Issa continues harassment of Elizabeth Warren


Elizabeth Warren, perhaps America‘s leading consumer advocate, has done a superb job standing up the Republican bullies in charge of the House Oversight Committee. And the GOP‘s harassment of Professor Warren has provoked strong rebukes from Democrats on the Oversight Committee as well as tens of thousands of progressives across the country.

But they don’t seem to be getting the message.

One week after a subcommittee chair, Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina, publicly accused Professor Warren of perjury in an exchange that quickly became a viral online video, Oversight Chairman Darryl Issa sent Warren what the Huffington Post‘s Hill Update called “an unusually obnoxious-sounding invitation” to appear before his full committee.

40,000 PFAW supporters have already spoken out and joined our petition telling Republicans to back off and stop their smear campaign against Elizabeth Warren. We’re still shy of our goal of 50,000, which we really want to hit in time to deliver the petitions to the Oversight Committee in advance of Professor Warren’s next appearance this month. That’s why I’m asking you to add your name right now — we need you to help us close the gap and hit 50K.
