"I am scared. I am dismayed that this administration has prompted the very worst individuals in our communities to act out. Ignorance and egos alight the stage in some strange horrid play. I am scared.

"I realize that we have a number of international leaders whom are sublimely blinded by personal interest, personal commerce and self gratification at the expense of those who they are supposed to protect, nurture and support. I am scared. I know that one day clean water will be a luxury, one I may very well not be able to afford. I will probably die in debt than live in life … I am scared. I am so terribly frightened that my body will no longer be MINE. And that my mother's and sisters' bodies will no longer by THEIRS.

"OUR RIGHTS SILENCED by doctrines and bills which will place us in the dark, hobbled to be abused, pitched, grabbed and raped physically, emotionally and financially. I am very, very scared. That WAR will be the latest profit machine. I am so scared for my young families and my nieces and nephews; what will they inherit?"
