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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

Liberty and Justice Dinner - Nov. 1, 2019
November 1, 2019
Hello Iowa! I’m here to talk about something that people all across Iowa and all across America know down deep in their bones: our democracy has been hijacked by the rich and the powerful. They make it work for themselves, and they leave everyone else behind. We see it every time a corporate executive threatens to cut pay and move jobs overseas. We see it every time an insurance company denies treatment and denies access to the doctors that people trust. We see it when a criminal justice system tears […]

Wow! Thank you, Iowa. It is so, so wonderful to be back here with so many friends. Thank you! Thank you to my good friends, Ruth and Tom Harkin and Tom and Christie Vilsack. It is great to see you. As you all know, I can see Iowa from my porch. And we are going to win big in this state in November. We are going to build a blue wall around Iowa and Ohio - all those states that Donald Trump won in 2016. Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and […]

Justice for All - Oct. 26, 2019
October 26, 2019
The issue we are gathered here to talk about is so important and impacts all of us. For so long, we have heard politicians paying lip service to the issue of criminal justice reform, it is a familiar talking point, but what is actually done about it. There’s no real action, no real serious changes being made. Instead, one generation after another continues to fall victim to a justice system that is fundamentally unjust. So we think to our pledge of allegiance that we’ve said over and over throughout our […]

Aloha! That's what I call Iowa nice. It's so good to be here with all of you. Thank you very much the Des Moines Register for hosting this and giving us the opportunity to be able to give a little bit of background about who I am and why I'm running for president. I'm really grateful throughout this whole campaign to have the opportunity to come to places like Iowa, to go to communities across the country and just be reminded in every stop that we have about how great […]

Aloha Iowa Democrats! How you guys doing? You know, in Hawaii when we get these little gentle showers we consider them blessings. Yeah I feel blessed, I feel grateful to be here to join all of you today at such an important time. Now I start our conversation here with ‘aloha’ because it's important. You know, we're facing increasingly divided times. Self-serving politicians in Washington who are pitting one group of us against the other, pitting one tribe against the other, tearing us apart. And now I start with ‘aloha’ […]
