Elizabeth Warren And Tammy Baldwin Hosting Joint Fundraiser In Philadelphia

WASHINGTON -- On Monday, Massachusetts U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren will be teaming up with fellow Senate candidate Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) for a joint fundraiser in Philadelphia.

Tickets for the luncheon reception start at $250 and go up to $10,000, according to a copy of the invitation acquired by The Huffington Post.

The event is being hosted by Peter Buttenwieser, a top Democratic donor who helped raise more than $500,000 for the Obama campaign in 2008.

"I feel honored to have two such bright, principled, exceptional women join us on November 21st. It means a lot to our community. It will 'grow' us," wrote Buttenwieser in the invitation.

"Both women have fought for the middle class and those at least advantage. If Tammy Baldwin is elected in Wisconsin, she will be the first openly gay Senator ever to serve in the United States Senate. This would entail making history at its very best."

Baldwin and Warren are two of the most high-profile Democratic candidates in the 2012 cycle, and both are favorites of progressives. They recently set up a joint fundraising committee called the Massachusetts Wisconsin Victory Fund.

On Dec. 9, Warren is also co-hosting a fundraiser with Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) in Washington state. A consultant for Cantwell called the two a "natural fit" given their work fighting for tougher financial regulations.

I notice lots of dissing of both these woman by conservatives here, but not one valid challenge of these two women espousing the same thoughts and values as the founding fathers.
Funny that.

Why do we need to know that Baldwin is gay? I have NEVER seen a headline defining someone as heterosexual; why, because it is irrelevant to all issues except those dealing directly with gay rights. I wish the press would stop pointing it out every chance they get. Being gay is not some kind of heroic deed that needs mentioning all the time. Just drop it.

Neither of these two will be sleeping. They'll be too busy scaring the crap out RePug/Baggers.

All the pictures of Ms. Warren seem to depict her as a kind, unoffensive woman of the people.
Too bad she's a total socialist.

[larmarch5]

03:43 PM on 11/17/2011

Too bad old geezers think "socialist" has any relevance to anyone under age 70.

[pseudonymXXVI]

03:46 PM on 11/17/2011

Warren? Socialist? Doubt it. If she was, she'd be carrying Massachusetts easily =)

I don't know if I can speak for every MA voter, but I'd personally rather be represented by Warren than some sleaze ball who posed nude for extra cash.

Do you think about Scott Brown being nude a lot?

Dude you are really weird for saying that.

Oh wait, you're a Democratic man.

These two ladies will drive the good ole boys, republican and democrat, out of their comfort zones.

Miss fancy pants will let you in if you have $10k.

03:23 PM on 11/17/2011

Oh please. $250 is the starting contribution. There's nothing unreasonable about having a fund-raiser dinner.
Want access to her for free? She's spoken at many town hall meetings in MA.

It's a fundraiser, duh! Seems to me gopers were charging to get into their town hall meetings.

It would take the women to show the way to fund raise cooperatively and share the revenues (I guess). Good ideas and smart women - Hope they are all elected in 2012!

The stench is emanating from you.

You liberals/regressives don't seem to be getting much traction here. There's certainly nothing positive to be said about your heroines.

[aintitgrand]

03:03 PM on 11/17/2011

Who do you feel positively about?

[Greta42]

03:07 PM on 11/17/2011

nedmunds - You do know that you and your fellow repubs are known to be the REGRESSIVES don't you?

[TJHOPE]

03:25 PM on 11/17/2011

It's hard to believe that there were 21 nedmunds before him/her. That's got to be a pretty toxic gene pool.

oh boy i'm so for Ms Warren winning, but every time I get excited and cant wait for her to get work done, i just realize she's going to let us down like Obama did.
Third party here I come.

[Greta42]

02:58 PM on 11/17/2011

Oh come on, you're a Brown supporter.

[Bizmark]

03:09 PM on 11/17/2011

The grammar is a clue as to orientation but what makes the writer "realize" that she will be a let down is anyone's guess. As for third party dreams, dream on.

And the ConservativeChampion in Walker's corner who thinks these ladies will lose, you too may dream on. its a wonder that you still know how to breathe.

[disporting]

02:54 PM on 11/18/2011

I just am skeptical of politicians and their rhetoric. They just use it to obfuscate their actions once they are elected.

Two people looking to be defeated in 2012.

Keep thinking that....I love it when our best and brightest are underestimated.

[ConservativeChampion]

Your best and brightest.......

I won't say anything; its just too easy...

The real loser will be your hero, Scott Walker of Walkerstan.
