Listen To Elizabeth Warren Speak


In the video above, we don’t get to Elizabeth Warren for quite a few minutes (8 minutes and 35 seconds), but it is worth hanging on to hear her. Or you could skip ahead to that part by using the slider under on the video.

If you had any fear (and I don’t know why you would) that Elizabeth Warren’s campaign for the Senate would be like Martha Coakley’s campaign, I think this interview would put those fears to rest.

I first saw the video in the story, Elizabeth Warren: We will not let Republicans ‘rip arms and legs off’ of consumer agency, on the Rawstory web site.


ALEC Exposed: State Legislative Bills Drafted by Secretive Corporate-Lawmaker Coalition


I first found the link to the above video on Truth-Out.

I finally found the list of bills mentioned. Bills Affecting Worker and Consumer Rights and More.

This is a list of bills and resolutions that attack worker and consumer rights.


Remember when they all laughed at Hillary Clinton for talking about some “vast right-wing conspiracy”?

One might wonder how she knew about it. When you wonder about this question, you then start to wonder how it came to pass that Bill Clinton pushed all these trade bills and he pushed the repeal of the Glass-Steagall act. These are some of the major items on ALEC’s agenda.

Did Hillary stop talking about the vast right wing conspiracy because of the ridicule? Or did someone she was very close to try to rein her in and keep her on the reservation, so to speak?

I suppose another possibility was that Bill had been duped by ALEC, and Hillary’s remarks were an attempt to repent for the mistakes of Bill.

Good research always raises more questions than it answers.
