I'm writing to you because I want Elizabeth Warren to run for President, and I'm asking you to join me.Dear MoveOn member,I'm Lawrence Lessig, a Harvard professor and the founder of MAYDAY Super PAC—the "SuperPAC to end all SuperPACs"—which many MoveOn members helped launch. I'm writing to you because I want Elizabeth Warren to run for President, and I'm asking you to join me.
The biggest problems we face—a rigged economy, climate change, the engulfing corruption of our political system by big money—have something in common: If we don't tackle them soon, we won't get another chance.
It keeps me up at night.
But what wakes me up in the morning is another thought: We really do have a chance to win in 2016. If we can elect leaders with the courage and independence to tackle the hard stuff—and build the mega-movement necessary to make sure they actually do it—we could see the kind of progressive sea change that brought the Gilded Age to an end more than a century ago.
But honestly? The only way I see this working is if Senator Elizabeth Warren runs for president.
That's why—as my next big project—I've joined the Run Warren Run campaign. I'll be giving a major speech in New York on April 20 to lay out the case. But right now, today, I'm asking for your help to supercharge this effort—before conventional wisdom congeals and everyone decides that the 2016 primaries are already over.
Can you chip in $3 to help fund the Run Warren Run campaign?
Yes, I'll chip in and help convince Elizabeth Warren to run for president.
Look: From everything I know, running for president is really, really hard. Most sane people would hate doing it. So I completely understand why my friend and former colleague has, to date, not shown any interest in doing so.
It's just that the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that she should reconsider.
We're now facing the prospect of no vigorous Democratic primary, potentially a primary season without even a single debate, generating a nominee who has not had to enlist the support of a genuine grassroots base. That's dangerous—not just for Democrats, but for our democracy.
Elizabeth Warren would change all of that. Not just because she'd guarantee a primary where every candidate has to take a stand. But because she (and, I believe, she alone) would galvanize the kind of movement that we'll need if the next President of the United States is to have a prayer of tackling the hardest, most urgent crises of our time.
The Run Warren Run campaign is doing something extraordinary: By organizing on the ground in the early primary states, it's keeping open the possibility of a Warren candidacy, in a moment when the primary is supposedly sewn up—and in the process forcing issues like economic inequality and political corruption to the center of the debate. But it can only keep going with our support.
Can you chip in $3?
Yes, I'll chip in, and help the campaign to draft Elizabeth Warren keep going and growing.
I don't pretend to know whether Elizabeth Warren will ultimately decide to run. But I do know this: There's always been one thing, and one thing only, that could convince her to take on a challenge. Not money. Not power. Just one thing: the realization that her jumping into the fray was necessary to make a difference.
This is one of those moments. And the more of us that raise our hands and say we're ready to fight by her side, the more clear it will become to her that she has a once-in-a-lifetime chance to fight the central battles of our nation. Not alone. With a movement. That's our role: to show her how much energy is waiting to be unleashed if she enters the race.
Can you chip in $3 to help with this campaign?
Thanks for all you do.

"The house of horrors detailed in the Senate report – which even in its over 500 pages doubtless only scratches the surface of the depravity of U.S. "War on Terror" tactics – has been discussed at length. But what is outlined in the report is only part of the story."
Yeah, but never mind that, what about that local sports team? I hope more of those losers don't quit because they're afraid of a little head injury now and then. They owe us! We love them!

You know what, Jo? I think I like the idea of undermining the Obama Regime's attempts to limit Iran's nuclear program, and here's why. Iran has said they don't want nuclear weapons, and I believe them. Unlike the lying sacks that run this country, they have a record of being straight shooters. However, even if they did develop nuclear weapons, how can you blame them? Look at all countries that the US mafia government has overthrown - all people who agreed to give up weapons of mass destruction, or never got them. The US would dearly love to topple the North Korean government, but one wonders if North Korea's possession of nuclear weapons hasn't spared them 'liberation' If you guys were really a progressive organization (instead of being the scum sucking neoliberal opportunists that you are) you'd be aggitating for diplomatic efforts to limit the US and Israel's nuclear programs. One of these countries, after all, is the only nation to ever use nuclear weapons on human targets (civilian targets in a monstrous terrorist act, it must be said) and the other is a cruel apartheid state. Just my two cents worth, which is about two cents more valuable than anything that ever comes out of moveon.org. Too bad you guys never read your mail, because if you did, I'm just certain you'd want to sign my petition: http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/moveon-should-read-their
Republicans are being disrespectful, dangerous, and reckless. We have to hold them accountable.Dear MoveOn member,In an unprecedented move, 47 Republican senators have sent a warning letter directly to Iranian leaders, threatening to blow up any diplomatic deal negotiated by President Obama.1
This is disrespectful, dangerous, and reckless. We have to hold them accountable. And make sure not a single Democrat joins them in blowing up the president's diplomatic efforts and putting us on a path to war.
We're producing a TV ad immediately to call out this outrageous act. Please click here—right now—and make the most generous contribution you can to help us hold these 47 Republicans accountable, and make sure no Democrat joins them in undermining the president and risking a war.
"Traitors" is how the front page of today's New York Daily News described the 47 Republican senators who wrote to Iran's leaders yesterday in an effort to undermine President Obama and sabotage his diplomatic efforts to prevent yet another unnecessary war.2
And it isn't just the Daily News. Media outlets across the country are—for good reason—slamming Republican war hawks for this shocking and dangerous attempt to sabotage diplomacy and disrespect the president.
As Vox.com puts it, "The mere act of senators contacting the leaders of a foreign nation to undermine and contradict their own president is an enormous breach of protocol. But this went much further: Republicans are telling Iran, and, by extension the world, that the American president no longer has the power to conduct foreign policy, and that foreign leaders should assume Congress could revoke American pledges at any moment."3
Our small staff has already been mobilizing public support for diplomacy via petitions, member phone calls, op-eds, and more. This shocking move by Senate Republicans means we have to do even more. We're putting together a TV ad now to call out this disloyal behavior—but we need to know that we'll have the resources to go big.
Can you make an emergency contribution to ensure Republicans pay a steep political price? This is a moment to dig deep—because the more we raise, the bigger we can go.
As you probably remember, Republicans invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to come to Washington and undermine the president last week. But this letter is arguably even worse: they are degrading our president in front of the whole world. And sending a message that the President of the United States—whoever she or he is—has no credibility.
In the days following Netanyahu's speech, we've raised over $100,000 for our work on Iran. But we didn't plan on having to respond to this.
The radical right has gone too far too fast. Now, we've reached a make-it-or-break-it moment for the future of diplomacy and for peace in the Middle East.
So I hate to ask so strongly, but this is too important not to be direct: We need your emergency donation to get the president's back and keep America off a path to war.
Will you chip in as much as you can afford and help turbocharge our efforts?
Thanks for all you do.
