Good evening from Dubuque, where @ewarren is holding her second town hall today.

First question is what she will do to tackle the national debt.

“It’s the basic idea that trickle down economics is a monumental failure and it’s time to call it out for what it is.”

@ewarren Q from an audience member for @ewarren: "My question for you is, why should I give up things that I hold dear that I teach my children about — that I share common beliefs with my fellow Christians things — like ending abortion, traditional marriage, and religious freedoms."

@ewarren .@ewarren responds that she's Methodist and used to be a Sunday school teacher.

"I'm old school on this, but I don't think you have to be a religious person to have good values," she also says.

@ewarren .@ewarren turns the conversation toward abortion:

"In the position of trying to decide what (a woman) is going to do about a pregnancy, that she may not have planned for may not have hoped for, may have been forced upon her.." (1/?)

@ewarren .@ewarren: ".. is a woman who should be able to call on anyone for help ... But the one entity that should not be in the center of that very hard decision is the federal government." (2/2)

The audience stood up and cheered.
