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

Cindy Sheehan

American antiwar activist

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

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

Cindy Sheehan

American antiwar activist

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.

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

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

Cindy Sheehan

American antiwar activist

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.

Cindy Sheehan

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.

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.

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.

Cindy Sheehan

American antiwar activist

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.

Cindy Sheehan

American antiwar activist

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.

Cindy Sheehan

American antiwar activist

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.

Cindy Sheehan

American antiwar activist

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.

Cindy Sheehan

American antiwar activist

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