20150828 DNC Summit Meeting Minneapolis Minnesota
VIDEO
http://www.c-span.org/video/?327791-4/hillary-clinton-democratic-national-committee-summer-meeting
*HILLARY CLINTON:* Whoa! Thank you. Thank you, thank you. (Applause.)
Thank you all so much. Thank you very much and thank you all so much, it's
great being here with a room full of Democrats. And I want to thank
Stephanie; I want to thank Debbie and all the elected officials, party
leaders, and grassroots organizers who, every day, help strengthen families
and communities across our nation. You're building our party in every
country, every district, and every state and I want to be your partner
every step of the way. (Cheers, applause.)
I also want to give a big shout out to a giant of the Democratic Party,
someone who's devoted his life to serving his fellow Americans and who has
inspired and encouraged so many of us over the years, the great Walter
Mondale. (Cheers, applause.)
You know, we Democrats believe that in an America where no matter who you
are or where you come from you should have an equal shot at success.
That's the America we love. That's the America we're fighting for.
And, fundamentally, that's what's at stake in this election, whether our
country keeps moving toward opportunity and prosperity for all or whether
Republicans get another chance to rip away the progress we've worked so
hard to achieve.
Now we've come a long way these past six-and-a-half years. But let's not
forget what we inherited from the Republicans: The worst economic crisis
since the Great Depression. Thanks to the hard work and sacrifice of the
American people and the leadership of President Obama (cheers, applause)
we're standing again. But we're not yet running like we should.
This election is about who best understands the pressures facing our
families and the challenges facing us in the world and who has the skills
and tenacity to tackle them. Today families are stretched in a million
directions and so are their budgets. Costs for everything from
prescription drugs to childcare to college are going up faster than wages.
A full-time minimum wage job can’t lift you out of poverty. Middle-class
paychecks haven't increased even though corporate profits and CEO pay keeps
rising. And at a time when more women than ever are their family's main
breadwinner, too often -- can you believe it -- they still don't get equal
pay. And unions that helped create the great American middle class are
under concerted attack by Republicans and their allies. (Cheers, applause.)
And think of the millions of Americans being held back by student debt.
They can't start a business. They can't buy a house. They can't even get
married because of the loans hanging over their heads. That's not the way
it's supposed to be in America.
In America, if you work hard and do your part, you should be able to get
ahead and stay ahead. That is the basic bargain (cheers, applause) that is
the basic bargain that made this country great and that Democrats have
worked so hard over the years to strengthen and defend.
That bargain is what kept my grandfather going to work in a Scranton lace
mill factory every day. It's what led my father to believe that if he
saved and sacrificed, his small business printing fabric in Chicago could
provide us with a middle class life. And you know what, it did.
When my husband put people first and made that bargain mean something again
in the 1990s, we had 23 million new jobs, a balanced budget, and for the
first time in decades when we all grew together, not just those at the top
but everyone. (Cheers, applause.) And when President Obama did it, we
pulled back from the brink of depression, saved the auto industry, curbed
Wall Street abuses, and provided health care to 16 million people.
(Cheers, applause.)
You know, the evidence is pretty clear, the basic bargain works. If
everyone does their fair share and everyone gets a fair shot, our whole
country succeeds. And that success doesn't just go to a few, it's widely
shared. Democrats have proved that again and again.
Now it is up to us to renew that bargain for a new generation. To do what
we know works and what we know is right. We've got to make sure that every
American gets a chance to pursue his or her dreams to live up to their
God-given potential.
That's what I'll do as President. That's what people tell me they want as
I've crisscrossed the country listening. Like the single mom who's
juggling a job and classes at community college, all while raising three
kids alone. She's doing what she has to do to give herself and her kids a
good life. She doesn't expect anything to come easy. But she asked me:
Isn't there anything we can do, so it isn't quite so hard? Or the student
who told me that paying for college shouldn't be the hardest thing about
going to college. (Cheers, applause.) Or the grandmother who's raising
her grandchild because her daughter is hooked on heroin and now she needs
help with childcare while she goes back to work.
I believe raising incomes and supporting families is the defining economic
challenge of our time. (Cheers, applause.) And that's why I've made it
the focus of my campaign and it will be my mission every single day in the
White House.
Now, these aren't new fights for you or for me. My first job out of law
school wasn't at a big firm, it was at the Children's Defense Fund. And a
few years later, I started an organization called Arkansas Advocates for
Children and Families. My whole life, I've worked to even the odds for
people who have the odds stacked against them. That's what we Democrats
do. That's why we're here. It's what keeps us working and fighting,
through every up and down, for the values we share and the country we love.
Democrats believe that corporations should be held accountable when they
gouge us on drug prices, or pollute our environment, or exploit workers.
That they just can't just be allowed to write their own rules at everyone
else's expense. (Applause.)
I believe in strong growth, fair growth, and long-term growth. That the
rewards of our success cannot just go to the wealthy. That when a company
does well, shareholders and executives aren't the only ones who should
benefit; the people who work at that company day in and day out, and
produce those profits, should share in them, too. (Cheers, applause.)
Democrats believe that Americans deserve a raise. That women deserve equal
pay. (Cheers, applause.) We're the ones fighting to help families afford
college and make sure you can refinance your debt. Democrats understand
that you can’t go to work if you can't find childcare. We believe you
shouldn't lose your paycheck or your job when you have a baby or someone in
your family gets sick. We believe that everyone deserves access to
quality, affordable health care. (Cheers, applause.) And we're the ones
standing up and saying that the Affordable Care Act is here to stay.
(Cheers, applause.) We've come too far and fought too hard to let anyone
destroy it now.
And we're the ones who want to make Social Security even stronger and who
will fight any attempt to weaken America's commitment to our seniors. Who
believe in a pathway to citizenship for the millions of immigrants who love
this country and contribute to it every single day. (Cheers, applause.)
Democrats believe that no matter who you are, what you look like, what
faith you practice, or who you love, America has a place for you, and your
rights are just as sacred as anyone else's. (Cheers, applause.)
And by the way, we don't just stand up for these values here at home, we
stand up for them everywhere. That's why I traveled the world non-stop for
four years as Secretary of State, calling for equal rights for women and
girls, for LGBT people (cheers, applause) for religious minorities, for all
oppressed people, because the United States has always been a beacon of
hope to the world and we need to keep that light shining for all to see.
That's what it means to be a Democrat. Those are the values we cherish.
And it's time to stand together and defend those values, because others are
doing everything they can to take our country in a very different direction.
Who watched the Republican debates a few weeks ago? Seventeen candidates,
all trying to outdo each other in their ideological purity; all either
oblivious to how their ideas would hurt people or just not interested. Not
one of them had a single word to say about how to make college more
affordable. Not a word about equal pay for women, or paid family leave, or
quality affordable preschool for our kids so they can get the best start in
life. No solutions for skyrocketing prescription drug costs. No promises
to end the era of mass incarceration or say clearly and loudly Black Lives
Matter. (Cheers, applause.) I didn't hear any credible plan to promote
clean energy or combat climate change. And no one is standing up and
saying what we all know to be true: We need to put an end to the gun
violence that plagues our communities. (Cheers, applause.)
You know, after the terrible events of Wednesday, with two journalists
killed on live television, plus a police officer killed in Louisiana, and
many more lost every day in the daily carnage that goes largely unnoticed
now across our country, I don’t know anyone could not come to the
conclusion that something is deeply wrong.
I believe we can have common sense gun reforms that keep weapons out of the
hands that should not have them, domestic abusers, the violently unstable,
while respecting the rights of responsible gun owners.
Now, I know the politics are hard. I know that some would rather throw up
their hands or give up the fight. But not me, I am not going to sit by
while more good people die across America. (Cheers, applause.)
Republicans don't want to hear about any of these things. Their flamboyant
front-runner has grabbed a lot of the attention lately, but if you look at
everyone else's policies, they're pretty much the same. They're Trump
without the pizzazz or the hair. (Laughter.)
And I've got to add, you know, a lot of people have said a lot of things
about my hair over the years. (Laughter.) So I do kind of know what
Donald is going through. And if anyone wonders if mine is real, here's the
answer: The hair is real, the color isn't. (Laughter.) And, come to
think of it, I wonder if that’s true for Donald, too. (Laughter.)
Look, you hear Mr. Trump say hateful things about immigrants, even about
their babies. But how many of the others disagree with him? Or support a
real path to citizenship? Or draw the line at repealing the 14th
amendment? Today, the Party of Lincoln has become the Party of Trump.
Think about it. Now, of course, Mr. Trump insults and dismisses women.
And by the way, just yesterday he attacked me once again and said I didn't
have a clue about women's health issues. (Laughter.) Really? I mean you
can't make this stuff up folks. Trump actually says he would do a much
better job for women than I would. Now that's a general election debate
that's going to be fun. (Cheers, applause.)
But listen to the others. Senator Rubio brags about denying victims of
rape and incest access to abortion. Governor Bush says $500 million is too
much to spend on women's health. And they all want to defund Planned
Parenthood. I'd like them to tell that to the mom who caught her breast
cancer early because she was able to get a screening; or the teenager who
avoided an unintended pregnancy because she had access to contraception; or
anyone who’s been protected by an HIV test. (Applause.)
Now all the stuff they're saying might be red meat in a Republican primary,
but it's dead wrong in 21st-century America. (Cheers, applause.)
And, I know that when I talk like this, some people think: There she goes
again with the women's issues. Republicans say I am playing the gender
card. (Laughter.) Well, if calling for equal pay and paid leave and
women's health is playing the gender card, deal me in. (Cheers, applause.)
So my friends, we Democrats are not going to sit idly by while Republicans
shame and blame women. We're not going to stay quiet when they demonize
immigrants, whether they're Latino or Asian or anything else.
(Applause.) We're not going to keep silent when they say climate change
isn't real, or same-sex couples are threatening our freedom, or
trickle-down economics works. We can't let them take us backwards. So
we're going to fight. And we’re going to win. (Cheers, applause.)
And I'll tell you, it’s no secret that we're going up against some pretty
powerful forces who will say, do, and spend whatever it takes to advance
their out-of-touch, out-of-date agenda. As far as they're concerned, if
our democracy pays the price, so be it.
We’ve lived through this before. The Robber Barons of the late 19th
Century handed public officials bags of cash. Now we have secret,
unaccountable money that distorts our elections and drowns out the voices
of everyday Americans. We need Justices on the Supreme Court who will
protect every citizen's right to vote (cheers, applause) instead of what
they have been doing, protecting every corporation's right to buy
elections. If necessary, I will work to pass a constitutional amendment to
undo Citizens United. (Cheers, applause.) That's how important this is.
So make no mistake, this isn't going to be easy. You know that, and I know
that. But I've been fighting for families and underdogs my entire life,
and I'm not going to stop now. In fact, I'm just getting warmed up.
(Cheers, applause.) So I'm here to ask for your help. I'm not taking a
single primary voter or caucus-goer for granted. I'm building an
organization in all 50 states and territories, with hundreds of thousands
of volunteers who will help Democrats win races up and down the ticket, not
just the Presidential campaign. (Cheers, applause.)
Look, you know in 2010, Republicans routed us on redistricting, not because
they won Congress, but because they won state legislatures. And look where
we are now. We can't ever let that happen again. It's time to rebuild our
party from the ground up and if you make me the nominee, that's exactly
what I will do. (Cheers, applause.)
I’ve been around long enough to know every county and local office counts;
every school board and state house and Senate seat counts; every single
one. So we have to compete everywhere. When our state parties are strong,
we win. That's what will happen. And when Democrats win, America wins.
(Cheers, applause.)
So I hope you'll join me because we're building something that will last
long after next November. (Cheers, applause.)
I want to be President to take on all the big problems that fill our
screens every day, at home and around the world. Other candidates may be
fighting for a particular ideology, but I'm fighting for you and your
families. I'll take on the kinds of problems that keep people up at
night. How are you going to work if you can't find anyone to watch your
kids? What happens if you lose that job you worked so hard to find? Where
can you turn for that loved one who's battling addiction or struggling with
mental illness finally wants help? (Applause.)
All the challenges that millions of Americans deal with every day that they
talk to me about; challenges that our leaders should care about, but that
don't get nearly enough attention. I am paying attention. I hear you.
And I want to be President to fight those fights, too; to fight for every
American, every day; to fight for each and every one of you.
Now let me say at the end here that, you know, I am a proud new grandmother
(cheers, applause) of an 11-month-old extraordinary granddaughter,
Charlotte. And obviously her parents and Bill and I will do everything we
can to make sure she has every opportunity to pursue her dreams. But, you
know, that's not enough, because what kind of country and world will she
grow up to live in, that all of America's children will live in?
You shouldn't have to be the granddaughter of a former President and
Secretary of State to succeed in America. I want the granddaughters of
factory workers and the grandsons of farm workers to have exactly the same
chance.
So let's keep working with all our hearts toward a better future for all
our children and our grandchildren. They deserve to live in an America in
which everyone has a shot at achieving their dreams, where everyone gets to
live up to their potential and, yes, where a father can say to his
daughter, you can be anything you want even president of the United
States. (Cheers, applause.)
Thank you all. God bless you.
(Cheers, applause.)
