We just had a terrible call. My mom had a stroke.
That's too much to ask of anybody to adjust to that. But now, they have to adjust to the fact that their mom is always gone. But they know that they are sacrificing and we are sacrificing to bring the troops home and to make sure it never happens again.
'Peace Mom' is my most heartfelt, but I am most proud of 'Myth America' because I nailed the problem and gave the solutions long before the Occupy Movement. I think it's a great organic class analysis.
I'll be a grieving mom until I die because of the lies that took my son, ... I plan on keeping this up until the troops are brought home.
I plan on returning to Camp Casey very soon, but while I'm in Los Angeles please respect that my sister, brother and I are here focusing on our mother, while the moms in Crawford focus on Bush, ... The president is not off the hook.

I know that Casey would be proud of me, ... I am always going to be a grieving mom. I will be a grieving mom until the day I die.
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.
I've spoken to thousands of people this week, ... I'm so tired, and then I get someplace like this, and I'm so full of love and so full of energy.
It was very interesting how so many people are struggling to survive. They resort to petty crime to survive and get arrested while people at Halliburton steal millions from the government and they're out prospering.
It was a joy and privilege to stand with so many people who support this woman and her cause. Even in a steady rain with umbrellas in one hand and candles in the other, Alaskans came together to show compassion and concern for a fellow citizen from afar. If only every day we would join together and support one another, perhaps we wouldn't need to be at war. Compassion and kindness can be contagious; wouldn't that be a joyful epidemic to witness?
These so-called women have no maternal instinct or compassion for the people that their policies have killed.
The responsibility for lying to the American people and targeting critics and dissidents needs to go all the way up the chain of command. Scooter Libby was clearly one of the administration's attack dogs unleashed on opponents of this fraudulent war, but he serves higher masters.
There's still a war on. Nine Americans were killed yesterday in Iraq. We will end this war. We will bring the troops home.
