Marianne Williamson on NHPR's The Exchange - April 17, 2019
April 17, 2019
KNOY: Our guest today is Marianne Williamson. She's a bestselling author and lecturer and now a Democratic presidential candidate. Williamson's campaign is based on the same themes that have brought her acclaim and financial success. For the past 30 years, she calls for a "moral and spiritual awakening" in this country and for a politics based on love, not fear. That ethic guides her positions on the issues.

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 […]

Significance and History of the Ballot - Feb. 15, 1898
February 15, 1898
Cady Stanton gave this address in a hearing before the Committee on Woman Suffrage in the U.S. Senate. Since our demand for the right of suffrage under the Fourteenth amendment, which was denied by Congress and the courts, the only discussions in Congress have been our appeals for a sixteenth amendment until the recent bills on immigration, by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, and Senator Kyle of South Dakota, indirectly involving this question, and affecting the interests of woman. Their proposition to demand a reading and writing qualification on landing, strikes […]

The Three I's - 1924
January 1, 1924
This speech was delivered more than once. However, the copy we have is from 1924. THE THREE I’S Carrie Chapman Catt It is particularly important at this time that women should keep their heads and their clearest common sense on the watch tower. It is important for two reasons: first, these usually dependable guardians of national and international welfare, seem to be everywhere off duty and second, this is our day and it behooves us to give a good account of our trust. It is in this particular instant, in […]

Kansas State Referendum Campaign Speech - Sept. 14, 1867
September 14, 1867
How shall I find fitting words to express all I would say as I stand for the first time before an audience in Kansas? As the pious Catholic on entering his Cathedral kneels and with holy water makes the sign of the cross upon his brow before lifting his eyes to the Holy of Holies, so would I reverently tread this soil as the vestabule [sic] to our Temple of Liberty, the opening vista to the future grandeur of the new republic. Here the youngest civilization in the world is […]

The Outlook Today – Oct. 19, 1938
October 19, 1938
Address at the 14th anniversary dinner of the National Committee on the Cause & Cure of War. Within the last few months, a new idea has crept into the world talk about war. In the beginning, it approached so softly and silently that few of us noticed it at all. Then it suddenly pounced upon us with a rush and a roar like a whirlwind and left us startled and breathless. The new idea is the prediction that a terrific clash is coming between the dictatorships and the democracies. It […]

An Address to the Legislatures of the United States - Feb. 1919
