Doris Granny D Haddock (1910-2010): Remembering Legendary Campaign Finance Reform Activist

Doris Granny D Haddock, one of the leading fighters for campaign finance reform in the United States, died on Tuesday at the age of 100. In 1999, just shy of her ninetieth birthday, Granny D walked 3,200 miles across the country to promote campaign finance reform. She is widely credited for galvanizing the public support that helped pass the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Act in 2002. We replay an excerpt of a 2004 interview with Granny D in the midst of her campaign for the US Senate against New Hampshire incumbent Judd Gregg. [includes rush transcript]

campaign finance. The REAL problem in Washington. I'm glad somebody was vocal about this 'dirty little secret' in DC on both sides of the aisle. End corporate tyranny! It's enough!
