2020 Democratic National Convention Speech - Aug. 17, 2020
August 17, 2020
Good evening, everyone. It’s a hard time, and everyone’s feeling it in different ways. And I know a lot of folks are reluctant to tune into a political convention right now or to politics in general. Believe me, I get that. But I am here tonight because I love this country with all my heart, and it pains me to see so many people hurting. I’ve met so many of you. I’ve heard your stories. And through you, I have seen this country’s promise. And thanks to so many who […]

2020 Democratic National Convention Speech - Aug. 17, 2020
August 17, 2020
Hello, I'm senator Catherine Cortez Masto from Nevada. This year, more Americans than ever before are going to vote from rooms just like this. Marking their ballots at the kitchen table and exercising one of our most fundamental rights from home. But despite what the president says, voting by mail has been a secure, proven option for decades. In 2016, 33 million Americans voted by mail. Even Donald Trump has requested an absentee ballot twice this year. This fall some Americans will choose to vote in a voting booth with […]

Remarks at the 2020 Democratic National Convention - Aug. 17, 2020
August 17, 2020
Hello America. Like my friend Catherine, I believe that the right to vote is fundamental and the post office is essential. You know, the president may hate the post office but he's still going to have to send them a change of address card come January. Donald Trump just happens to be in my state today trying to divide people instead of responding to the pandemic and the significant needs of our economy, but democrats, independents and yes, many republicans have had enough of his divisiveness. Tonight, my friends, in […]

Honored to be the Republican Nominee - June 2, 2020
June 2, 2020
I'm Ashley Henson. I'm honored to be the Republican nominee for Congress in Iowa's first district. These are turbulent and unprecedented times and we've all been impacted by the pandemic, but for many here in Iowa the coronavirus has been a disaster. Loved ones taken too soon, small businesses shattered and jobs lost. So, I want to thank all essential workers who have continued to put their safety at risk to protect us. My number one priority is to get Iowans back to work as quickly and safely as possible. […]

Endorsement of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton - Jan. 10, 2016
January 10, 2016
Thank you so much, Crystal and Hana, two of our incredible young leaders. Thank you Natasha for sharing your story and being just an amazing leader. And can we give it up for Kelly Robinson, the most awesome organizer! I was back there with Secretary Clinton. She goes, "Kelly, I like… Yeah…." I'm like, "No. Do not touch." She's going to organize this entire country for us. And I also want to thank the doctor, the good Dr. Burgett, who's really one of the heroes of this movement. I thank […]

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 […]

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. […]
