“The media are wrong. The people who have come out to Camp Casey to help coordinate the press and events with me are not putting words in my mouth, they are taking words out of my mouth. I have been known for sometime as a person who speaks the truth and speaks it strongly. I have always called a liar a liar and a hypocrite a hypocrite. Now I am urged to use softer language to appeal to a wider audience. Why do my friends at Camp Casey think they are there? Why did such a big movement occur from such a small action on August 6, 2005?”

Civil Rights leader and personal friend of The Kings, Dr. Joseph Eckers Lowrey calls for our troops to come home, then several gold star parents give their very moving opinions on the state of the war in Iraq.
TECHNICAL NOTE: There is some messed up audio in the middle of this recording. I will fix it when I get back to Chicago. The gold star parents’ speeches are intact, so please just fast forward past the goofy part.
