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 just had a terrible call. My mom had a stroke.
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.

'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.
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.
In a way, I wish he weren't the president, just so I could talk to him all the time.
In a way, I'm glad he did not come out to meet with me,
I know that they are in heaven, ... and I know that that's why this movement is growing because we have tens of thousands of angels behind us that are supporting us, that are saying, 'Well, you know we died and that was really crappy, but we hope that our deaths are going to make the world a better place,' and it's up to us to make sure that it does.
I knew George Bush would say things that would hurt me and anger me and I knew that I couldn't disrupt the address because Lynn had given me the ticket. I didn't want to be disruptive out of respect for her.
I kind of see their point that this was a grassroots thing that grew into a monster.
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.
The biggest terrorist in the world is George W. Bush,
