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

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

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

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 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 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 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.

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

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.

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.

My husband has always agreed with me philosophically.

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.
