style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Granny
D (aka Doris Haddock) is a 96-year old catalyst for campaign finance
reform. She became a national heroine when she completed her
3,200-mile, 14-month walk
across America to bring attention to the need for limiting political
contributions.
According to Bill Moyers:</span></span></p>
<p
style="line-height: 0.207701in; margin-left: 0.425833in; margin-right: -0.135833in;"> </p>

style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">“Doris
Haddock set out to walk across America to protest the betrayal of
democracy by money in politics. That mission she accomplished. . . .
This
is no innocent grandmother naively protesting a cause. Granny D is a
seasoned activist, an eloquent speaker and writer and an acute observer
of the world around us.”</span></span></p>

style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">In
2003 and 2004, Granny D embarked on a 23,000 mile tour of the "swing
states,"
encouraging women and the residents of poor neighborhoods to register
to vote. She
walked through housing projects many said were too dangerous to visit.</span></span></p>

style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">In
2004 she ran a grassroots campaign for the US Senate and got 34% of the
vote in
New Hampshire while refusing to take special interest money. When the
red state of
New Hampshire turned blue in 2004 by a mere 9,000 votes, her campaign
was given
a share of the credit. The Nation magazine called it "one of the most
provocative and
inspired candidacies this country has seen in years."</span></span></p>

memoir entitled, “Granny D: You’re Never Too Old Too Raise a Little
Hell”
(Random House) is required reading on some college campuses. Former
President
Jimmy Carter said, “Doris Haddock is a true patriot, and our nation has
been blessed
by her remarkable life. Her story will entertain, inform and inspire
people of all ages
for generations to come.”</span></span></p>
