Dear Friend,
Yesterday I enjoyed a busy day in Massachusetts on the campaign trail with Elizabeth Warren -- and the enthusiasm for her is palpable -- and building.
Let me underscore two things very quickly: one -- Elizabeth's campaign needs to keep growing its people-powered energy and that means we need your help, and two -- I want you to know why I'm so committed to this race.
Donate to Elizabeth's campaign today.
As I said in Somerville yesterday morning, I'm not making a case against anyone. I'm making a case for someone -- and that someone is Elizabeth Warren. I'm not telling anyone how to vote. Folks in Massachusetts make their own decisions.
But there is something that I can do because I see it and live it every day: I can take my everyday view of the Senate and paint a clear picture of the Senate you want vs. the Senate you risk having in January.
This race is bigger even than the two candidates -- it's a fight for the Senate itself. It will decide which party holds the majority and sets the agenda in the United States Senate.
Donate to Elizabeth's campaign today.
The vote in Massachusetts in November will decide the outcome of the first and single most important vote cast in the Senate in January: the vote for the Majority Leader of the Senate -- and the vote to choose the Chairs of the Committees. That vote determines what comes to the floor and what doesn't -- a vote that will decide whether the middle class gets a shot at fair tax reform or has the Ryan budget jammed at us. Whether Obamacare will survive. Whether new financial rules will disappear and we return to the policies that got us in trouble in the first place.
It matters whether the environment committee is chaired by a climate change denier.
It matters whether we have a Judiciary Committee Chairman who opposes Roe vs. Wade, and will block President Obama's judicial nominees.
It matters whether we have key education, health, labor, Medicare, and Social Security committees in the hands of Chairmen and Chairwomen who believe in those priorities -- or whether it's going to be controlled by a Republican Party that this year is nominating candidates who actually -- and these are their words -- compare student loans to "Stage 3 cancer," or a Budget Committee Chairman whose only gripe with the Ryan Budget -- and again these are his words not mine -- is that "Ryan’s plan doesn’t make large cuts fast enough."
That’s what’s at stake. Donate to Elizabeth's campaign today.
Some people call that "inside baseball" -- I call it facts. And facts matter.
I'd hate to think that we'd reelect President Obama on the same day that we'd turn the Senate over to a majority that would do from the Senate floor what we’d never give Mitt Romney the chance to do from the White House.
This is a race I care about deeply in the state I love, and it'll greatly affect the Senate which I revere.
Elizabeth Warren is a fighter -- and she'll be a great Senator if you can dig deep and help her get there.
Please join us today -- and let's go win this election!
John Kerry
Grate! Another cereal liar who should be mute and irrevalunt!
Spell czech is knot yore friend!
“F” off, Lurch!
Because you finally found somebody who's an even bigger phony than you are?
Hey—if John F’n Kerry likes her, that’s good enough for me! /sarc
It's always about race to these guys. There he is just trying to help the squaw out.
The MSM had Lizzie all set up as unstoppable when she announced.
She’s done a great job of stumbling over her own flubs.
Impressive that even in Kennedy country she may lose.
Can we make our donations in beads, trinkets and repeatin’ rifles?
They want a donation...
Should I send them $24 worth of cheap trinkets?
Whoever sharpie’d the numbers sucks. 730-45-0049/1110
I wonder if Live Shot (that’s what a local Boston talk host calls him) ever paid the Massachusetts sales that was due on that $600K yacht he bought.I also wonder if he’s ever paid the Massachusetts state excise tax due on the vessel.
That’s not a horse.
Send them a Postal Money Order for $1.It'll cost them $10 to process it and file all the reports required.
So? I don’t get it. Are you saying you need a horse to scout ahead? What am I missing?
Soylent Green is people-powered energy.
It matters whether the environment committee is chaired by a climate change denier.
Perhaps my post was too abstruse. That’s supposed to be a picture of a Cherokee Indian hunter — it’s a snide reference to Warren’s “Cherokee heritage”.
That is funny.
Maybe I’ll do the same for McCaskill in MO, Casey in PA, and perhaps Zero himself, hehe.
