I knew George Bush would say things that would hurt me and anger me and I knew that I couldn't disrupt the address because Lynn had given me the ticket. I didn't want to be disruptive out of respect for her.
I kind of see their point that this was a grassroots thing that grew into a monster.
I'm just going to set my butt down on the ground if they tell me to go,
I really believe Camp Casey will be given credit for ending the illegal occupation of Iraq.
I put myself out there, and I'm willing to take it. But I think the focus has been on the messenger and not the message.
I plan to keep this up until the troops are brought home,
I plan on returning to Camp Casey very soon, but while I'm in Los Angeles please respect that my sister, brother and I are here focusing on our mother, while the moms in Crawford focus on Bush, ... The president is not off the hook.

I never said I speak for them, ... I speak for myself.
I never ever, ever got up here and said ... I speak for every single military family,
I'll be laying down and not getting up. When they let me out, I'll do the same thing if I get arrested.
I'll be back as soon as possible, if it's possible.
I'll be back as soon as possible but we'll keep you posted.
I'm back in love with my country because of you,
