The Boston Globe's Ellen Goodman writes about "granny voters" and the sigificance of National Grandparents Day tomorrow, September 12. There are some seventy million grandparents in America, people who vote in large numbers. Granny Voter aims to show politicians that old folks care about the future of their grandchildren, that Social Security and Medicare aren't the only issues for the gray-haired.
"The official flower for National Grandparents Day has a rather plaintive name: forget-me-not. But the official bouquet from GrannyVoters to politicians has a much better handle: better-not-forget-us."
