We really need to stop the imperialist tendencies of countries like the United States and Great Britain.

I was told my son was killed in the war on terror. He was killed by George Bush's war of terror on the world.

I've always admired President Chavez for standing up to imperialism and the meddling of the American government in South America.

I believe that any candidate who supports the war should not receive our support. It doesn't matter if they're Senator Clinton or whoever.

If we stick together as an American people we can bring down the war criminals that are running our country right now.

What is the 'noble cause' for which you sent our country to war?

We haven't been happy with the way the war has been handled. The president has changed his reasons for being over there every time a reason is proven false or an objective reached.

I admire President Chavez for his strength to resist the United States. Instead, Bush is waging a war of terrorism against the world.

58% of the American public are with us. We're preaching to the choir, but the choir's not singing, if all of the 58% started singing, this war would end.

My son was killed in 2004. I am not paying my taxes for 2004. You killed my son, George Bush, and I don't owe you a penny.

We can't let somebody rise to the top who will pardon these war criminals. Because they need to go to prison for what they've done in this world. We can't have a pardon. They need to pay for what they've done.

When I was growing up, it was 'Communists'. Now it's 'Terrorists'. So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of, so the war machine can build more bombs, guns, and bullets and everything.

We really need to stop the imperialist tendencies of countries like the United States and Great Britain.

I would love to support Hillary for president if she would come out against the travesty in Iraq. But I don't think she can speak out against the occupation because she supports it.

The war in Iraq will end, our troops will come home, Bush will be impeached and he will be brought to justice.

It's up to us, the people, to break immoral laws, and resist. As soon as the leaders of a country lie to you, they have no authority over you. These maniacs have no authority over us. And they might be able to put our bodies in prison, but they can't put our spirits in prison.

So what really gets me is these chickenhawks, who sent our kids to die, without ever serving in a war themselves. They don't know what it's all about.

I'm just so honored that the universe chose me to be the spark that has set off a raging inferno.

Every day is a new sense of tearing my heart out of my body again when I see other children who have been killed, and I know what their families are going through.

Everything I say comes from my heart - and it's the truth.

I am not a politician or a military strategist. I am just a citizen voicing my opinions.

I believe that it is my right and responsibility as an American to question our government when our government is wrong.

I can imagine people in Third World countries looking at, you know, someone like Hillary Clinton raising $35 million for her presidential campaign that goes to really, you know, nonproductive means, and they see that, and they just - it's just really immoral, I believe.

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.

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.

I don't understand why, to rise to the level of being president of my country, one has to be a monster. I used to say that George Bush was defiling the Oval Office, but it's been held by a long line of monsters. We don't have to support our administrations to love our country.

I have been known for some time as a person who speaks the truth and speaks it strongly. I have always called a liar a liar and a hypocrite a hypocrite.

I raised four kids in six years.

I take deep breaths and be true to my heart.

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.

I think some of the people on the Left... were extremely jealous of me getting what they thought was all of the attention.

I think that there are some people on the so-called Left who might say we have to circle our wagons around the first African American president, and to me that is racism in reverse because his policies are actually still the racist policies of empire.

I wake up every day feeling like today's the day to make a difference. I never question the correctness of what I'm doing or the need for it.

I was a Catholic youth minister for eight years... I'm not Catholic anymore. The church is too misogynistic.

I'm a socialist, and I'm not going to be ashamed to say it!

I'm just a regular mother who's trying to save lives and be the best human being I can be.

I'm not a military strategist.

I'm not going to join any party. If I do vote again, and if I do become, you know, politically active, it will be independent.

I'm working class, my family was working class, and we have struggled the same way our neighbors here in San Francisco have struggled.

If peace activists really want to make changes, they have to start putting intense pressure on their elected officials. Of course, everything should be non-violent, because we are trying to create a peaceful world, and violence can't produce peace - no matter what George W. Bush and his buddies say.

If the people of America do not rise up, take ownership of our country, we're going to lose it forever.

Loyalty to the true, core values and roots of democracy is what makes a true patriot, not loyalty to a symbol of the country.

Many people in San Francisco know me, and they know my persistence.

My children were the center of my life.

My husband has always agreed with me philosophically.

My son died for lies.

One of my biggest inspirations is President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. Yea, President Hugo.

Our country has been overtaken by murderous thugs... gangsters who lust after fortunes and power.

People who are against me attack me personally. They attack the way I look physically, they attack the way I dress, they attack everything but what I say.
