"The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hasten the resurrection of the dead." William Lloyd Garrison

The apathy of most of America is stunning and appalling to me. When I found this quote I was filled with wide-eyed wonder that there is one statue left in America complete with statue, or one grave or tomb still occupied. Read More

"You're like an ambassador for peace," a Spanish journalist told me as we finished one of the dozens of interviews I gave in Europe. I did this interview right before I went to meet with the Spanish Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs.

In reality, I did feel like an ambassador for peace as I traveled around Europe for 16 days in December. Read More

Since hot, hot Camp Casey in August, some amazing grass roots actions have taken place all over the country. People are starting to speak up and Congress has begun to take action against the criminal and neo-Fascist regime that tried to take over America. Read More

Today was bitterly cold as I walked from the Charing Cross Tube Station to Parliament Square in London. I was heading there with my traveling companion, Julie, to go and visit Brian Haw after several exhausting, but productive days in England and Scotland.

Brian is a peace activist and exceptionally compassionate man who has been camping out and vigiling in Parliament Square since June 2, 2001. He was so enraged by the sanctions of the United Nations against Iraq that were supported by the US and his government that he felt like it was the only thing to do. Read More

It's not bad enough that people who have obviously not read my book are being hateful about it on Amazon, now the right-wing hate sites are spreading a false story that nobody bought my book at Camp Casey on Saturday.

That is not true, I sold all 100 copies and got writer's cramp signing them. Photos were taken of me before the people got in line to have me sign the book. We made 2000.00 for the peace house.

This is a letter from my publisher: Read More

Camp Casey 5

The spin on the news about our weekend in Crawford is wrong and very incomplete.

I was just watching a local news show that said our rally was "poorly" attended on Saturday. There were over 500 people that came in and out on Saturday. I don't call that poorly attended, especially for a holiday weekend. We feel so happy that we got that many people. People also came to Camp Casey instead of beating each other up at Wal-Mart. No word in the media about the 12 people who came out to Crawford that day to support the killers and the killing. Read More

For dKos readers:
Trust me. I don't feel lionized by you.
I do feel supported and loved.
I hope I will still get that support. I counted on it during the Camp Casey August days and you all helped me thru the smears and swiftboating.
Please don't feel that you are added additional stress to me by sending me supportive comments.
Women don't live by bread alone.

I was feeling very down when I was flying to Waco yesterday. I did a lot of crying and missing Casey on the way out from Sacramento. I am not at the place in my grieving yet where I can look at all of our good times and feel grateful for them. Remembering many, many happy Thanksgivings past only made me feel worse, not better.

Dear Friends
We had so much fun and success over the summer, we thought we would try Camp Casey again.

We hope that everyone can join us for all or part of the weekend...let's keep showing the media and our leaders that we mean business when we say "troops out of Iraq now!!" Read More
