Kentucky Primary Victory Speech - May 20, 2008
May 20, 2008
Thank you all very, very much. I am so grateful for this victory, and I am so appreciative because tonight I'm thinking about why we're all here, and it's not just to win a primary or even just to win an election. What propels us is the struggle to realize America's promise, a nation where every child can achieve his or her God-given potential, where every man and woman has a fair chance, where we fulfill- where we fulfill the ideals our founders pledged their lives to defend, and our […]

My Announcement - Sept. 13, 2011
September 13, 2011
I'm going to do this. I'm going to run for the United States Senate. And the reason is straightforward: middle class families have been chipped at, hacked at, squeezed and hammered for a generation now, and I don't think Washington gets it. Washington is rigged for big corporations that hire armies of lobbyists. A big company, like GE, pays nothing in taxes, and we're asking college students to take on even more debt to get an education? We're telling seniors they may need to learn to live on less? It […]

Please give it up for this museum. Thank you. And please – a big shout-out for the great representative from this district, Eric Pettigrew. Thank you, Eric. Ladies and gentlemen, we're winning in all four corners of the great state of Washington. We have worked hard over the last three-and-a-half years to create one Washington. Today, we have […]

Declaring presidential bid - Jan. 25, 1972
January 25, 1972
I stand before you today, as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency of the United States of America. I am not the candidate of Black America, although I am Black and proud. I am not the candidate of the women's movement of this country, although I am a woman, and I'm equally proud of that. I am not the candidate of any political bosses or fat cats or special interests. I stand here now, without endorsements from many big-name politicians or celebrities or any other kind of […]

New Hampshire Primary Victory Speech - Jan. 8, 2008
January 8, 2008
Thank you. Thank you, thank you. Thank you so much. I come tonight with a very, very full heart and I want especially to thank New Hampshire. Over the last week I listened to you, and in the process I found my own voice. I felt like we all spoke from our hearts, and I'm so gratified that you responded. Now together, let's give America the kind of comeback that New Hampshire has just given me. Now, for all the ups and downs of this campaign, you helped remind everyone […]

I am encouraged and inspired by you, and confident in the knowledge that our democracy is safe so long as young people know that it is not a spectator sport. I would like to thank […]

Announcement of Candidacy for Republican Presidential Nomination - June 27, 2011
June 27, 2011
Good morning, it is so great to be here in Iowa this morning and even better to be here in Waterloo where I was born. I think it is entirely fitting that we are here today at the Snowden house, the site that was once the Waterloo Women's Club, so thank you for being here. My name is Michele Bachmann. I stand here in the midst of many friends and many family members to announce formally my candidacy for president of the United States. I do so because I am […]

Palin's speech begins at 10:48 in the video. Thank you so much. And I thank you, Sen. McCain and Mrs. McCain, for the confidence that you have placed in me. Senator, I am honored to be chosen as your running mate. I will be honored to serve next to the next president of the United States. I know that when Sen. McCain gave me this opportunity, he had a short list of highly qualified men and women, and to have made that list at all — it was a privilege. […]

Sedi Gubernatorial Forum - July 15, 2014
July 15, 2014
CHRISTENSEN: Thank you, Kim. Thank you, everyone. Thank you for coming out. I want to thank the CRRA, Our Town Frederiksted, and, of course, the Democratic Party for hosting it and for hosting this in Frederiksted. I think it's very appropriate that it is held here in Frederiksted because Frederiksted is really the poster child for all of the challenges that are confronting this territory. But you know what, it's also the poster child for the opportunities that are waiting for us to seize. The people of the Virgin Islands, […]
