This part TWO covers Granny D's arrival in Washington DC after her 14 months walk that ended with her cross county skiing along the C & O Canal into Washington DC (The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal) because a snowstorm had made it impossible to walk along the roads. Also in this program references to her continued work against money in politics for ten more years which included her arrest in the rotunda of the Capitol building, and her campaign for Senate in NH.
Granny D lived to see the Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ruling that corporations are persons and have First Amendment rights and that the government cannot impose restrictions on their political speech. Amy Goodman quoted her in a Democracy Now tribute after Granny's death at age 100: At her 100ds birthday party Granny D said: "I guess the Supreme Court burned down our little house - but truth be told it was pretty drafty anyway. We had not really solved the problem of too much money in politics, not hardly. Now we have an opportunity to start clean and build a system of reforms that really will do the trick."
