http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070119/pl_af... (AFP) - Grandmothers Molly Klopot and Betty Brassell came from New York to protest against the Iraq war before the US Congress.

"We are going to monitor our elected representatives to see if they do what we voted for them to do," said Klopot, 87, who says she has been a militant for more than 60 years.

She and Klopt were arrested on October 17, 2005, with 16 other women, aged 59 to 91, when the group tried to enlist in the US military in New York's Time Square to replace grandchildren who had been deployed in Iraq.

The arrests gave birth to The Granny Peace Brigade. Now, more than a year later, the pair were still clamoring for recognition from the government
