The Presidential race for 2016 already has started…on the sly.
Why newly-elected U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is wasting her valuable time sending a non-constituent like me, in distant California, who happens to be on her financial contributors list, an email featuring the latest gossip about her trivial pursuits, such as cake-baking?
The reason is simple: Sen. Warren has started her campaign to snatch the Democratic Party's 2016 nomination for U.S. President from the grasp of good ole Ms. Clinton.
For confirmation: Ask Hillary who she suspects her stiffest competition during the Primary Season will be? It won't be Grandpa Joe Biden, for sure?
If you are a Hillary-hater inside the media, you may ignore this as a personal favor to the Brand New Senior Senator from Massachusetts, Ms. Elizabeth Warren.
If you are politically-correct, you are bound to steer clear of any honest criticism of her actions. After all, Sen. Elizabeth is a Native American, isn't she?
Read the love letter below which the Good Senator from New England expects me to believe was motivated by her keen dislike for heart ailments matched with her fondness for baked goods when actually it's a subliminal Warren for President message for all of her staunchest supporters to read and get motivated by!
(The above won't sound absurd after you have read the letter.)
This cyber-missive is cleverly disguised as a public service message aimed at women to increase their awareness of heart disease.
The Lizzie email in question which appears below in full was paid for by “Elizabeth for MA.” Inexplicably, it is copyrighted in 2012 with “all rights reserved.”
See for yourself right now at the bottom that their email addressed to me is included here.
John,
I'm going to have to put off baking my Valentine's Day cake until I can get back home on Friday. I have my heart-shaped pans, but the oven is broken in my new Washington apartment. Even so, I'm not letting the day pass without asking everyone for a favor.
My mother was born on Valentine's Day. From the time she turned fifteen, my father gave her a heart-shaped box of chocolates, and from the time I was nine and bought some heart-shaped pans at the dime store, I baked her a cake. Mother loved the heart connection to her birthday.
Several years ago, the heart connection took on a new meaning. My mother was in good health. She went to the doctor regularly, and, except for some concern about high cholesterol and a few complaints about gas pains and arthritis, she always got a good report. When she had some minor surgery, all the kids and grandkids came to visit. She was doing great, ready to check out of the hospital the next morning. So after a few more turns racing her up and down the hallway in wheelchairs, we all headed home.
In the middle of the night, one of my brothers called. He said Mama was dead. I couldn't believe it. I thought he had made some kind of terrible mistake. He said Daddy had been sitting with her when she leaned forward and said, “Don, there's that gas pain again.” Then she died.
The autopsy showed that she had advanced heart disease. No one had any inkling.
This year more women than men will die from heart disease. In fact, every minute, a woman dies from heart disease. And the symptoms for women aren't always the same as for men. As I learned when the doctor called to explain how she died, heart disease can easily be overlooked for women.
So enjoy Valentine's Day and all the hearts, but here's my ask: Today please ask a woman you love to learn more about heart disease. Learn the symptoms. Learn the risks. Learn prevention. Please don't wait.
Tomorrow I'll bake a cake. I'll open up the box that has some of the old valentines my daddy gave to my mother. And I'll ask the women I love to take better care of themselves.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Elizabeth
P.S. I'm wearing red for heart awareness to my first Senate Banking Committee hearing this morning. I'm excited to get to work leveling the playing field for working families. Thank you for being a part of this.
