[My son] Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives.

The people who are slamming me have no idea about what it feels like to unjustly have a child killed in an insane war.

My children were the center of my life.

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

No one can sustain rage for long. I am still angry and always will be. My dear son was stolen from me and his family to never return. He was killed for profit and lies. How can I not be angry? Sometimes though, the rage comes back.

I feel like I gave my son to this country in an illegal and immoral war. I'll never get him back.

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