http://www.propeace.net/node/1158 Comments for "Mothers Day Month with CodePINK" en http://www.propeace.net/node/1158 <p>Mothers Day was established in response to a Proclamation written by Julia Ward Howe in 1870. She called upon women to <em>say firmly: We will not have great questions answered by irrelevant agencies; our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy, and patience.</em></p> http://www.propeace.net/node/1158#comments Sun, 16 Apr 2006 21:23:02 -0400 Susan Livingston 1158 at http://www.propeace.net
