Quotations

“I love my country, but I need to exercise my opinion as part of my First Amendment right. This country has become a military industrial complex, which is exactly what President Eisenhower about as he left office, and I must sound the alarm bell.” (Joan Wile, Grandmothers Against the War, p. 79; photo legacy.com)
