Republican Primary Senate Celebratory Speech - August 4, 2012
August 14, 2012
The issue that’s going to decide this election is who is best able to address the economic crisis that threatens our future and who best understands how to create jobs for the over 150,000 people who wake up every morning in our state without a job. Folks, there is so much at stake in this election, perhaps more than ever before. Washington is out of control. And it’s not too much to say that America’s future is on the line. And I truly believe that my life work and experience […]

Republican National Convention Address - July 21, 2016
July 21, 2016
One year ago, I introduced my father when he declared his candidacy. In his own way and through his own sheer force of will, he sacrificed greatly to enter the political arena as an outsider, and he prevailed against a field of 16 very talented competitors. [applause] For more than a year, Donald Trump has been the people's champion, and tonight he is the people's nominee. [applause] Like many of my fellow Millennials, I do not consider myself categorically Republican or Democrat. More than party affiliation, I vote based on […]

February 5, 2017
Marine Le Pen, member of the national assembly, ran for French President in 2017. This speech was her campaign launch, delivered in Lyon on February 5, 2017. Ladies and gentlemen, dear fellow many country men and women, both from metropolitan France as well as from overseas. If so many of you are here today it is because you have understood, especially in the light of recent events, that against the candidates, either left wing or right wing, but both guided by financial interests, I am the candidate of the people. […]

Senate campaign announcement video - Apr 24, 2016
April 24, 2016
This is an election year unlike any we've ever seen before. We the people are standing up against the politics of the status quo and against the corruption and cronyism of career politicians in Washington. Parents used to be able to tell their kids if you work hard and are honest and you're a good friend and neighbor, you will live the American Dream. But all around New York, I hear people saying, "I don't even recognize our country any more." They sit at their kitchen tables and wonder how […]

Keynote Address at 2008 Democratic National Convention - Aug. 25, 2008
August 25, 2008
As you might imagine, for Barack, running for president is nothing compared to that first game of basketball with my brother, Craig. I can’t tell you how much it means to have Craig and my mom here tonight. Like Craig, I can feel my dad looking down on us, just as I’ve felt his presence in every grace-filled moment of my life. At six-foot-six, I’ve often felt like Craig was looking down on me too, literally. But the truth is, both when we were kids and today, he wasn’t looking […]

Remarks at the 1988 Democratic National Convention - July 18, 1988
July 18, 1988
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Buenas noches, mis amigos! I am delighted to be here with you this evening because after listening to George Bush all these years, I figured you needed to know what a real Texas accent sounds like. Twelve years ago, (former Rep.) Barbara (C.) Jordan, another Texas woman, made the keynote address to this convention - and two women in 160 years is about par for the course. But, if you give us a chance, we can perform. After all, Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred […]

Ladies and gentlemen of the convention: My name is Geraldine Ferraro. I stand before you to proclaim tonight: America is the land where dreams can come true for all of us.
