Elizabeth Warren and the Ancestry Issue: What Do You Think? [Poll]
Democratic contender for U.S. Senate seat reportedly acknowledges she told schools of her heritage, but after she was hired.
After weeks of controversy, Elizabeth Warren tells the Boston Globe that yes, she told Harvard and University of Pennsylvania about her Native American ancestry, but says it came up after she was already hired.
What do you think about her actions, how she handled the controversy — and most of all, if or how much that should figure into your vote this fall for either Warren (or her Democratic colleague in the race, Marisa DeFranco) or Republican Sen. Scott Brown R-Wrentham?

I would like to know if she used her supposed heritage to gain entry into schools as well as getting ahead with a claim on being an Indian minority. There is a little know law that if you have Indian heritage you can go to school for free. I was aware of this law because our family always said we were related to an Indian tribe on my Mother's side. We never really explored the documents that would have been required.
As for the current situation the fact that she lied and used it to her advantage means she can not be trusted as a member on the Senate.
