Ready for Warren becomes Ready to Fight, supports Bernie Sanders. Two articles about it.

DU poster wilsonbooks posted about the endorsement today in General Discussion.

I found two articles about the group. This is a significant endorsement.

Ready for Warren endorses Sanders

“While Warren is the champion who inspired this movement, the draft effort was never just about her — it's about her message and the values she represents,” Erica Sagrans and Charles Lenchner write in an opinion piece on CNN released Friday morning.

“Bernie Sanders has caught fire in a way that's reminiscent of the draft Warren movement itself — from the Internet to town halls in Iowa, Sanders has captured the imagination and support of people looking for a real progressive challenger in the 2016 Democratic primary.”

Sagrans is the campaign manager for the group, which has now rebranded itself as Ready to Fight. Lenchner is the group’s co-founder.

Sanders has emerged as Clinton’s leading opponent from the left. While he still trails Clinton by significant margins in most national and statewide polls, he’s racking up strong poll numbers in New Hampshire and is drawing large crowds in Iowa.

.....The Ready for Warren rebrand comes weeks after another group, Run Warren Run, suspended operations after it delivered a petition of 365,000 signatures urging Warren to run.

Ready for Warren to become Ready to Fight

Ready for Warren, the political group that sought to draft Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) into the presidential race, is taking on a new name and mission.

The group will dub itself Ready To Fight on Friday and push a liberal economic agenda in the 2016 cycle.

According to a source close to the organization, Ready To Fight will advocate for many of the same initiatives as Ready for Warren, which formally ended its effort to draft Warren earlier this month.

....Ready For Warren's transition comes as Run Warren Run, another draft Warren effort that was backed by Democracy For America and MoveOn.org, disbanded their effort earlier this month.

I am thinking that Democracy for America will likely not come out for Sanders since Howard Dean has been openly supporting Hillary Clinton.

Anyone heard what is in Move On's mind? I believe they got their name when they formed during the impeachment of Bill Clinton...was it censure and then move on?

I post a lot about Bernie Sanders at Twitter
