#ElizabethWarren's bill reminds me of Romney's advice to youths in 4/2012, "Borrow money, if you have to, from your parents. Start a business... [Jimmy John Liautaud] borrowed $20K from his dad..."

The loan was c. 7/82 and was actually $25K.
$25K in 7/82 = $59K in 4/12

Warren declined to be interviewed for this story. In May, at request of media, her campaign released a summary of her outside work. As a senatorial candidate, Warren released a shorter version, which omitted her work for Dow Chemical.

At the start of her presidential primary bid, the senator said she would not court rich donors for it. However, Warren added she *would* court them were she nominated.

Warren then transferred >$10M from her fund for (1/2)
re-election into her presidential campaign but continued to describe it as funded wholly by the grassroots.

Warren now states she would not court rich donors for the gen. election.
