So far, Elizabeth Warren & Deval Patrick have not. Patrick said he didn't think it was appropriate for him to make a statement one way or the other...something like that.

She did not put it on her office Letterhead. She like anyone else can and should show her support if she chooses to. She is a shopper as are many of her neighbors and friends. there is no reason not to write the letter.

than convenience stores. I hope she does the employees, her constituents who shop there and herself some good with this letter.

Even five dollar donations could add up. And would also show love.
