Two more Senate Democrats climbed aboard the Elizabeth Warren bandwagon on Friday, signing on to a statement circulated by Sen. Al Franken encouraging President Obama to nominate the Harvard professor to lead the nascent Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, an entity she first proposed and helped shepherd through Congress.
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee and the P Street Project have been urging their membership to flood Congress with calls of support for Warren. Franken's statement gives advocates something to organize around. The group is also calling on citizens to sign a petition backing her.
