Mother's Day is going to suck for George Bush.

Antiwar activists from around the country will celebrate Mothers Day by converging on Washington, DC, where they will demand Congress end the U.S. occupation of Iraq.

“We want to get people out and get them active,” said Tina Richards of Salem, Missouri. “We’re getting in the way [and saying] no more business as usual until you pass legislation that brings our troops home and takes care of them when they get back.”

Richards brings her own war story to the week of action. Her son Cloy is a Marine who served two tours of duty in Iraq. The military lists him as 80-percent combat disabled.

“He’s got knee injuries, arm injuries, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder,” Richards said. “He’s also got another claim pending for a traumatic brain injury, which will put him at 100-percent disabled.”

Richards said her son sustained most of his injuries after his first tour in Iraq, adding the family protested his second deployment but to no avail. After four years on active duty, Cloy Richards is now in the individual ready reserve and faces the possibility of a third deployment to Iraq.

Tina Richards said she can’t believe the military would even consider that.

It almost seems like the ones that die in Iraq are the lucky ones. At least they know their nightmare is finally over.

I think it should be clear to everybody that George Bush hates our country and our military. All that patriotic doublespeak is just a load of crap.
