Hillary Clinton may not face much of an electoral challenge for the Democratic nomination, but the progressive and populist left is hoping that she will at least have to contend with their ideas.

On Sunday, minutes after Clinton [announced her bid](http://time.com/3818727/hillary-clinton-announces-2016-run/) for the White House in 2016, Democracy For America, which has partnered with MoveOn.org to try to draft [Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren](https://runwarrenrun.org/) into the race, released a statement urging Clinton to articulate how, exactly, she plans to “stand up to the wealthy and powerful interests” that “dominate our political process.”

Meanwhile, Progressive Change Campaign Committee released a video that begins and ends with Hillary Clinton’s voice, lifted from her 2007 campaign launch: “Let’s start a dialogue about your ideas and mine,” she says.

The video ends with Clinton’s voice from that same launch: “So let the conversation begin,” she says. “I have a feeling it’s going to be very interesting.”

The video is part of the PCCC’s recent “[Ready For Boldness](Readyforboldness.com)” campaign, which calls on state and national leaders to demand that candidates embrace “big, bold, economic-populist ideas,” like affordable college, expanding social security benefits, and breaking up the big banks. The video quotes Sens. Harry Reid of Nevada, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Al Franken of Minnesota and Jeff Merkley of Oregon in support of the idea.


“We hope Hillary Clinton thinks big and takes on powerful interests on behalf of everyday working families,” said PCCC cofounder Adam Green in a statement. “Progressives will continue working to put big, bold, economic populist ideas at the center of the national conversation.”

DFA executive director Charles Chamberlain said that Clinton has earned the respect of progressives “because of her deep commitment to the rights of women and children,” but suggested in a statement that she would have to do more to earn their support in the long run. 

“We’re looking forward to hearing more about Secretary Hillary Clinton’s vision for the future of our country and, in particular, how she plans to address our nation’s income inequality crisis and stand up to the wealthy and powerful interests on Wall Street and elsewhere that dominate our political process,” he said.

“There’s no question a lot of progressives feel concerned about Secretary Clinton’s position on these and other issues,” said George Goehl, the executive director of National People’s Action Campaign, in a statement. “They want to know where she stands.”

## Transcript

You know, I'm not sittin' here some little woman standing here by my man like Tammy Wynette. I'm sittin' here because I love him, and I respect him. Now is our chance to beat the historical odds, and give the American people the health security they need. If there is one message that echoes forth from this. Let it be that human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights once and for all. The great story here for anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it is this vast right- wing conspiracy that has been conspiring. Against my husband since the day he announced for president.

I would be happy to, when you give me the signed letters. Well, right here. Right here. When you give me. Right here. Sign it right now. We'll shake. We'll shake on this, Ray. No, no, I want your signature, cause I think that everybody wants to see you signing something that you said you were for. You know, I have so many opportunities from this country. I just don't wanna see us fall backwards. Although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it. The battle to stop Al Qaeda and its affiliates. Does not end with one death.

What difference, at this point, does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator. I took the unprecedented step of asking that the state department make all my work- related emails, [ MUSIC ] Public for everyone to see. [ NOISE ]
