ReadyforWarren conference call this Sunday 12/21--Q & A

[RiverLover]

Just got this email from 'Ready For Warren'

Hi,

I just got back from Iowa, where MoveOn.org held their very first "Run, Warren, Run" event. It was great to see so many Ready for Warren volunteers excited to join with our new partners and start building a real grassroots campaign in Iowa.

And at the event, Democracy for America's electoral director Annie Weinberg made a huge announcement: A whopping 87.6% of DFA members voted in favor of joining the campaign to draft Elizabeth Warren for president.

That means two of the biggest progressive groups in the country have joined this movement in just the past eight days!

I know a lot of people have questions about what this means for Ready for Warren and the draft Warren movement. That's why we're holding a special call this Sunday night at 8:00 p.m. ET to update everyone on all the latest developments and talk about where we go from here.

You can RSVP for Sunday's call here:

As we head into 2015, it's clear now just how much desire there is for Warren to run. No one can deny that the draft Warren movement is real, and it's gaining steam. On Sunday night, we'll talk about how to take things to the next level.

One thing I know for sure is that we're just getting started.

Talk to you Sunday.

Erica, Kate, and the entire Ready for Warren team

1. Goodness...I thought she had given it up.

But anything to encourage Warren to RUN! Run Warren, run!

[RiverLover]

2. Yes!! Run! She just says she isn't running now. And she wants people to stop asking, I think.

Reporters have been asking her that for over a year now & her response is always the same.

She'll announce when she's ready.

3. "Now" I guess every word counts.

4. Anyone else on this call tonight?

I think Manny was planning on it.

I'm looking forward to MoveOn getting more involved, because my overall impression tonight of ReadyForWarren's effort is underwhelmed.

Or maybe I'm just tired.

A few of the Qs revolved around, 'Are we doing this because we want Warren to be president or for another reason like framing the primary debates, or so she could be VP for Hillary?" And the people asking emphatically said they wanted to do this because they want Warren for president.

Erica, however, was not emphatic in her answers. She was decidedly wishy-washy, imo.

So I came out of it wanting to look more closely at Bernie Sanders!!



But that's today & who knows what tomorrow will bring.

I just know that tonight, I'm disappointed in ReadyForWarren.
