Camp Pelosi: Raging Granny Rescue Mission

by Granny Ruth R (info [at] raginggrannies.com)

Wed, Mar 21, 2007 12:53AM

Raging Grannies went on Rescue Mission....to Camp Pelosi. Loaded down with home-made food and supplies, 4 Grannies headed up to the big City from the South Bay/Peninsula to help CodePinkers recover after a rainy night at "camp".

Members of the Raging Grannies Action League reside in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties, so getting to Camp Pelosi was a feat in itself. Left Mountain View at 9:00 am....three hours later we arrived just in time for World Photos journalist to record us with CodePink at the historic encampment in front of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's Pacific Heights residence. Not content to let others record this important event, we document one day at Camp Pelosi here in PART I.

Wet from the morning showers at camp, but now fortified by Granny Goodies, CodePinker poses in front of Nancy's townhouse. Grannies agreed that maintaining our demeanor and staying ON the sidewalk was important. But we couldn't help but get up close.

Camp Pelosi tidied up and photographed, and CodePink demonstraters now cleaned up and fed, the Grannies declare "Mission Accomplished" and head back to the 'burbs like the good little country mice cousins we are. We ask Nancy, bring the troops home and meet our greater goals!
