I'm Sorry

Elizabeth Warren for Senate ^ | 9/29/12 | Warren

[pabianice]

Hello --

I'm writing to say I'm sorry.

Since I jumped into the race for the U.S. Senate, I have asked you for money through this email list again and again. And again.

I know that it is a real pain that you get a bazillion emails asking for money. And I know that every email (including this one) always has a "donate" button at the bottom.

Believe me, I hate it too. It is my least favorite part of being a candidate for the U.S. Senate, and it's something I really didn't look forward to when I decided to run.

But I also don't kid myself. I know that this is the most expensive Senate race in the country, and I know that the Republicans are flooding Scott Brown with Wall Street money [1]. He started $7 million ahead. We've worked hard, but the money has flowed in for him, so he is still $2 million ahead.

I also know I am able to run a competitive race without buckets of special interest money because of you, and, yes, because of all the emails. Together, we have built an organization that has raised more small donations than any other Senate campaign in the country. That's a big deal.

I was thinking about the very first contest we had in the campaign -- figuring out what should be printed on the back of our Elizabeth-for-Senate T-shirts. The winning slogan: The best senator money can't buy.

I love that sentence -- the best senator money can't buy. I say it to myself every day and every night.

I'm not going to Washington to work for Wall Street or Big Oil or billionaires -- no matter what.

I'm going to work for the people I talk with every day across Massachusetts.

A few weeks ago, Bruce and I sneaked off to the movies. We were on the platform waiting for the Red Line [2], when a young man walked up to introduce himself. He said he was a student, and he explained all the reasons he was supporting this campaign.

It was clear that money was tight for him -- full-time job while he's in school, two jobs in the summer, student loans, family can't help. We took a picture on his phone, and, as he was about to leave, he said, "I give you money every month, and I'm taking on hours so I can give more." I felt my chest contract [3], and I said thanks, but maybe he should keep the money. He said, "No, I'm part of this campaign. This is my fight too."

The student on the T-platform keeps me in this race -- able to run paid ads and to build a person-to-person grassroots organization across the Commonwealth. And for that, I'm grateful.

I'm sorry about all the requests for money. I am so grateful for your support. And I hope you forgive the "Donate" button at the bottom of every email -- and all the emails asking for money still to come.

Yours,

Elizabeth

Question: if thousands of us hit her donation button and offered to donate 1 cent, would it COST her campaign more to process the “donation” and thus she would end up LOSING money?

Just a thought.

“The notion that Princess Talking Bull was waiting for a Red Line train is hilarious.”

Princess Talking Bull...hahahahahahaha

Where our limo was supposed to pick us up and take us back to the Reservation.

LOL!!!

Yeah, she’s “Sorry” alright.....one sick, sorry, lying hypocrite

[Happy Rain]

If this mendacious fraud wins she will be the first American Indian senator as Horndog Clinton was the first African American president...

...pioneers of progressive perfidy,

[muleskinner]

Send her an Indian Head penny.

[hecht]

Its bad enough that this pos benefited by pretending to be an indian, but we now know her ancestors participated in the Cherokee expulsion.
This would be akin to a descendant of an SS officer claiming to be Jewish to gain a scholarship to Yeshiva University.
She should lose her tenure and go straight to hell.

[Happy Rain]

When she checked the box labeled “native American” to take advantage of an affirmative action program she thought they meant “naked American.”

Well Hell, she was born that way so why not?

[Ax]

If it bothers her so much to beg for funds, ill just skip the donate part.

[SERKIT]

Lie-a-watha.

[Iron Munro]

Lizzie Warren took an axe
And gave her grandma forty whacks.
And when she saw the job she’d done
She gave the voters forty one.

[Happy Rain]

Lying Leftists like Warren and Obama are getting so well known for their mendacity they can only ask for water when they are not thirsty.

[Happy Rain]

LOL clever:)

[Tex-Con-Man]

Isn't she entitled to some Oklahoma Cherokee Casino cash?

[Ax]

It was never an issue with me. I’d rather chew off a couple of fingers than give one thin dime to any rat.

[MplsSteve]

I completely understand that Massachusetts is really really liberal.

But given the way Eliabeth Warren has conducted her campaign and the way she’s (mis)represented herself, I am totally f***ing amazed that she is still considered a serious candidate. In so many other states, she’d be lucky to be polling 45% of the vote.

But then again, I’m from Minnesota and we actually sent an unfunny comedian to the US Senate. Given that, I guess nothing should surprise me anymore.

Funny you should post a pic of an Injun Head penny....a few days ago, we were leaving an eatery and wifey spotted a penny on the floor -- she ALWAYS picks 'em up, as a "luck" thing from childhood.

Yesterday, changing purses, she saw that what she'd snagged was a pristine 1901 Injun Head penny.....some poor sap probably dropped his longtime keepsake.

.....The coin book only tags it's worth at 8 bucks, but I'll never rag on her about picking up pennies in scuzzy parking lots any more.

[Happy Rain]

It's called political shock and awe...When Americans who have been indoctrinated from birth by Leftist media and academia with unearned self esteem rationalizations which invite destructive expectations of entitlement...suddenly become the voting majority and we all go into shock and awe that such a thing could ever happen in our America...
...but it just may will...we will see on 11/6 which may rival 9/11 in reminding the United States who her real enemies are.
