U.S. Senate Candidate Elizabeth Warren Stops at J&M Diner in Framingham
Elizabeth Warren made a stop in Framingham today at J&M's Diner. She announced her candidacy to challenge U.S. Senator Scott Brown today, also.
Elizabeth Warren has joined the race for U.S. Senate.
We are proud to have done our small, but important part.
As Matthew Patton said in a packed J&M Diner in Framingham, where Elizabeth was having lunch today (Sept. 14), it was groups like ours that helped convince her to run.
The Draft Elizabeth Warren Metrowest Committee was formed on Aug, 30. None of its initial members knew each other before, though we are long time residents of Framingham and its surrounding suburbs.
We were all angered by the way our elected officials, like Scott
Brown, are turning attention away from the causes of the current
economic time of troubles and allowing banks and financial
institutions to kill the legislation that would prevent new
catastrophes from happening again and again. We need to rein in the
bubble makers who threaten our investments, our pensions, our home values, and our jobs. We need transparency in the economy and in our political process.
Warren is an impassioned warrior. She was not afraid to stand up to Wall Street for consumers, the middle class, working people, students or elderly.
The committee led a grassroots effort to draft Elizabeth Warren to run for Senate. The first information session was held on last wednesday Sept. 7 at at First Parish in Framingham.

I have been an admirer of Elizabeth Warren since seeing her guest appearance on Bil Maher and being shocked to hear someone so reasonable, logical and downright BRILLIANT speak about our economy and how we got to where we are. No BS, no game playing, no doublespeak - this woman appears to be the real deal. You know she's SO observant, outspoken and truthful that Congress did everything they could to keep her from assuming the position of the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the organization she helped FOUND? Apparently she was TOO good at identifying all the ways in which consumer are regularly and soundly screwed and some of the higher up screwERS got scared.
Read about her, listen to her speak, do some research and advocate for YOURSELF!

My wife Robin and I met her today at J&M. We liked what we heard and she actually took the time to talk with us. I wish her luck.

I have been watching Elizabeth Warren defend average Americans for the past few years in Washington and I was thrilled to hear she decided to run. We need someone in Congress with her skills, knowledge and commitment to saving the middleclass from extinction. I finally met her in person today and was equally impressed with her sincerity. It’s just too bad that every state doesn’t have an Elizabeth Warren running on their behalf.

Someday, Jim, you will post something POSITIVE and the whole community will fall down dead in shock, leaving you with what you apparently want above all else - to be Emperor of your own backyard.

I am so happy to have Elizabeth Warren in the senate race and that she came to Framingham. I hope she comes back many times. I am now looking forward to this Senate seat race.

oh, Brenda....I have decided not to read J&J R's posts. They both say the same thing over and over but in different words. AND yes they have every right to express themselves but I don't have to read it.

Nice to see Elizabeth Warren run. Massachusetts deserves good representation.
These 2 bozos comment on any subject even when they know absolutely nothing about it. They just like to see their names out there. Ignore them.

If you watched Rachel Maddow last night, Ms. (Dr.? Professor?) Warren was interviewed, and they showed footage from her visit to our very own J&M Diner yesterday!

She using all the same old language as all tax and spend idiots on the left. A government where half the people pay taxes and the other half doesn't is just not tenable. More of this Ted Kennedy madness will not work. Everyone has to have skin in the game and people on the public dole have no interest as long as they get their check. But this state is already a lost cause.

Nice to see there are some that see through all this political speak.....
Imagine another Ted Kennedy, God Forbid! Yes this State, Town, and Country even is pretty much gone. It's just a matter of time when the revolution begins.

" tax and spend idiots on the left" -- as opposed to the cut taxes and spend geniuses on the right .. who got us into a very expensive unnecessary war in Iraq! .. and who give big tax breaks to the wealthy and richest corporations .. take a closer look at scott brown's voting record .. you may not like what you see .. you want jobs? .. you care about the environment? .. you won't like Scott Brown .. but don't listen to me .. look at his record http://www.ontheissues.org/senate/Scott_Brown.htm

Does it really matter who's in there? We the people are the ones being played for fools. Does it matter whether you get stabbed with a knife of shot with a gun?
One thing is for sure we're turning into a welfare State and the line between the rich and the poor widens. Framingham is on the side of the poorer people and we have to deal with it.
