What is the 'noble cause' that brave Americans are dying for?
What I think it?s going to take now is non-violent, peaceful civil disobedience all over the country, ... Go to your senators? offices, to federal buildings. Sit down and say enough is enough. The killing has to stop sometime.
I think their use of force was pretty excessive for someone that didn't have a permit.
We are just doing what we believe is right,
We were all finally pleased that one of the liars was exposed. But how many more liars do we have to go after in this administration?
We want to hold this administration accountable. Nobody's asking them the hard questions but you know what, we're willing to come here.
The deceptions and betrayals that led to the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq cost my family a price too dear to pay and almost too much to bear, the loss of my boy Casey.
A lot of these people who are there are criminals, and we need to get them out of our house,

They don't have what I like to call skin in the game, but we are all affected.
