You still think Elizabeth Warren is not as influential as Hillary Clinton? Just look at Move On's [View all]

information below. And there are still a year and 9 months to go before Nov. 2016:

Mark Crain, MoveOn.org Political Action - Run Warren Run - Feb 3 at 2:55 PM


It's happening. Elizabeth Warren's bold, progressive vision for our economy, her
straight-talking style, and her effective leadership are reshaping our political landscape.
Democrats in the Senate, President Obama, and even leading Republicans like Ted Cruz,
Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, and Jeb Bush are starting to sound like Senator Warren.1 Why?
Because her commitment to giving everyone a fighting chance resonates broadly—and
the louder her voice is amplified, the more Americans agree. That's why we're committed
to amplifying Sen. Warren's voice as loudly as possible—by urging her to run for president
and giving her access to the biggest megaphone in American politics. If she can have this
much impact as a senator, imagine the Warren Effect in a presidential campaign, or in the
White House. Can you chip in $3 to help keep our "Run Warren Run" campaign going and
growing?

Yes, I want to chip in to amplify Sen. Warren's message and urge her to run for president.

Let's look at the Warren Effect so far:
• Senate Democrats, emboldened by Warren's leadership, forced a Wall Street insider out
of consideration for an important post at the Treasury Department.2
• The president's State of the Union address focused on the kind of economic issues Sen.
Warren champions every day—leading some political commentators to observe it was as
though the speech was written by Warren herself.3
• And even Republicans are feeling the Warren Effect. Bush, Cruz, Paul, and Rubio suddenly
seem to understand that Americans care about income inequality—and they want to seem
like they care too.4
If this is Elizabeth Warren's impact as a leading voice in the Senate, imagine how much her
effect will be multiplied when she steps onto the largest stage in American politics: the
presidential primary.

We've hired field staff. We've opened offices in Iowa. And this past weekend, thousands of
MoveOn members across America attended hundreds of "Run Warren Run" house parties.
In short, with a whole year until the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses, we're serious about
building a movement big enough to encourage Sen. Warren to enter the presidential race.
Will you chip in $3 to keep this campaign going?

Yes, I'll chip in.

It's amazing that candidates of all stripes—even Republicans—are realizing that Sen. Warren's
message about reshaping our economy resonates with regular Americans. And for the political
insiders who were deaf to that fact, recent focus groups have grabbed their attention.5

But so far, some of these candidates are just talking the talk. Will they actually walk the walk?
Bush, for example, is against student debt reform, cracking down on Wall Street, and creating
a more progressive tax code. So we can't let him get away with talking about economic
inequality when his own policies further it. That's why we need Sen. Warren in the race. It's
not just rhetoric—it's a real vision, backed by bold policy. She has it. We need it. And the more
Americans hear it, the more we all agree. We can't let Republicans disingenuously campaign
on these issues. And we need to keep pushing Democrats to take strong stances on reshaping
our economy. The best way to do both? Convince Elizabeth Warren to run for president. Can
you chip in $3 to help with our campaign?

Yes, I'll chip in.

Thanks for all you do.
