EXETER -- When Sen. Elizabeth Warren visited town, her message was one of unity in the name of making changes to the corruption she sees in politics, where she says government works only for the rich and not for the average American family.

“This is our chance to dream big, to fight hard and win,” Warren said. “You in New Hampshire are an important part of this. It’s an investment in democracy and in truth. If you believe in that, be a part of it. You don’t get what you don’t fight for. The abolitionists, the suffragettes, were told it’s too hard. Give up. Early union organizers, foot soldiers in the civil rights movement and early gay rights activists were told it’s too hard. They didn’t give up. They organized a movement and changed the course of this country. This is our chance to fight hard and to make changes. Our country is in a dangerous moment and the direction we take is going to set a course for generations to come.”

The lines waiting to see the Massachusetts Democratic senator and presidential hopeful stretched down the stairs of the old Town Hall and snaked around Water Street.

Warren spoke about her upbringing in Oklahoma. She talked about hard times and how her family overcame hardship, how she persevered until she reached her goals.
