I wish I knew what she did with her money.\n\nOne thing for sure she is spitting on the grave of her Son when she refers to his comrades as terrorists.\n\nIm sorry she lost her Son but her actions are encouraging the Terrorists and her actions will not bring her Son back to life.\n\nNot to mention she met with Hugo Chavez who is so Anti-American (Pat Robertson where are you?)

No.\n\nMoney shouldn't be of importance here. It's not the most important thing in life. Being happy is.\n\nIf your friend felt that the war is justified and he wants to serve his country and believes he would be doing good, then go. But not just for money, especially if you disagree with the Iraq war.

Thank you for posting this question Courtney. I have read so much false rhetoric and propaganda from the right wingers on this subject. They don't have the information because none of them have served a second in any wars. It makes me sick to listen to their comments. I do know about the over 50,000 that are wounded and disabled permanently. This is the same things, and types of treatment that they gave to the servicemen coming back from Vietnam. The Republicans will call them lazy, and welfare cases in a few years from now. I am sorry that I ranted on here, but my cousins were killed in Iraq, and I have an Uncle that lost his legs. The Government hardly helps him now, and he is totally disabled. He gets $780.00 a month for his service to his Country.

FINALLY, a legitimate question.  And the fact is they DON'T.  Social programs have been cut, to the bone.  And they are closely monitored and tracked by sister agencies, such as the IRS.  \n\nI am an American and due to a disabling illness I was forced to use some of these agencies.  The paperwork and proof that they needed was astounding.  From college loans to food stamps.  If you are not who you say you are, live where you say you live, pay utility bills where you live and make an income of well below poverty you will NOT get assistance.  I don't give a flip who you are or where you came from or how poor you are.  At the time my income was $7000 a year and I qualified for $64 a month in food stamps.  \n\nI am a white, middle age, single head of household female.  I have worked and paid taxes since I was 14 years old.  I am also an honorably discharged veteran.  Everywhere I looked for assistance I found the agencies to be woefully inadequate.  As did many other veterans suffering from debilitating injuries caused by WAR.  \n\nSo for anyone to say that there are are all these wasteful programs, goods and services going to illegal immigrants, they just don't know.  If they ever get sick, as I did, and have to turn to the government for assistance, they may see just how asinine their claims have been.  \n\nWhere they get this information is not hard to figure out.  What is mind boggling is the masses that believe this crap.  \n\nWe pay taxes so that society can function smoothly.  And once we pay them they are not "ours" any more than our food money is ours once we spend it at the store.  The hysteria over "my tax dollars" was nothing more than a smoke screen.Now, guess who is really getting BIG financing from tax revenues and what is their real agenda?  \n\nPlease vote.\n\nPeace.

Let me start off by saying that to support the war is different than to support the country, especially since we blame the soldiers for a war they either went into to help or, the unspoken side of the matter, were forced to fight due to the draft. Answerman63, I believe she's saying she doesn't want her relatives dying for a lost cause, a meaningless cause, not kill them so YOU can say "God bless America," in the safe confines of your home, as oddly enough, the rich that support the war never volunteer. Let me also add, that we OUGHT to be in  Africa, fighting real terrorists, the Janjaweed, or looking for Osama bin Laden, in Pakistan.\n\nI can tell your pain, Diane. When your familiy is in a war, that still delivers feelings of fear for them. But when they are in a war with absolutely no meaning, it makes it all the more painful. It's like amputating a good leg; meaningless, painful, and irreplacible. For the rest of you that THINK she is just bashing her own bloodline, let me feed your bias: imagine that we entered this war under the Clinton Administration, imagine that 3 years ago, Billy and Hillary stood out there with champagne with a banner above them reading, "Mission Accomplised", while children were left to be slaughtered and maimed in Iraq, meanwhile there is no one to stop Osama, and terror being reigned on the children (and I mean literal children this time) in Uganda by Joseph Kony and the Janjaweed. Imagine that, and then tell me how meaningfull the war is.

Probably is. Just like lottery winnings are. They aren't earned income, but they're income.

I give money to agencies to supply aid and comfort to the troops and, just as importantly, I also give money to Veteran agencies (DAV and Paralyzed Veterans of America, for example).\n\nAlthough I would probably disagree with some of your political stances, I respect your right to disagree with the war and the President, and I'm glad you can separate your aid to the troops from those feelings.\n\nEverybody should thank a member of our military, current and past, at every possible opportunity.

This person is a Idiot. Just like Bush, Cheney and Rummy. She has no clue at all just like Rush. Her books sell only to sheep lead by the ring in their nose like her. Must be allot of sheep buying her crap, she owns two homes one is $1.8 million. She got a $25,000 tax reduction on that home calling it her "homestead" exemption. That means she must live there over 50 percent of the time. The court papers I read indicate the locals in the Court House ask for that money back from her. It is a Felony to lie on a application for a tax exemption. She may not understand the law.

I was unhappy with the way they dealt with donations for 9/11, so I'm holding a grudge now.  We are PRESSURED into giving to UW and looked down upon if we don't at my workplace.  I don't dig bullied donations- what's the point?  On the plus side though, UW really does help lots of local charities.  \n\nIf you feel like your money would be better used by skipping the middle man, by all means, skip the United Way.

Jon Stewart (I love his show) recently had a figure on there that, including the most recent request for $, the war in Iraq is costing each US taxpayer +$2,000.  That's EACH!  \n\nOf course, he made this point too.  We aren't paying for it, you and I.  Who will pay for it?  Our grandkids - because while we are fighting two wars right now, we are also cutting taxes and increasing the deficit and therefore the debt.

No....she's the mother of the soldier killed in Iraq that protested and stalked Bush...\n\nShe's an extreme liberal...DEFINITELY NOT ONE OF PHELP's PEOPLE!\n\nWestboro Baptist Church is run by Rev. Fred Phelps, the originator of "godhatesfags.com"\n\nBeing that Cindy is an extreme liberal, I think she'd be the LAST person Fred Phelps would ask to diner...let alone be part of his hateful church. (which by the way...is mostly just his family anyway)

so contact your congressman and your senator and have them vote no.\n\nAs you even indicate -- Rice is only asking for the money, nobody has said that she has it to be spent yet.  There's a process that must be followed.

ah ya I would tell...it's not fair! she and other people like her are the reason taxes are always going up.\ni would tell but keep anonymous

I walk for the March of Dimes, I donate blood and work @ wintertime with shelters to clothe/feed the needy.  I plan on donating my ponytail to Locks for Love, to make wigs for cancer-ridden, chemotherapy devasted children. (Yes, I am a long haired male.)\n\nAt my childs school, if they ask for $5 per child for a party or trip, I will send $15-$20 with a note to use the extra for those who can't afford it.  I don't do charity.  I do what  I feel is right, to help others truly help themselves.  Hence, my answering here.  Especially in the political sense, if I can make a few free thinkers wake up and see one iota of truth, then I am helping.\n\nI am affiliated with neither of the corrupted political parties.  I am endeavoring to creating a party that will only represent the needs (not wants) of the United States citizenry, as a WHOLE.  I want to place true Americans into positions of power, as I believe an Ivy League education should disqualify one for governmental service.  I want to turn back the clock to when public service meant something to be proud of, not a chance to rape and bilk the Citizens.

I'd like to know exactly what those funds are for, since the soldiers have to do without helmet inserts that protect them from the percussion of explosions, and useful flak jackets, and jeeps held together with bubble gum, rubber bands and prayers.\n\nWhy isn't there a special investigator/investigation into the spending of our money on this "war"?

Is deportation an option?\n\nShe's obviously unhappy here. Maybe she'd rather go someplace where she can deal with some REAL problems. There are plenty of systems of "government" under which she would be permanently silenced, and disappear. Cindy Sheehan WHO??\n\nShame on her for desecrating the life and the memory of her own son.
