America Needs Elizabeth Warren

Last week The Daily KOS reported that the Wall Street lobbyists were going into overdrive to keep Elizabeth Warren out of the U.S. Senate. This week, Warren's opponent, Sen. Scott Brown, revealed the efforts of those lobbyists had paid off:

Senator Scott Brown raised $3.2 million in the last three months of the year, boosting his campaign war chest to $12.8 million, the most that any Massachusetts candidate has accumulated at this stage of a statewide race.

That was some bad news, but the very next day Elizabeth Warren reported that nearly 100,000 of her small donors had crushed Wall Street's record-setting efforts:

Elizabeth Warren, the Harvard Law professor and consumer advocate whose US Senate candidacy has fired up Democrats across the nation, raised $5.7 million in the last three months of 2011.

Now the forces of greed have responded to Warren's continued ascent by calling in more backup. On Thursday, the Chamber of Commerce vowed to become "significantly involved" in Wall Street's campaign to defeat Warren.

The Chamber of Commerce has deep pockets, but we can kick their butts, too. Please, chip in $6 to Elizabeth Warren on Orange to Blue.
