Elizabeth Warren Films 'It Gets Better' Video

[onehandle]

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren has released an "It Gets Better" video, drawing upon her experience as a schoolteacher to reassure LGBT youth who may be getting bullied that their lives will improve when they get older.

"I'm Elizabeth Warren, and you may be wondering what I have to say to you," she says in the video, which debuted on Wednesday. "After all, I haven't lived your life. But when I graduated from college, I was a schoolteacher, and I watched what happens in hallways, on sidewalks, out in the schoolyard. I watched kids who pushed, who bullied. I saw how much pain some kids could inflict on other kids."

Warren tells struggling young people who may need help to call the Trevor Project, a national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services for LGBT youth.

"Because here's what you'll find," she says. "There are a lot of different people out there in this world, and a lot of people who celebrate those differences. That's what makes us strong. That's what makes us exciting. So, hang in there. It gets better."

12. So will I

She's someone that we need in the Senate, wish it was here as one of our senators though. I do think she has what it takes to possibly be our first woman President. President Warren sounds so good, Just the thought gives me a warm feeling all over, one like we're not alone any longer

21. This woman could very well be our first female President. She's terrific!

3. Thank you Elizabeth!

[Arkana]

4. How does a rookie politician hit this many liberal g-spots this quickly?

Does she have crib notes or something?

(She's really good at this).

[Ruby the Liberal]

5. Guessing you haven't seen video of her testifying before Congress

or leading the oversight panel.

No one can put Wee Little Timmeh the Geithner in his place like her.

[cbayer]

6. Wow, just wow.

[WoodyD]

7. It WILL get better

when we have this gutsy woman and more people like her in the Senate.

8. Cool - Brown refused to join the rest of the delegation in their It gets better spot

- and he took some flack for that. In addition to it being good in itself, this should bring up the fact that he refused.

9. Just when I think Warren can't top herself... She proves me wrong again and again

Warren 2016!

[roguevalley]

10. she is lovely and should be president

[MarkCharles]

11. I don't recall, did Scotty Brown do one of these??????

I tend to doubt it.

Doubt he would want to blow away 1/2 of his bigoted supporters.

But maybe he's about to release one tomorrow... in a Romnyesque fashion, (referring to when Romney supported gay folks in Mass, running against Kennedy in 1994).

Thinking a little more on this, I think Scotty Brown only shows up on TV after floods and tornadoes and other disasters.

20. No his staff gave the "he's busy getting things done for the people" excuse

so he didn't have time to be in the video.

13. Nice. Lovely. wonderful.

I love Elizabeth Warren!

[nanabugg]

14. Right on!! nt

[ZombieHorde]

15. Awesome. Warren is awesome. nt

[LuckyLib]

16. Warren is smart, informed, and can run circles around the crazies that seem

to be floated by the Republican party. Let's see what she does in the Senate. It will be great to see someone with her economic savvy to put forth some changes in DC.

[Zorra]

17. I always really liked her and I find myself liking her more every day.
