TJ HELMSTETTER ON HILLARY ANNOUNCEMENT

Monday, April 13, 2015   6:00 AM - 8:00 AM

TJ Helmstetter, a progressive compaigner from Progressive Change Campaign Committee speaks on Hillary Cintons announcement for her campaign of the Democratic nomination meanwhile the Republican primary field is looking crowded.  Will the economic populism of Elizabeth Warren supporters find a champion willing to go for big bold economic ideas such as debt free college at public universities, expanding social security benefits.  This may sound good but is it falling on the publics cynical ears since Hillary Clinton has been conservative, militaristic, a friend of Monsanto, Walmart, free trade agreements from NAFTA up to the TPP.  TJ Helmstetter discusses the PCCC's campaign named "Ready for Boldness", which about encouraging all Democrats running for president to embrace big, bold progressive ideas.  It is a joint statement that has been endorsed by over 5000 Democrats.
