the loss. Instead of saluting, softly say: 'I'm sorry.' ... We need to make Memorial Day a relic of the past.
If we stick together as an American people we can bring down the war criminals that are running our country right now.
The people who are slamming me have no idea about what it feels like to unjustly have a child killed in an insane war.
Everything I say comes from my heart - and it's the truth.
I am not a politician or a military strategist. I am just a citizen voicing my opinions.
I believe that it is my right and responsibility as an American to question our government when our government is wrong.
I wake up every day feeling like today's the day to make a difference. I never question the correctness of what I'm doing or the need for it.
I'm working class, my family was working class, and we have struggled the same way our neighbors here in San Francisco have struggled.
Loyalty to the true, core values and roots of democracy is what makes a true patriot, not loyalty to a symbol of the country.
I never go anywhere and encourage people to get married to someone of the same gender or to have abortions - the issue never comes up.
I'm not going to join any party. If I do vote again, and if I do become, you know, politically active, it will be independent.
If the people of America do not rise up, take ownership of our country, we're going to lose it forever.
The Democrats are as much a part of the war machine as the Republicans. We can't let Democrats get off the hook because they're Democrats.
I raised four kids in six years.
