Cindy Lee Miller Sheehanis an American anti-war activist, whose son, U.S. Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, was killed by enemy action during the Iraq War.

We chased him away from his ranch. We protest all over the country without him being in attendance, so I don't think it takes away (from this vigil) a bit because he never met with us anyway.
You get that maniac out here to talk with me in person.
Every time Bush talks he should be removed from office,
We need to see that George Bush and the rest of them are tried for crimes against humanity.
We need to bring our troops home immediately, as soon as possible,
The president says he feels compassion for me, but the best way to show that compassion is by meeting with me and the other mothers and families who are here, ... Our sons made the ultimate sacrifice and we want answers. All we're asking is that he sacrifice an hour out of his five-week vacation to talk to us, before the next mother loses her son in Iraq.
The president is not going to meet with us, probably. We the people need to influence our congressional representatives and I hear he's pretty close by.
Two thousand families have been destroyed for nothing,
But I've regretted working for someone who wasn't stridently speaking out against the war, ... Now I regret that support of John Kerry and I won't do it again.
What was the noble cause my son died for?
What happened last night is very disturbing to all of us, and it should be really disturbing to America. Because no matter what you think about the war, we should all honor the sacrifice of the ones who have fallen. And to me it's so ironic that I'm accused of dishonoring my son's memory, by doing what I'm doing, by the other side, and then somebody comes and does this.
We just had a terrible call. My mom had a stroke.
This... this... 'coyote' is like, just another tool of this wicked administration, ... I mean are we supposed to accept the fact that it's okay for a predator like this to have nuclear weapons but it's not okay for say, a road runner or a baby harp seal? Coyotes like Wile E. are already waging nuclear war on defenseless road runners every day. I believe the pictures taken by my undercover operatives speak for themselves.
