GrammaJax, otherwise known as Rosemarie Jackowski, is an advocacy journalist living in Vermont. On March 20, 2003, her 66th birthday, she was arrested for participating in a peaceful protest against the war. After her arrest, she was incarcerated, hand cuffed, booked, finger printed, photographed, arraigned, tried, convicted and sentenced. The jury arrived at a guilty verdict in less than 10 minutes. The conviction has been appealed in the State Supreme Court. The decision of the court is expected to be rendered sometime within a year. If the appeal is won, the government will retry Rosemarie. If the appeal is lost, Rosemarie will most likely go to prison.

 

Rosemarie's main focus has been on the civilian deaths in U.S. war zones. She is a strong advocate for the payment of reparations to all who have been adversely affected by U.S. policies. Of special interest is the issue of Diego Garcia. Rosemarie has been an advocate for children since 1970. Other areas of interest are farm worker rights, and the contamination of the world-wide food supply with GMO's. She is a member of Veterans for Peace and a grandmother.
