Remarks as Prepared for Delivery
Hi. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. My dad was an immigrant cab driver, and
my mom worked in a department store. They worked hard and built a good life
for their children. They showed us the importance of being good citizens. They
also taught us that no place in the world offered more opportunity than
America.
I stand before you as a woman who has seen how this opportunity can lift
people up. And when I see Barack Obama and Joe Biden, I see the same decency
and values that my hard-working parents taught me.
I see the wonderful promise of America, and I see the opportunity of a
lifetime to bring about the change we need.
I'm a Democrat because I believe in the power of opportunity.
Barack Obama and Joe Biden will fight, so that all Americans can pursue
their dreams. And that's change we can all believe in.
