Cindy Sheehan

Following the death of her son Casey in Iraq, Cindy Sheehan's public persistence in demanding the truth from Bush in the summer of 2005 inspired tens of thousands to speak out and resist. Tireless, fearless, audacious “peace mom” Cindy Sheehan has now written a new book called Myth America: 10 Greatest Myths of the Robber Class and the Case for Revolution!

Mike Mlekowski Marine artilleryman who served during the initial invasion of Iraq: “The initial invasion of Iraq was the beginning of my involvement in the anti-war movement, although I didn't realize it then. Upon calling off the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, I realized that everything we had fought for and sacrificed was for a lie. Three years later I would join Iraq Veterans Against the War and ever since then have grown to believe that almost all wars are based on lies and deception.”

Matt Sezer Senior in high school and filmmaker, Matt speaks both as an active resister and a member of the generation who is being called on now to join the US military to become the 40,000 additional troops that Barack Obama has pledged to enlist.
