And I think you're a liar so there we are...When I was a little girl, I learned about my family's heritage the same way everyone else does -- from my parents and grandparents.Definitely. I voted for her in the primaries in 2008 but Barack took the nomination so I voted for him twice. We like our candidates smart and competent. Repubs don't ever have anyone like that.We elected somebody great the last two terms. Shes ready, she even has a VP in mind.
Oh please tell me you are joking.
I'll move and start working out of Florida if I have to. You have to be kidding me.
She is a LIAR. She deprived a First Nation person out of a spot. YOU BACK HER?
She wasn't in the primaries.
You back a fucking lying white woman who took a First Nation's persons place at a university?
My mother, grandmother, and aunts were open about my family's Native American heritage, and I never had any reason to doubt them. What kid asks their grandparents for legal documentation to go along with their family stories? What kid asks their mother for proof in how she describes herself?
My heritage is a part of who I am -- and I am proud of it.
But that's not good enough for Scott Brown and the Republican Party. For several weeks now, they have orchestrated an attack against my family, my job qualifications, and my character. Earlier today, Scott Brown even questioned the honesty of my parents -- even though they are not fair game and are not here to defend themselves.
Scott Brown wants me to give up my family and forget where I came from. I'm not doing that -- not for politics and not for anything else. I'll hold on to every memory I can. My family is part of who I am, and they will be part of who I am until I die.
Despite evidence to the contrary, Scott Brown also claims I got special breaks because of my background. That's not true, and I need your help to fight back:
The people involved in recruiting and hiring me for my teaching jobs, including Harvard professor Charles Fried -- the solicitor-general under Ronald Reagan and a Scott Brown voter in 2010 -- have said unequivocally they were not aware of my heritage and that it played no role in my hiring.
I did not benefit from my heritage when applying to college or law school, and documents reporters have examined prove it.
I let people know about my Native American heritage in a national directory of law school personnel. At some point after they hired me, I also provided that information to the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard.

Someone certainly seems to be lying here and I believe it is you once again, TD.
Good grief. She's not First Nations. Never. Ever girl.
Sarah I have worked with First Nations for as long as I can remember fighting for the days of Grassy Narrows.
To be "of the people" is to be an honor. Warren is a liar. Warren is not First Nations.
