Anyone who knows me, knows that I am not afraid of anything.

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

We're here to let the Democrats know that the grass roots and the anti-war movement elected them to create change.

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.

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.

We mean business, George Bush, ... and we're going to go to Congress and we're going to ask them, 'How many more of other people's children are you willing to sacrifice for the lies' And we're going to say, Shame on you. Shame on you for giving him the authority to invade Iraq.

People demonize me; people idolize me; everything I say and do has been scrutinized.
