I'm Running!

I'm running!

Today, I am launching my campaign to represent the people of Massachusetts in the United States Senate. After listening to people all across our state who know that we can do better, folks who are frustrated like I am that Washington just doesn't get it, I'm running for the Senate so I can fight every day for Massachusetts families.

I hope you'll take a minute to watch this short video:

Washington gives some of the biggest corporations in the world special loopholes and tax breaks, while middle-class families and small businesses struggle.

That is wrong. Our hard-working families deserve someone who believes in them, someone who is going to stand up and fight for their interests.

That's why I'm running for the United States Senate.

I've fought all my life for working families, and I've stood up to some pretty powerful interests. Now those interests are sure to line up against our campaign -- and that's why I'm asking you to help me build the grassroots support we need to beat them.

Please click here to watch my announcement video - and while you're there, be sure to sign up to join our campaign.

Then I hope you'll share my announcement video on Facebook or Twitter.

We have a chance to help rebuild America's middle class. We have a chance to put Washington on the side of families.

We can do this - together.

She seemed so intelligent in " Maxed Out ", but it turns out that she is just another wacked-out lib who has a degree or more but has no sense of business and what it truly takes to run this country and get things back on an even keel. Pointy-headed, book smart, college educated ( indoctrinated ), elitist liberals who have never produced anything that grows the economy thinking that their view from their ivory towers is better than the rest of America sees. Wrong!

She says a lot of great things, but doesn't back it up with facts, and what she would really do. That and the fact that I get a weird feeling watching her speak. Which usually isn't a good thing. Trust your intuition, that's what I say, although I get a similar feeling with Brown so the choices are limited.

The fact is that she talks about the basic workings of US society. Another fact is the all such knowledge should be on the tip of every citizen's tongue. Another fact is that the latter isn't the case. Another fact is that each online citizen is fully capable of accessing all of those facts to verify whether they're valid. Another fact is that we wouldn't be in our current mess if more citizens did their own homework instead swallowing that swill from the trough of partisan dogma. That weird feeling that you're getting is the knowledge gap, the uncertainty of confronting information that you aren't prepared to evaluate. Intuition has no intrinsic virtue in such instances. If you "trust" it under such circumstances, you're relying on nothing useful.

She seems like what she truly is: a pretentious, arrogant product of academia and so called progressive politics. Scott Brown will obliterate her if she ends up being the Democratic nominee. You need more than warmed talking points from moveon.org to win in Massachusetts these days!

[Jayjaybe]

Wow, are you confused. She give talking points to Moveon.org. What's the alternative to "progressive"? "Pretentious" is a sad, desperate grasping at impotent disparagement. Of the academics across the nation, Elizabeth Warren is among the least so. Scott Brown will be toast by spring.

Brooksley Born was another woman who knew what's what. During the Clinton administration, she battled the treasury department bullies. They won. We lost. Ms. Born knew exactly what was going on then and where it would lead - financial collapse, recession, perhaps depression. We're there!

If only Congress and the president and the Federal Reserve, and the Treasury Department had listened to a woman in the 1990s. They treated Elizabeth Warren the same way 2011. They never learn. Do we?

This is a clear case of the mainstream vs. the far left.
I wonder who the voters of Mass. will go for?

Your "clear case" will face-plant shortly. Never underestimate an Oklahoman

Better put: A clear case of Scott Brown--an investment bank wall street lackey--against Warren--the only mainstream voice who has tried to check the runaway consumer abuse of the financial industry. You are aware that she has worked hard to stop the practices that thrust this country and most of the rest of the world into the recession? Do you even care? Is it just easier to mindlessly hold onto slogans and pre-packaged attitudes than think about the world?

Great, another politician that is "tough on business." That's sure to resolve the jobs crisis.

[havisham]

It will help if she means it. It time to give money back to workers and bring jobs back from abroad. It's time for everyone who works for a living or who has struggled in vain to find dignified work to take their country back.

Elizabeth should be running for the presidency, not the senate.

I agree; we need a win for the GOP

Your desperation is noted with amusement

Nice try, she will be more dangerous to the GOP in the Senate.

good luck to you Elizabeth Warren..

our country needs you!

Bravo, Elizabeth. When you get there don't let it corrupt you.

Congratulations for the run! There are two amazing women who represent our state and have for a long time. I am going to be donating to your campaign, I mean, its not a lot but I hope it will add up with others like me who want someone speaking straight. I see too that you are fair. I don't expect everything I want, we are not a dictatorship. What I like about you is that I know you can think, and reason and consider.

I also know you know the banking laws and the foundation we set for our country by introducing a stable banking system. I hear all these supposed business people defending what happened when its clear, Republican or Democrat, the system was dismantled to allow for what has happened.

Unfortunately, there were too many Democrats helping. Like now, the ones going against the President's Job Bill. Really? Was it because the Bill offered too little help to Americans? No, it was because of "Austerity." Really? Now?

If I lived in Mass. she would surely get my vote. She is not a phoney, she is real and she is for the middle class and the poor. I hope the people of Mass. take a long hard look at the candidates before they vote and I wish her all the luck in the world. We need her in Washington.

[bleedingheartlibertarian]

what is " for the middle class and the poor" mean? Keeping desperate people on a minimum life support and voting democrat out of fear of losing it? not exactly the American dream.

[TabaskoKat]

09:57 PM on 09/18/2011

where do you come up with that?

please, id like to know when EW suppoerted the status quo?

[weathergirl]

11:25 PM on 09/18/2011

the fear should not be of or coming from the progressives, the fear should be of the corporatocracy that the GOP and the Tea Baggers are creating to destroy the middle class and turn all of them into indentured servants or slaves!
