Granny Peace Brigade

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.” George Orwell

I'm a bit of a Jenny One-Note these days, but kids, something really exciting is going on in our country, and this is how I'm tapping into it and spreading the information.  My latest find is Granny Peace Brigade. 

Mission Statement:
We the Granny Peace Brigade stand for peace. We oppose the use of military force to resolve conflicts between nations or hostile forces. In case of war we advocate:
  • Immediate and unconditional cease-fire.
  • Meeting of all hostile forces directly involved, with a neutral independent mediator to resolve the conflict and establish a permanent peace.
  • No United States engagement in preemptive war actions.
Together we can make negotiation replace slaughter as the main instrument of U.S. foreign policy and restore our country’s honor.

The organization has also been supporting various Occupy movements.  Being a granny now, I'm signing up (though they welcome all ages and genders)!  See them on YouTube.  They are awesome and fearless.
