Speculation abounds surrounding Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s future ambitions, but one group of fans has already launched a super PAC anticipating a potential 2016 presidential campaign.

“These are difficult years for our country. But we are Americans. We are tougher than the times that we live in, and we are bigger than our politics have been. So let’s meet the moment. Let’s get to work, and show the world once again why the United States of America remains the greatest nation on Earth. Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.”
