I am not sure if the USA can afford to let Elizabeth Warrne run for Vice President.

To begin with Senator Warren is rather wholesomely funded. She wears her values well. She doesn't slide into funding that compromises her decisions and ethics. Within her wholesome election funding she attracts big money. It is big money without the corruption of Wall Street as an overhead.

She also has some very novel and valuable bills she has sponsored:  

Tax Filing Simplification Act of 2016 
A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to establish a free online tax preparation and filing service and programs that allow taxpayers to access third-party provided tax return information.

FAA Community Accountability Act of 2016
 A bill to direct the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration to improve the process for establishing and revising flight paths and procedures, and for other purposes.

Genetic Research Privacy Protection Act 
A bill to amend the Public Health Service Act to protect the privacy of individuals who are research subjects, and for other purposes.

Behavioral Health Coverage Transparency Act of 2016
A bill to strengthen parity in mental health and substance use disorder benefits.

National Biomedical Research Act 
A bill to establish the "Biomedical Innovation Fund", and for other purposes.

Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin Act
A bill to require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint coins in recognition of the 60th anniversary of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Reducing Unused Medications Act of 2016
A bill to amend the Controlled Substances Act to permit certain partial fillings of prescriptions.

Puerto Rico Emergency Financial Stability Act 
A bill to provide for certain assistance and reforms relating to the territories, and for other purposes.

SAVE Benefit Act
Seniors And Veterans Emergency Benefits Act

Elizabeth Warren is so much more than the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. It is going to take awhile to sincerely get to know her. It is very unfair to toss her into the middle of a national Presidential election without realizing her scope and dedication to people and not financial institutions.

She has sponsored nine bills so far since taking office and many in only the first half of 2016. That is a prolific legislator. There is every indication she does this alone. She is quite the legislator. 

I remember some time ago her sitting completely alone in a committee oversight hearing with financial somebody or other and asking very frank questions with intention to reveal the truth about processes that allow corruption and act against the consumer. She was completely alone. Not even the chairperson was in the room. She is brave, focused and to all other legislators that can't find wholesome funding, radioactive.

Realizing her stance on issues, I think the USA has another Lioness of the Senate. She makes Massachusetts proud and I hope they send her back to her job that she loves so much term after term after term. 

Someday, Senator Warren will be running for President of the USA. I look forward to that day. Her shadow is HUGE.
