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! Available at
cindysheehanssoapbox.com

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.
