Moving Hillary to the left

Dear Friends,

I am doing my best to keep an open mind about Hillary Clinton, and so far in her campaign she is clearly moving to the left.  She is beginning to sound like a cross between Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.  She has tweeted and spoken out about many issues already and the changes and priorities show a definite movement to the left.  Just a few examples -

She has firmly come out in support of marriage equality.  Here is a quote from a CNN article (here):

As recently as a year ago, Hillary Clinton was sparring with a public radio host about her position on same-sex marriage, defending her past reticence to discuss the issue and falling well short of full-throated support. Now, in a markedly new position, Clinton is offering just that, calling gay marriage a right afforded by the Constitution.

She has come out in favor of overturning Citizen's United.  It was one of the four things that she said we needed to focus on.  Here is a quote from her statement in Iowa:

We need to fix our dysfunctional political system, and get unaccountable money out of it once and for all, even if it takes a constitutional amendment

She has also spoken out not just about equal pay but for a living wage.  Here is her tweet on the issue:

 Every American deserves a fair shot at success. Fast food & child care workers shouldn't have to march in streets for living wages. -H

Here is a tweet by Hillary sounding like Elizabeth Warren:

 It's fair to say the deck is still stacked in favor of those already at the top. There's something wrong with that.

She is also talking about budgets reflecting our priorities, affordability of college, availability of healthcare and others that are essential parts of a true liberal agenda.  Our politicians' positions reflect the people that they are trying to win over.  We need to keep the pressure on Hillary to move to the left and become a candidate who we can actively and enthusiastically support.

Thanks for reading and please comment,
