[3:44]" Barack Obama. Is my candidate. And he must be. Our president."
[3:56]" Tonight. I ask you to remember. What a presidential. Election. Is really about. When the polls have closed. And the ads are finally. Off the -- It comes down to you. The American people. And your lives. And your children's futures. For me it's been a privilege. To meet you in your homes your workplaces that your communities. You're stories reminded me that.

The young man an -- marine park T shirt. Who waited months. For medical care. And he said to me take care of my body's. A lot of them are still over there. And then. You please take care of me. And I will always remember the young boy. Told me his mom worked for the minimum wage. That are employers had cut her hours. He said he just didn't know what his family was going to do. I will always be grateful. To every one from all fifty states Puerto Rico and the territory. Still lying to our campaign. On behalf of all those people.

Would have banned here with us tonight. One of our finest young leaders. Arkansas democratic chair bill -- Who believed -- all his heart."
[7:36]" That America and that's. Should be democratic. From top to bottom. And congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones."
[7:48]" They can track. And many of us. A loving mother a courageous leader. Never gave up her quest to make America error and smarter stronger and better. Steadfast in her beliefs. A fighter -- uncommon grace. She was an inspiration to me and to us all. Our heart goes out to Stephanie son Ervin Jr. And bill's wife Rebecca. Who traveled here to Denver to join this family of Democrats."
[8:35]" And Stephanie Tubbs Jones. News that after eight years. Of George Bush. People are hurting at home and I standing has eroded around the world. We have a lot of work ahead Abbas. Jobs lost houses gone falling wages rising prices. The supreme Florida right wing headlock. And our government in partisan gridlock. The biggest deficit in our nation's history. Money borrowed from the Chinese to buy oil from the saudis. Lieutenant George Iran and Iraq. I'm ran for president to renews the promise of America. To rebuild the middle class and sustain the American dream to provide opportunity. Do the housing we're willing to work hard for it and have that were rewarded. So they could save for college home and retirement. -- for gas and groceries. And have a little left over each month. To promote a clean energy economy that will create millions have green collar jobs. To create a health care system that is universal. High quality and affordable so that every single parent. Knows their children."
[9:57]" I."
[10:01]" We want that creates. A world class education system. And make college affordable again to fight. For an America that. Is defined by deep and meaningful equality from civil rights to labor rights from women's rights to gay rights."

[11:12]" All right I'm Mara sat down. That will join with our allies that confronting our shared challenges from poverty and genocide. To terrorism. And global warming.

And bellows are other reasons I support Barack Obama. "
[11:48]" I."

Were you in net for that young boy and his mom survived being on the minimum wage. -- you Internet for all the people in this country who feel invisible. Need leaders once again. Who -- happy ended at special land of American confidence and optimism. That has enabled generations before us to meet our toughest challenges. Leaders who can help us show our selves and the world that with our ingenuity creativity and innovative Spirit. There are no limits to what is possible in America."
[13:05]" And."
[13:09]" This. Will not be easy. Progress never -- But it will be impossible. If we don't fight to put a Democrat back into the White House. Barack Obama. Because we need a president who understands that America can't compete in the global economy. By patting the pockets of energy speculators while ignoring the workers whose jobs have been shipped overseas. We need a president who understands we can't solve the problems. Global warming. By giving windfall profits to the oil companies while ignoring opportunities to invest in the new technologies. That will build a green economy. We need a president who understands that the genius of America has always depended. I'm the strength and vitality of the middle class. Barack Obama began his career. Fighting for workers displaced by the local economy he built his campaign on a fundamental belief. That changed in this country. Must start from the ground up not a top down."
[14:23]" And no. Government must be proud. We got people. Not mean that favored view. And when Barack Obama is in the White House he'll revitalize our economy. Defend the working people of America and meet the global challenges of our time. Democrats know how to do this as I'm Rick hall. We did it be far with President Clinton and that damage. -- We don't do that and went. -- Bob."
[15:05]" I."
[15:13]" I think that what America will be me. As we transform our. Energy economy create those millions of jobs build a strong base for economic growth and shared prosperity. It middle class families the tax relief they deserve. And I cannot wait. To watch. Barack Obama signed into law they health care plan that --"
[15:48]" Okay and we knew."

[16:14]" Anybody. Michelle speech last night knows she will. -- break First Lady for America. And Americans are fortunate. That Joe Biden will be at Barack Obama inside. Smile later."
[16:33]" The man. I understand. Economic -- here at home and the strategic challenges abroad he's pragmatic. He's tough Andy's wise. And cars will be supported by his wonderful wife Jill. Hey Bob hey great name for our country. Now. John McCain. It's my colleague and my friends. He has served our country with honor and courage. But we don't need four more years of the last eight years."
[17:17]" More."
[17:17]" All right economic stagnation. And less affordable health care more high gas prices and less alternative energy. Laurie jocks getting shipped overseas and fewer jobs created here at home. There are skyrocketing. Dead and home foreclosures. And mounting bills that are crushing middle class families. More smaller and less diplomacy. Laura about government where that privileged few come first and everyone else comes last. The well John McCain says the economy is fundamentally sound. John McCain doesn't think. 47. Million people without health insurance is -- prices. John McCain wants to privatize social security and it 2008. He still thinks it's okay when women don't -- equal pay for equal --"

[19:28]" First convention. I'm women's rights at our history. And so dawn a struggle for the right to vote.

These women and men looked in to their daughter's eyes and imagine -- and freer world. And found the strength to fight to rallied to picket to a door ridicule and harassment and rape violence and jail. And after so many decades 88 years ago on this very day but nineteenth amendment. Giving women and our right to vote became enshrined."
[20:11]" My mother. Okay. My daughter. Got to vote for my mother for president. This is the story of America."
[20:24]" Other women and men who defied odds and never give up so how to begin this country back to them. By following the example of a brave New Yorker a woman who risk their lives to bring slaves to freedom along the underground railroad. I'm that path to freedom Harriet tubman had one piece of advice.
