Creative Aging with THE RAGING GRANNIES

by Bill Carpenter (wcarpent [at] ccsf.edu)
The Raging Grannies "bared all" at the Creative Aging Symposium held in San Francisco, June 15, 2009.

Posing as the scheduled entertainment for the symposium, they took the stage and made the case for Single Payer Health Care Reform.

The Symposium was sponsored, in part, by an insurance company, and also gets funds from AARP which acts very much like a corporate insurance company and is against any health care reform that would eliminate insurance companies.

IN THE VIDEO: Some members of the crowd look suspicious, others sing along with the Grannies who croon, "We won't feed CEO's anymore!" to the tune of This Little Light of Mine.

Eight-minute QuickTime movie. 36MB.
