Elizabeth Warren's announcement video: 'I'm gonna do this'

This morning, Elizabeth Warren sent out a video (above) announcing why she is running for Senate. Here is a transcript:

I'm gonna do this. I'm going to run for the United State Senate, and the reason is straightforward.

Middle class families have been chipped at, hacked at, squeezed and hammered for a generation now, and I don't think Washington gets it.

Washington is rigged for big corporations that hire armies of lobbyists. A big company like GE pays nothing in taxes and we're asking college students to take on even more debt to get an education? We're telling seniors they may have to learn to live on less? It isn't right, and it's the reason I'm running for the United State Senate.

You know, I grew up on the ragged edge of the middle class, and I know it's hard out there. I fought all my life for working families, and I've stood up to some pretty powerful interests. Those interests are going to line up against this campaign, and that's why I need you.
