Raging Grannies Action League and MoveOn Council 14 Present:
BOXING FOR DOLLARS WITH DICK AND JANE

See Dick. See Jane. See Dick v. Jane.

When our Cheney impersonator, MoveOn member Gerry Hiken, is on the scene he EXUDES that Cheney air of arrogance...

Role of Citzen Jane played by Raging Granny Jane E., who doubled as costume designer for our skit.

Reporters from TV, radio, and print media inspired our Dick and Jane to get "punchy". Just when it looked like Citizen Jane was going to win, Dick pulled a mean trick and ran away with the giant check representing money that SHOULD have stayed in our Congressional District for health care, education, repairing the aging infrastructure, and more!

Event was cosponsored by: MoveOn Council 14, Raging Grannies Action League, Veterans for Peace Chapter 101, San Mateo Peace Action, Declaration of Peace San Mateo County, Los Altos Voices for Peace and Peninsula Peace and Justice Center.

Bernard's T-shirt reads "Veterans for Peace" in Arabic...I think. Bernard represented Chapter 101 of the South Bay at the Rally...his solar powered CD player cannot protect him from the harsh reality...Cheney has won!

That's our Host of the Event, MoveOn member Matt Fiori. After the fight and a Raging Granny singalong, Matt led the gathered demonstrators to Congresswoman Anna Eshoo's office. That's Matt facing forward, the tall handsome and very young fellow. Young to Grannies, that is...he's the age of some of our grandkids!
