Elizabeth Warren Money Bomb To Coincide With Scott Brown Event

Elizabeth Warren is looking to use the momentum from her eye-popping fourth quarter fundraising haul to launch her first money bomb. The event -- a concerted effort to raise a ton of cash from small donors all in one day, first popularized by Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) -- will be held at elizabethwarrenmoneybomb.com on Thursday, Jan. 19, the two-year anniversary of Sen. Scott Brown's (R-Mass.) victory over Martha Coakley.

Brown is marking the occasion by holding a major rally to launch his reelection campaign. The Republican incumbent took in $3.2 million last quarter, which paled next to Warren's $5.7 million, but the senator has roughly twice as much cash on hand -- nearly $13 million to a bit over $6 million.

"Next Thursday, Scott Brown is celebrating the two-year anniversary of his special election to the U.S. Senate with an official kick-off of his re-election campaign," Mindy Myers said in a statement provided to HuffPost. "He has been working hard to prepare, amassing a $12.8 million campaign war chest with millions of dollars more coming from Wall Street and Karl Rove. We need to narrow the gap, and we need to do it now. That's why we will be busy next Thursday too, putting on our first ever campaign Money Bomb. This is our greatest chance yet to show that we're in this together and that we can go toe to toe with the powerful interests that are lining up up against Elizabeth."

Warren has a passionate grassroots following that is only inflamed by the insertion of Karl Rove into the race. The Rove-backed American Crossroads has been funneling millions into the state in an effort to beat Warren, red-baiting one moment, calling her a Wall Street pawn the next.

If I were American I would send what I could within my means. Alas, I'm stuck between the Liberal Party and NDP to beat back our Cons up here in the Great White North.

I live in CA far far away from Mass. I've donated once to Warren's campaign but even though I'm on a budget I gladly just sent off $100 for this moneybomb event. Warren is the type of candidate we had more of in the 60's - people who put their heart and soul into a just cause. I'm convinced that she will become a Senator whose name will be recognized by every American - and for all the best reasons. I hope the HP readers will prove me correct on this prediction.

Remember Thursday Jan 19th!

warren is the really good decoy

arguing about it only serves to get dems backing her in a reaction to republicans

but like obama she is two faced bankster puppet

more proof?

she over saw hamp - yeah she over saw a totally efficient failure - which was suppose to help mortgage foreclose and failed miserably because like i said she is a really good decoy

this is the psyop disinformation planning that sinister 5th avenue evile geniuses use to manipulate the electorate, with no one challenging the fake lies because of the complexity of the double talk and because there are only 4 main stream media outlet that carve up the wealth beforehand behind closed doors...with obama and bhoener and the whole corrupt puppet club!

no really!

trillions are being looted and evile geniuses are manipulating this democracy for real!

Elizabeth Warren ~ TARP/HAMP Congressional Oversight Panel

being a member of the congressional oversight panel is not overseeing?
thanks for straightening me out

The Congressional Oversight Panel, lead by Warren, has been in the lead at making information public and bringing the complaints of the people straight to those in power. (It falls under her jurisdiction because HAMP uses TARP money.)

they keep saying how she is oversight of this and that and yet the failure goes on and nothing is done about it

so strange

so hard to understand

how such a highly promoted hero can be such a giant fake decoy

unless you agree with my original comment huh?

This MA resident clicked over to Liz's web site and happily parted with a $100.

Yes, it is that important.

Thanks for the idea. I just did the same thing even though I'm a CA resident. Ditto to 'Yes, it is that important.' I'll follow the thread to see which other states are 'represented' in here!

On Thursday, January 19th -- the two-year anniversary of Scott Brown's special election victory -- he's officially launching his 2012 reelection campaign with some big, attention-grabbing events in Massachusetts.

It's a critical time for us to demonstrate that the momentum we have in this race is real -- and that we have the strength and resources to beat the powerful interests backing Scott Brown.

So, on Thursday, January 19th, we are planning to make a big splash of our own. We are planning a massive, one-day fundraising drive -- they've been called a "money bomb" -- to raise as much money as possible to support Elizabeth.


That's what our "money bomb" for Elizabeth Warren is all about: Friends and supporters coming together and contributing, all on one day, to raise a big total and show the strength of Elizabeth's grassroots support.

We need to know we can count on your support.

Become a part of this big day for Elizabeth and for all of us. Pledge to contribute $5 on January 19th now.

We all remember the day Scott Brown was elected two years ago. We all know why he's trying to turn the 19th into a powerful, symbolic day for himself and his campaign.

We need to show that on his big day, we're going to be the ones who step up with the huge grassroots support it's going to take to win this race.

Thanks for your support,

Mindy Myers
Campaign Manager
Elizabeth for MA

No one ever said Repubs. Didn't have good ideas. It's just that when Pres. Obama embraces their good ideas Repubs. abandon them. Taxes, public mandate, cap and trade, a path to citizenship.
If Repubs. was smart they would support their own ideas, help the Pres. Push them through congress and then take credit or at least,share the victories with us all. Instead they distance themselves, attack,their own agenda, concede the spoils of victory to Obama, and then try to convince the American people that it was,a bad idea that originated with Obama. Maybe they will get tired of losing and get on the bus.

I sense, sadly, that this isn't the same Liz that was to head the P.B.

I pray to God I'm wrong.

I am squarely behind Mrs Warren and will more than likely be writing a check, but I need a money bomb of my own.

Shoog Warrens personal income statements have been released for the campaign.

What a hypocrite! 3 Million invested on wall Street

100k income taken from Dow Industrial component corporations.

BOOOOOOWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

OCCUPY HYPOCRISY!

Here's your problem. Liberals DO NOT have a problem with people making money. It's what they contribute to society that we are concerned with. Get a clue.

Why were Obama's charitable donations in 2007, 0.00%?

Why are Romneys 20% for past 30 years?
