Remarks at the 2012 Democratic National Convention - Sept. 5, 2012
September 5, 2012
Good evening. On behalf of the millions of mothers, daughters, wives, sisters and friends - Republicans and Democrats - who have counted on Planned Parenthood for health care, and in honor of the thousands of doctors and staff at Planned Parenthood health centers all across America, I am proud tonight to support the re-election of President Barack Obama! Two years ago, when Paul Ryan and John Boehner and Todd Akin and the Tea Party took over the House of Representatives, they promised us they were going to create jobs and […]

Campaign Suspension - March 19, 2020
March 19, 2020
Our nation is facing an unprecedented global crisis that highlights the inextricable bonds of humanity and how foreign policy and domestic policy are inseparable. We are all in this together and we must all rise to meet this moment in service to our country and our fellow man. This is not the first time that we have faced adversity together and it will not be the last. After the terrorist attack by al Qaeda on our country on 9/11 we stood together as Americans. Motivated to serve, marshaling our forces […]

Campaign Suspension - March 5, 2020
March 5, 2020
WARREN: So I announced this morning that I am suspending my campaign for President. I say this with a deep sense of gratitude for every single person who got in this fight — every single person who tried on a new idea — every single person who just moved a little in their notion of what a President of the United States should look like. I will not be running for President in 2020, but I guarantee I will stay in the fight for the hardworking folks across this country […]

Endorsement of Joe Biden - March 2, 2020
March 2, 2020
KLOBUCHAR: Alright. Wow, thank you! Unbelievable! Well, how great is it to be here in Dallas, Texas? And how great it is to be here with my family, John and Abigail, and with Vice President Biden. How wonderful it is to be standing next to him on a stage when it isn’t the debate stage. So I actually, as you all know, announced my campaign for President in the middle of a Minnesota blizzard, just so I could impress everyone in Texas. And in particular, everyone in Dallas. So we […]

Marianne Williamson's Endorsement of Senator Bernie Sanders for President - Feb. 23, 2020
February 23, 2020
Thank you. Thank you, I love you too… thank you. Thank you. I was born and raised in the great state of Texas. As was my mother, and I am someone — there are millions of us — who have always looked to Jim Hightower as a model for how to do it right. When I was a little girl growing up in Houston, I used to put my hand in front of my heart — like millions of others — and I took a pledge, a pledge of allegiance. […]

Campaign Speech made at Newport, Rhode Island - 12 October 1920
October 12, 1920
[hw] = handwritten Campaign Speech made at Newport, R.I. October 12, 1920. It is extremely difficult for me to make a campaign speech to an audience composed of colored people. As a rule when I speak, I try to do one of two things; either, to enlighten people about the things they do not know, or, to convert them from what I think is a wrong point of view to a right. I can do neither one of these things to an audience like this for you all know as […]

Iowa Democratic Steak Fry - Sept. 21, 2019
September 21, 2019
I’ve been listening to a lot of great candidates here today. I don’t think of myself as running against anyone. I think of myself as running with a lot of really great people. And I’ve heard a lot of plans articulated and I agree with the majority of them. I’m on the left wing of the Democratic Party, there’s no question whether we have, the Democrats, the best plans. But, none of those plans are going to be brought to fruition until and unless we have another plan. That’s what […]

Iowa State Fair Political Soapbox - Aug. 9, 2019
August 9, 2019
This is an extraordinary experience. And I’m very aware, particularly as a woman, that we can’t do this everywhere. I’m very aware particularly as a woman that if I said a fraction of the things that I sometimes say in critique of our government and our governmental policy, that there are countries were I might be taken off to prison, even tortured. So I’m not only very aware of the profound right that we have to say what we think, but at this point in our history I think we […]

Presidential Campaign Announcement - Jan. 29, 2019
January 28, 2019
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm so eager to speak with you tonight and so grateful that you came. I want to start out by telling you a little something about my childhood. My parents were married over 50 years. They loved each other. They were a good marriage. But I think, and looking back today, we might have thought of them as a bit of an odd couple. My mother came not from a wealthy family, but from a well-to-do […]

Liberty and Justice Dinner - Nov. 1, 2019
November 1, 2019
Good evening, Iowa! So we all know why we’re here. We’re here because this is a moment. This is a moment where we have to be prepared to fight for the best of our country. This is a moment where we need to fight for this country we love, for the rule of law, for our system of justice, and for our very democracy. So we are all here to fight. We’re all here to fight to end that national nightmare called Donald Trump. And to win, Democrats. To win. […]
