I don't believe dying in a war of aggression on a country that's no threat to the United States of America is a noble cause.
One of the bogus reasons that George Bush gives for this invasion (and) occupation of Iraq is to make America safer -- and Katrina exposed that clearly he has made America more vulnerable through his policies in Iraq.
Everyone in America should be appalled that that many were killed. What's more obscene, me wearing the number, or that there is a number at all? My son is one of those numbers.
We are here ... to show our government, to show our media, to show America that we mean business, and we're not going home until every last one of our troops is home.
We're here to energize most of the people in America who are with us.
I've always admired President Chavez for standing up to imperialism and the meddling of the American government in South America.
America has been killing people on this continent since it was started. This country is not worth dying for...
You get America out of Iraq, you get Israel out of Palestine.
If the people of America do not rise up, take ownership of our country, we're going to lose it forever.
You're taking away our freedoms. The Iraqi people aren't freer, they're much worse off than before you meddled in their country.
This is the people's America and I think we are taking it back.
This isn't about politics. It's about what is good for America and what's best for our security and how far this president has taken us away from both.
I think it's going to be an amazing opportunity for the people of America to show their elected officials we mean business when we say we want our troops home,
I don't - you know, I'm very disillusioned with our political system. If we don't wake up in America and realize that we have to vote out of our courage and integrity for candidates who reflect our own beatitudes, and not the beatitudes of the war machine and the corporations, we are - we're doomed.
