(Tune: �Here We Go �Round the Mulberry Bush�)
I wanna be like Granny D,
Walkin� this land from sea to sea,
Workin� for true democracy --
When I�m 93.
I want a land where equality
Means poor folks can run for the presidency,
Not just the ones with the do-re-me --
When I�m 93.
I want a nation where all votes count,
Not just the ones with the big bank accounts.
No hanging chads and no miscounts --
When I�m 93.
I want a campaign that�s straight and true
With candidates like me and you.
Not George Bush, he hasn�t a clue --
When I�m 93.
I want a world where my grandkids can thrive
And everyone has what it takes to survive.
That�s my wish if I�m still alive --
When I�m 93!
I wanna be like Granny D,
Walkin� this land from sea to sea,
Workin� for true democracy --
When I�m 93.

Doris Haddock, aka Granny D.
If you don't know about Granny D, you really need to read about her.
She is an AMAZING woman.
She walked across the USA at 89 years old, from the Pacific ocean to Washington DC to promote campaign finance reform. After this feat, the McCain Feingold Campaign Finance Act was passed. I think they should have named it after her.
