Elizabeth Warren, Speak Up, I Can’t Hear You


I posted to Elizabeth Warren’s Facebook Page,

The forces that the Occupy Wall Street movement is fighting are exactly the forces Elizabeth Warren has been fighting – for her whole career. As TARP watchdog and as inventor of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, this is Warren’s cause and her natural constituency. If she cannot speak up strongly for this fight, why are we to assume that she is more than just empty words?

And I posted

Why can’t Elizabeth Warren respond to the Occupy Wall Street movement as forthrightly as Senator Bernie Sanders has?

Instead of responding to what the whole world is talking about, Elizabeth Warren’s web site and Facebook page are full of the news that she raised $3.5 million for her campaign.  This sounds very Marie Antionette like, the people are starving, and have no bread and she wonders why they don’t just eat cake, or get excited about her campaign fund raising?

Speak up forcefully now, and the funds will follow.  Fail to speak up now and the votes may not follow.
