Boston, MA 02203 Dear Senator Elizabeth Warren, We, the undersigned artists, are joining hundreds of thousands of Americans who want to passionately urge you to run for President. Our country needs someone who will stand up for working families and take on the Wall Street banks and special interests that broke our economy. We need someone who stands up for the people--Americas students, mothers, retirees, teachers, minimum-wage workers--instead of for the big banks and corporations. We need someone who can inspire a nation to work together each day to make our country the best possible place to live, work, and raise a family. Income inequality hurts us all--and we need someone who isnt afraid to call out a political and economic system that is great for big corporations but fails Americas middle-class and working families. For too long everyday Americans have been hammered by this system while the wealthiest 1% benefits. Thats not the country we want to live in, and Senator Warren, we believe youre the fighter to address the deeply serious problems we face. Senator Warren, you know what it's like to work hard and struggle to get by--you've said that's what motivated you to stand up to corporate interests and fight for the rest of us each day. There's too much at stake to have anything other than our best candidates taking part in the debate; everyone is better off with a contested primary. We need powerful, tireless champions like you, Senator Warren, in the race to push for real solutions to income inequality and the influence of money in politics. Senator Warren, we're ready to show you that you have the support needed to enter this presidential race. We're ready to fight with you, Senator Warren. Please, run for President.
