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.

I think our senator needs to be held accountable for her support of George Bush and his war policies.
Senator Clinton, taking the peace road would not prove you are weak,
I am not running against Senator Feinstein, but I will continue to be a thorn in her side.
I believe Mrs. Clinton is a brilliant woman who has a lot on the ball, but to characterize her as one of the leading liberals in Congress is absolutely false. With her position as a senator she's become more 'let's see which way the wind blows, and what's going to get me re-elected or elected, or how am I going to benefit from this,' instead of truly voting from her integrity.
We just had a terrible call. My mom had a stroke.
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.
People are still dying every day in Iraq and we still have a war going on, ... We need to link them together, and they're connected. It's just another example of failure by this administration. Since the media's not merging them together it's going to be hard, but we'll keep trying.
People get paid for doing what they do.
