...I haven't spent the past 35 years in the trenches advocating for children, campaigning for universal health care, helping parents balance work and family, and fighting for women's rights at home and around the world . . . to see another Republican in the White House squander the promise of our country and the hopes of our people....
...Tonight we need to remember what a Presidential election is really about. When the polls have closed, and the ads are finally off the air, it comes down to you -- the American people, your lives, and your children's futures....."....I want you to ask yourselves: Were you in this campaign just for me? Or were you in it for that young Marine and others like him? Were you in it for that mom struggling with cancer while raising her kids? Were you in it for that boy and his mom surviving on the minimum wage? Were you in it for all the people in this country who feel invisible?"
....But remember, before we can keep going, we have to get going by electing Barack Obama president.
We don't have a moment to lose or a vote to spare.
Nothing less than the fate of our nation and the future of our children hang in the balance....
Sen. Hillary Clinton was awesome. After the speech, I switched around the channels to MSNBC and CNN. All the pundits on these two cable news stations offered nothing but praise for Clinton's speech. They were clearly blown away.
Then I ventured into the enemy territory of Fox News. Their political pundits looked like they had sh** their pants. Their voices all but said, "We're f*****." Yes they are.
Thank you, Sen. Clinton for your service and your words of encouragement! Now we need to get to work to get Barack Obama to the White House. Visit BarackObama.com and see what you can do to help Sen. Obama become President Obama.
* Remember, with a Democrat in the White House, we've got to get more Democrats in the House of Representatives and the Senate. Here in Ohio's 15th district, we've got a fantastic Democratic candidate,Mary Jo Kilroy, running for Congress. Sign up with Kilroy's campaign today.
Why are you waiting? It is time to roll up our sleeves and get to work!
