Isn't it nice of the IRS to tell the media where to ambush me before they tell me that the U.S. Attorney is suing me?
I'm just a regular mother who's trying to save lives and be the best human being I can be.
Let's push the Pentagon off the fiscal cliff.
I feel like I gave my son to this country in an illegal and immoral war, and I'll never get him back.
I think Michael Moore is an amazing man - an amazing, brave man. And I think people are probably going to start saying, 'Don't associate with Cindy Sheehan.' People who speak truth to power somehow are marginalized in this country.
Many people in San Francisco know me, and they know my persistence.
The American electorate are getting disgusted with weaklings who blow where the wind takes them while frittering away our precious lifeblood and borrowing money from our new owners, the Chinese.
The biggest terrorist is George W. Bush.
We're here to let the Democrats know that the grass roots and the anti-war movement elected them to create change.
Still putting out the O'Reilly fires of me being a traitor and using Casey's name dishonorably, my in-laws sent out a press statement disagreeing with me in strong terms; which is totally okay with me, because they barely knew Casey. We have always been on separate sides of the fence politically and I have not spoken to them since the election when they supported the man who is responsible for Casey's death. The thing that matters to me is that our family - Casey's dad and my other 3 kids are on the same side of the fence that I am.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I am not afraid of anything.
I am tired of the warmakers making war with our children. I am tired of our tired troops being sent over to do the dirty work for mob bosses who are going to squeeze the life out of Iraq and not leave until every asset and every natural resource has been raped from the country. I am tired of seeing Iraqis burying their loved ones and hearing the reverberating screams of mothers all over our country who are being destroyed for the benefit of a very few.
I can't speak for the other people whose children have died, but I can speak for my family and the other members of Gold Star Families for Peace. We believe we're honoring our children by working for peace.
We really need to stop the imperialist tendencies of countries like the United States and Great Britain
