Elizabeth Warren: ‘Are you ready to fight?’
The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell -- 5/18/15
In a rousing speech to the California Democratic Party convention, the Massachusetts Senator told her fellow Dems,
"America is ready to stand with us. This isn't just about politics. It's about values."
There was a shout out
against the TPP too. 'No vote for it, unless we can read it!
And we are willing to fight for it!'
Here are a few more rally-cries from Warren's keynote speech, in California:
“Washington works great if you’re a millionaire or a billionaire or giant corporation,” said the former Harvard Law School professor. “It works great if you can afford to hire an army of lobbyists and lawyers. But it’s not working for California families. It’s not working for American families. We’re here to change that.”
[...]
She blamed the phenomenon on Ronald Reagan and “trickle-down economics” which gave “bigger breaks and better deals for those at the top.” For a recent example, she pointed to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s backing of a 13-percent cut to the University of Wisconsin.
“That’s another exercise in Republican leadership,” she said. “Cut taxes for the giant corporations and then say there’s no money for anyone else.”
[...]
“I know Washington is a tough place,” she said. “But we don’t win what we don’t fight for. We need people who believe that we can build a future. Not a future for some of our children but a future for all of our children. You are the heart and the soul and the living spirit of the Democratic Party. If we fight for our values will win. Are you ready to win?”
