2009 Jefferson Jackson Dinner - Nov. 24, 2009
November 24, 2009
Wonderful to see you again. It makes me think of a great big family reunion. We get to catch up on what we’re doing, we brag a little bit about our kids, we brag a lot a bit about our grandchildren, and we laugh a little, and hopefully we’re going to get fired up for this election in 2010. Now, a lot has happened, and you heard that from the congressman. A lot has happened since we were here a year ago. If you remember, when we were here a […]

Remarks at the New York Women's Agenda "Star Breakfast"- Nov. 28, 1995
November 28, 1995
Thank you very much. Elly, thank you for bringing us all together again this morning. You are, as all of us who know and admire you, not only remarkable, but inspirational and something of a God to the rest of us. So that when we believe we cannot go another day or take on another project, think of you and feel somewhat ashamed that we are not as willing as you have been for so many years. I also want to congratulate all of the award recipients and all of […]

Remarks at the 2004 Democratic National Convention - July 26, 2004
July 26, 2004
Thank you, thank you. In the past 2 years, nearly 82 million Americans lacked health care coverage. Last year, health care premiums rose 4 times faster than the wages of our workers. Skyrocketing health care costs, not only hurt our families, they weaken our economy. They force American businesses to pay higher premiums, and cut the benefits of our workers. They force our seniors to decide between food and medicine. Democrats believe that all Americans deserve quality health care. It is a right and not a privilege. We can and […]

Ohio University Commencement Address - June 14, 1997
June 14, 1997
President Glidden, Chairman Emrick, Trustees, Administrators, Faculty, Alumni, Guests, Friends and, most of all, the Class of 1997: I felt a sense of involvement with you, when Josh in his very affecting personal remarks, said that it had taken some of you five years, and so in a way, my first visit here in 1992 is fittingly brought to a close with this class, by my being able to join you at graduation. It is a great privilege and honor to be once again on this campus because what you […]

It is a real pleasure for me to be here on a glorious Saturday afternoon that does remind us of football Saturdays, in which the celebration is not in terms of downs or yardage, but in terms of accomplishments and achievements of each of you. […]

Remarks at the 2000 Democratic National Convention - Aug. 15, 2000
August 15, 2000
Farmers nationwide are engaged in a fight for economic justice. A new farm policy must be enacted if the American farmer is to survive. Today's unprofitable agricultural economic state can be traced back to the trickle-down economics of the Reagan-Bush years and further fueled with a farm policy that has proven to be a disaster. The so-called "Freedom to Farm Act" resulted in prices remaining so low for so long that billions of dollars in emergency aid have been needed for the past two years to keep America's farmers in […]
