Establish democracy at home, based on human rights as superior to property rights. . . .

I want to stand by my country, but I cannot vote for war.

War is the slaughter of human beings, temporarily regarded as enemies, on as large a scale as possible.

It is unconscionable that 10,000 boys have died in Vietnam. If 10,000 American women had mind enough they could end the war, if they were committed to the task, even if it meant going to jail.

If I had my life to live over, I would do it all again, but this time I would be nastier.

There can be no compromise with war.

I may be the first woman member of Congress, but I won’t be the last.
