What the Archived Page Described

The page was titled as a missile silo inspection report dated July 26, 2003, and concerned Silo N-4. It was attributed to the Raging Grannies of Denver, a group the page described in its own words as feminist and anti-establishment grandmothers who use song for protest. The page was marked as published on August 11, 2003, and was associated with Colorado Communities for Justice and Peace at the ColoradoPeace.org address.

The Gathering at Stoneham

According to the archived text, the group gathered at Stoneham, Colorado, on July 26, 2003. The page states that members sang protest songs at Silo N-4 and voiced criticism of the federal administration, which they characterized as warlike and indifferent to people who were poor, homeless, or unemployed. The page also recorded the group's stated commitments, including to human rights, to the protection of land, and to peace. It further noted that they honored Sisters Ardeth Platte, Jackie Hudson, and Carol Gilbert, expressing admiration for their resolve and their concern for humanity.

Songs Recorded on the Page

The archived page included two song lyrics, each set to a familiar tune. One, sung to the melody of a well-known ballpark song, addressed nuclear testing and the lifting of a testing ban, and called for closing test sites in Nevada. The other, set to the tune of a nursery rhyme, offered a satirical critique of wealth and political power, touching on government, oil profits, and energy policy. These lyrics are summarized here rather than reproduced at length.
