Elizabeth Warren supporters streamed into an auditorium at Roxbury Community College on Saturday afternoon for a ceremony re-creating her swearing-in as a senator in Washington last week.
Many in attendance said they were initially drawn to Warren by her frank speeches that assailed large banks and other powerful interests; Massachusetts’s newest senator didn’t disappoint them Saturday.

More sizzle no substance. I hope her campaign is paying for this and not the taxpayers. How much did it cost for here and the entourage to fly home for the weekend for this?
How much did it cost Scottie to fly home weekly as he claims he did?
Question: Who paid for it? Answer: the TAXPAYERS.
It cost the taxpayers to have a representative voice in Congress no matter which party.
Scamming Affirmative Action is her Chappaquidick.
I didn't vote for her, and if he re-election is challenged in six years I will give consideration to her challenger if I still live in MA, but scamming affirmative action? Show your evidence.
JLErwin - It's really not even argued if this is true. She was white, until she wanted to get into the Ivy's then she listed herself as minority in the registry book used by colleges. Went back to listing herself as white once she got tenure. Says she listed herself to 'find others like her', but the listing only said 'minority', didn't specify Native American and anyway she has NEVER attempted to join Native Americans in anything. She ran from them at both state and National dem conventions. She said she didn't know how Harvard listed her as a minority, until she got caught and THEN admitted, yes, she told them. Of course she won't ask Harvard to show anyone her hiring forms. There is NO proof she is Native American .... the Globe ran a story about how a geneologist said she was 1/32nd ... both the geneologist and the Globe retracted when it was found to be false. Of course Elizabeth says she has proof ... but it's "Not for you" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e48tFjd7frw ( at 1:50 ). Even if you think she might be some tiny bit Native American (not proven), she doesn't associate with and identify as Native American ( requirement by Harvard ) and she certainly has never been discriminated against as a Native American ... does it make sense that she benefited from Affirmative Action and that Harvard use HER to satisfy demands that the faculty be more diversified? SCAM that is ignored & covered up because of politics.

Goals? Prof. Warren's campaign speech was one of contradictions.
Prof. Warren vowed to go to Washington as the 'Superhero' to fight her own shadow.
Or a caricature of herself (rich, elite, shunned the home crowd while pursing face-time on CNN).
Tell me again: How did Ms. Warren get elected besides having a ton of financial support from outside the state, along with Democrats & the Globe doing a Senator Brown character assassination.
She'll never forget her humble beginnings in that little teepee down by the river.
SO PROUD of her Native American Heritage! But ... she won't actually list herself as a Native American Senator ... because she could not stand up to the scrutiny. http://legalinsurrection.com/2013/01/finally-elizabeth-warren-refuses-to-check-the-native-american-box/
