Using her own words, and the words of other Democrats, a progressive group called on Hillary Clinton to take bold, populist stances in her second campaign for president.

As Republicans came at Clinton from the right on Sunday ahead of her anticipated announcement of a White House run, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) needled her from the left with a new YouTube video detailing the agenda it wants Clinton to support.

It opens with Clinton's own voice from her 2007 announcement, in which she said, "I'm not just starting a campaign though, I'm beginning a conversation. So let's talk, let's chat, let's start a dialogue about your ideas and mine."

It uses voice overs to suggest policy platforms like expanding Social Security, debt-free public college and Wall Street reform.

"The battle over the direction of the Democratic Party is coming to an end the Elizabeth Warren wing has won, and the battle of big vs. small ideas is here. Americans are ready for boldness," Adam Green, PCCC's co-founder, said in a statement. "We hope Hillary Clinton thinks big and takes on powerful interests on behalf of everyday working families. Progressives will continueworking to put big, bold, economic populist ideas at the center of the national conversation."

PCCC signed up high-profile Democrats to its Ready for Boldness campaign, including Warren (D-Mass.) and Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.), both of whom have supported a Clinton run. The liberal group had a meeting with Clinton advisers to stress its desire to see a campaign built on populism, MSNBC reported last week.

Progressives have been hesitant to rally around a Clinton candidacy, with many holding out for Warren to run. Clinton has tried to strike the right tone in speeches over the past year to connect with those liberal grass-roots activists who abandoned her for Barack Obama in 2008.

The concentrated pressure on Clinton to adopt a domestic agenda that looks like one that Warren would tout was on display Sunday morning when New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, who was Clinton's campaign manager when she ran for the Senate in 2000, wouldn't give her a full-throated endorsement.

"I think, like a lot of people in this country, I want to see a vision," he said. "And, again, that would be true of candidates on all levels. Its time to see a clear, bold vision for progressive economic change."
