Received this e-mail today from the great Senator Elizabeth Warren (D. MA) in support of fellow progressive champ, Senator Brian Schatz (D. HI):
There are plenty of people in Washington looking out for the billion dollar corporations and lobbying for Wall Street.
But you want to know who doesn’t have an army of lawyers and lobbyists? Working families.
Think about this for a second: Right now, the government is giving away billions of dollars in subsidies to Big Oil companies – some of the most profitable companies on the planet. But at the exact same time, the government is making billions of dollars in profit off our kids’ student loans.
Senator Brian Schatz is precisely the kind of Democrat we need fighting to level the playing field for working families. He’s fighting for an economy where we put the conditions in place so every kid in Hawaii and across the country has a chance to succeed.
Make a donation right now to help keep my friend Brian Schatz in the U.S. Senate to fight for what we believe in.

Brian holds the same commitment as I do to make sure college is a path to opportunity, not a road to crushing debt. He knows that student loans are stopping more and more young people from moving out of their parents' homes, starting small businesses, or making purchases that grow our economy.
Together, Brian and I just introduced the Bank on Students Emergency Loan Refinancing Act to let people refinance existing student loans to today’s lower interest rates. It’s just one way that we can put real money back into young people’s pockets and give them a little bit of relief.
And Brian Schatz is fighting for what’s right in so many other ways too. On Social Security, equal pay, clean energy, and so many other issues, Brian is leading the charge to put working families above special interests.
When we stand together, we can make change on the issues we care about. Let’s stand with Brian Schatz.
Make a contribution by June 1st to keep Brian Schatz in the U.S. Senate so he can continue to fight for working families in Hawaii and across the country.
