Clinton calling for new era of shared economic prosperity

Hillary Rodham Clinton is calling for a new era of shared prosperity and says workers can trust her to fight for them, themes outlined in a speech promoted as her formal presidential campaign debut.

At an outdoor rally Saturday on New York City's Roosevelt Island, Clinton planned to portray herself as a fierce advocate for those left behind after the recession.

She intended to describe a lifetime of work on behalf of struggling families and cite her mother's difficult childhood as the inspiration for what she considers a calling.

Her campaign said that "tenacious fighter" message will be the foundation of her 2016 White House race. By contrast, she has kept silent so far on several contentious issues, including two seen by Republicans as central to economic growth: a proposed trade deal with Pacific Rim nations and the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada to Texas.
