August 2, 2016
Lynne Cheney introduced her husband Dick Cheney, the vice-presidential candidate, to the 2000 Republican National Convention. It is such an amazing thing to stand here before you. It was only eight days ago that I embarked on this campaign with Dick, and the enormity of the honor you have bestowed upon him is still sinking in. It is such a proud moment for our family. My task tonight is to introduce Dick, and I could start with his resume—it is a pretty spiffy resume—White House chief of staff, Congressman, Defense […]

Remarks at the 1996 Democratic National Convention - Aug. 27, 1996
August 27, 1996

The kind of society you and I are working to build. A civil society is built by the smallest, simplest gestures. Things we do every day without thinking twice. Seventy-six years ago, Mrs. Burn from East Tennessee did such a thing. Women’s suffrage had come down to one vote – her son Harry, a 24-year-old Tennessee state representative, was […]

Thank you. It's great to be back in Raleigh! Thank you so much. I have to confess I was having such a good time backstage listening to the 120 Minutes Band, listening to Mary Wingate do the national anthem and just being absolutely transported by Shay Taylor and Friends, the gospel group that got us all going today. And I cannot thank a better twosome than the people you just saw up here. Because I honestly believe Jim Hunt is not only one of the best governors North Carolina has […]
