Senator Hillary Clinton's address at 2004 Democratic National Convention
7月26日傍晚,美國民主黨全國代表大會在波士頓正式開幕。大會會場所在地——波士頓富里特中心一直是NBA老牌勁旅波士頓凱爾特人隊的主場,現在成為了歡樂的海洋,成為了全美民主黨人2004年總統大選的誓師會場,4353名民主黨政要會聚一堂,正式提名克里和愛德華茲為民主黨總統和副總統候選人,發動“倒布”總攻。當晚最精彩的一幕,是前總統克林頓和夫人希拉里的壓軸演講。
Senator Hillary Clinton:
Twelve years ago, when our country needed new leadership, Americans elected a Democrat who gave us eight years of peace, prosperity, and promise.Tonight I have the pleasure of introducing the last great Democratic President.But first I want to say a few words about the next great Democratic president, John Kerry.We meet at a moment of great peril, but also of great hope.Together we can widen the circle of opportunity for all Americans, transcend our differences and divisions, and give our children a safer and more secure future.That's the promise of America.And John Kerry will renew that promise.He will lead the world, not alienate it.Lower the deficit, not raise it.Create good jobs, not lose them.Solve a health care crisis, not ignore it.I know a thing or two about health care.And the problems have only gotten worse in the past four years.We need to rededicate ourselves to the task of providing coverage for the 44 million Americans who are uninsured and the millions of others who face rising costs.We need to lift the ban on stem cell research, and find cures that will help millions of Americans.Health care is a serious issue that requires serious solutions and that's what John Kerry will give us.John Kerry will give America something else, a great vice president.I've served with John Edwards.He's smart, he's energetic, he's empathetic.And he understands the challenges that hard-working Americans face in their daily lives.Americans will be proud to have the Kerry-Edwards team in the White House, and they'll be proud to have their extraordinary partners, Teresa Heinz Kerry and Elizabeth Edwards, there as well.We've been through our share of challenges as Americans, from a Civil War to a Great Depression 洛基國際英語

to World Wars and more.Today we face a new threat.Being a Senator from New York, I saw first-hand the devastation of 9/11.I visited Ground Zero right after we were attacked.I felt like I was standing at the Gates of Hell.I hope no American ever has to witness a sight like that again.That tragedy changed all of us.I know it changed me.And every day now, as a mother, as a Senator, and as an American I worry about whether we are acting as wisely as we can to protect our country and our people.Last week, the bipartisan 9/11 commission issued its report.It was a sober call to action that we ignore at our peril.John Kerry understands what's at stake.We need to fully equip and train our firefighters, police officers and emergency medical technicians-our first responders in the event of a terrorist attack.We need to secure our borders and our ports, as well as our chemical and nuclear plants.We need to reorganize our federal government to meet the new threats of these times.We need to make sure that homeland security is properly funded and that resources go to the areas at greatest risk.We need to take care of our men and women in uniform who risked their lives for our country.These brave Americans deserve better.We need to increase our troop strength, raise their pay, and provide veterans, the National Guard, and Reserve with the benefits they're entitled to.Do you know what we need to meet these challenges? We need John Kerry.John Kerry is a serious man, for a serious job.So let's work our hearts out and send him to the White House in 2004.And I'm optimistic we will because I know a great leader when I see one.And so does America.In 1992 and 1996, Americans chose a President who left our country in far better shape than when he took office.He still spends his days working to empower the powerless, promote racial, religious, and ethnic reconciliation, inspire young people to citizen service, and bring life saving medicines to people living with HIV/AIDS around the world.He showed Democrats how to win again.And so will John Kerry.Please welcome the 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton.“成千上萬人瘋狂下載。。。

President Bill Clinton:
Thank you.I am honored to share the podium with my Senator, though I think I should be introducing her.I'm proud of her and so grateful to the people of New York that the best public servant in our family is still on the job and grateful to all of you, especially my friends from Arkansas, for the chance you gave us to serve our country in the White House.I am also honored to share this night with President Carter, who has inspired the world with his work for peace, democracy, and human rights.And with Al Gore, my friend and partner for eight years, who played such a large role in building the prosperity and progress that brought America into the 21st century, who showed incredible grace and patriotism under pressure, and who is the living embodiment that every vote counts—and must be counted in every state in America.Tonight I speak as a citizen, returning to the role I have played for most of my life as a foot soldier in the fight for our future, as we nominate a true New England patriot for president.The state that gave us John Adams and John Kennedy has now given us John Kerry, a good man, a great senator, a visionary leader.We are constantly told America is deeply divided.But all Americans value freedom, faith, and family.We all honor the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world.We all want good jobs, good schools, health care, safe streets, a clean environment.We all want our children to grow up in a secure America leading the world toward a peaceful future.Our differences are in how we can best achieve these things, in a time of unprecedented change.Therefore, we Democrats will bring the American people a positive campaign, arguing not who's good and who's bad, but what is the best way to build the safe, prosperous world our children deserve.The 21st century is marked by serious security threats, serious economic challenges, and serious problems like global warming and the AIDS epidemic.But it is also full of enormous 洛基國際英語

opportunities—to create millions of high paying jobs in clean energy, and biotechnology;to restore the manufacturing base and reap the benefits of the global economy through our diversity and our commitment to decent labor and environmental standards everywhere;and to create a world where we can celebrate our religious and racial differences, because our common humanity matters more.To build that kind of world we must make the right choices;and we must have a president who will lead the way.Democrats and Republicans have very different and honestly held ideas on that choices we should make, rooted in fundamentally different views of how we should meet our common challenges at home and how we should play our role in the world.Democrats want to build an America of shared responsibilities and shared opportunities and more global cooperation, acting alone only when we must.We think the role of government is to give people the tools and conditions to make the most of their lives.Republicans believe in an America run by the right people, their people, in a world in which we act unilaterally when we can, and cooperate when we have to.They think the role of government is to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of those who embrace their political, economic, and social views, leaving ordinary citizens to fend for themselves on matters like health care and retirement security.Since most Americans are not that far to the right, they have to portray us Democrats as unacceptable, lacking in strength and values.In other words, they need a divided America.But Americans long to be united.After 9/11, we all wanted to be one nation, strong in the fight against terror.The president had a great opportunity to bring us together under his slogan of compassionate conservatism and to unite the world in common cause against terror.Instead, he and his congressional allies made a very different choice: to use the moment of unity to push America too far to the right and to walk away from our allies, not only in attacking Iraq before the weapons inspectors finished their jobs, but in withdrawing American support for the Climate Change Treaty, the International Court for war criminals, the ABM treaty, and even the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.Now they are working to develop two new nuclear weapons which they say we might use first.At home, the President and the Republican Congress have made equally fateful choices indeed.For the first time ever when America was on a war footing, there were two huge tax cuts, nearly half of which went to the top one percent.I'm in that group now for the first time in my life.When I was in office, the Republicans were pretty mean to me.When I left and made money, I became part of the most important group in the world to them.At first I thought I should send them a thank you note—until I realized they were sending you the bill.They protected my tax cuts while: 洛基國際英語

· Withholding promised funding for the Leave No Child Behind Act, leaving over 2 million children behind
· Cutting 140,000 unemployed workers out of job training
· 100,000 working families out of child care assistance
· 300,000 poor children out of after school programs
· Raising out of pocket healthcare costs to veterans
· Weakening or reversing important environmental advances for clean air and the preservation of our forests.Everyone had to sacrifice except the wealthiest Americans, who wanted to do their part but were asked only to expend the energy necessary to open the envelopes containing our tax cuts.If you agree with these choices, you should vote to return them to the White House and Congress.If not, take a look at John Kerry, John Edwards and the Democrats.In this year's budget, the White House wants to cut off federal funding for 88,000 uniformed police, including more than 700 on the New York City police force who put their lives on the line on 9/11.As gang violence is rising and we look for terrorists in our midst, Congress and the President are also about to allow the ten-year-old ban on assault weapons to expire.Our crime policy was to put more police on the streets and take assault weapons off the streets.It brought eight years of declining crime and violence.Their policy is the reverse, they're taking police off the streets and putting assault weapons back on the streets.If you agree with their choices, vote to continue them.If not, join John Kerry, John Edwards and the Democrats in making America safer, smarter, and stronger.On Homeland Security, Democrats tried to double the number of containers at ports and airports checked for Weapons of Mass Destruction.The one billion dollar cost would have been paid for by reducing the tax cut of 200,000 millionaires by five thousand dollars each.Almost all 200,000 of us would have been glad to pay 5,000 dollars to make the nearly 300 million Americans safer—but the measure failed because the White House and the Republican leadership in the House decided my tax cut was more important-If you agree with that choice, re-elect them.If not, give John Kerry and John Edwards a chance.These policies have turned the projected 5.8 trillion dollar surplus we left—enough to pay for the baby boomers retirement—into a projected debt of nearly 5 trillion dollars, with a 400 plus billion dollar deficit this year and for years to come.How do they pay for it?

If you think it's good policy to pay for my tax cut with the Social Security checks of working men and women, and borrowed money from China, vote for them.If not, John Kerry's your man.We Americans must choose for President one of two strong men who both love our country, but who have very different worldviews: Democrats favor shared responsibility, shared opportunity, and more global cooperation.Republicans favor concentrated wealth and power, leaving people to fend for themselves and more unilateral action.I think we're right for two reasons: First, America works better when all people have a chance to live their dreams.Second, we live in an interdependent world in which we can't kill, jail, or occupy all our potential adversaries, so we have to both fight terror and build a world with more partners and fewer terrorists.We tried it their way for twelve years, our way for eight, and then their way for four more.By the only test that matters, whether people were better off when we finished than when we started, our way works better—it produced over 22 million good jobs, rising incomes, and 100 times as many people moving out of poverty into the middle class.It produced more health care, the largest increase in college aid in 50 years, record home ownership, a cleaner environment, three surpluses in a row, a modernized defense force, strong efforts against terror, and an America respected as a world leader for peace, security and prosperity.More importantly, we have great new champions in John Kerry and John Edwards.Two good men with wonderful wives—Teresa a generous and wise woman who understands the world we are trying to shape.And Elizabeth, a lawyer and mother who understands the lives we are all trying to lift.Here is what I know about John Kerry.During the Vietnam War, many young men—including the current president, the vice president and me—could have gone to Vietnam but didn't.John Kerry came from a privileged background and could have avoided it too.Instead he said, send me.When they sent those swift-boats up the river in Vietnam, and told them their job was to draw hostile fire—to show the American flag and bait the enemy to come out and fight—John Kerry said, send me.When it was time to heal the wounds of war and normalize relations with Vietnam—and to demand an accounting of the POWs and MIAs we lost there—John Kerry said, send me.When we needed someone to push the cause of inner-city kids struggling to avoid a life of crime, or to bring the benefits of high technology to ordinary Americans, or to clean the environment in a way that creates jobs, or to give small businesses a better chance to make it, John Kerry said send me.Tonight my friends, I ask you to join me for the next 100 days in telling John Kerry's story and promoting his plans.Let every person in this hall and all across America say to him what he has always said to America: Send Me.The bravery that the men who fought by his side saw in battle 洛基國際英語

I've seen in the political arena.When I was President, John Kerry showed courage and conviction on crime, on welfare reform, on balancing the budget at a time when those priorities were not exactly a way to win a popularity contest in our party.He took tough positions on tough problems.John Kerry knows who he is and where he's going.He has the experience, the character, the ideas and the values to be a great President.In a time of change he has two other important qualities: his insatiable curiosity to understand the forces shaping our lives, and a willingness to hear the views even of those who disagree with him.Therefore his choices will be full of both conviction and common sense.He proved that when he picked a tremendous partner in John Edwards.Everybody talks about John Edwards' energy, intellect, and charisma.The important thing is how he has used his talents to improve the lives of people who—like John himself—had to work hard for all they've got.He has always championed the cause of people too often left out or left behind.And that's what he'll do as our Vice President.Their opponents will tell you to be afraid of John Kerry and John Edwards, because they won't stand up to the terrorists—don't you believe it.Strength and wisdom are not conflicting values—they go hand in hand.John Kerry has both.His first priority will be keeping America safe.Remember the scripture: Be Not Afraid.John Kerry and John Edwards, have good ideas:
· To make this economy work again for middle-class Americans;
· To restore fiscal responsibility;
· To save Social Security;to make healthcare more affordable and college more available;
· To free us from dependence on foreign oil and create new jobs in clean energy;
· To rally the world to win the war on terror and to make more friends and fewer terrorists.At every turning point in our history we the people have chosen unity over division, heeding our founders' call to America's eternal mission: to form a more perfect union, to widen the circle of opportunity, deepen the reach of freedom, and strengthen the bonds of community.It happened because we made the right choices.In the early days of the republic, America was at a crossroads much like it is today, deeply divided over whether or not to build a real nation with a national economy, and a national legal system.We chose a more perfect union.In the Civil War, America was at a crossroads, divided over whether to save the union and end 洛基國際英語

slavery—we chose a more perfect union.In the 1960s, America was at a crossroads, divided again over civil rights and women's rights.Again, we chose a more perfect union.As I said in 1992, we're all in this together;we have an obligation both to work hard and to help our fellow citizens, both to fight terror and to build a world with more cooperation and less terror.Now again, it is time to choose.Since we're all in the same boat, let us chose as the captain of our ship a brave good man who knows how to steer a vessel though troubled waters to the calm seas and clear skies of our more perfect union.We know our mission.Let us join as one and say in a loud, clear voice: Send John Kerry.“成千上萬人瘋狂下載。。。

第五篇:2004年民主黨全國代表大會主題演講
奧巴馬
2004年民主黨全國代表大會主題演講 謝謝你,德賓。你讓我們所有的驕傲。
代表伊利諾伊州的偉大國家,一個民族的十字路口,林肯土地,讓我表達我最深切的感謝為解決這一公約的特權。
今晚對我來說是特別榮幸,因為讓我們面對它,我在這個舞臺上的存在是相當不可能的。我的父親是一個外國學生,在肯尼亞的一個小村莊出生和長大。他從小放牧山羊,在錫屋頂的窩棚去上學。他的父親,我的祖父是一個廚師,一個傭人英國。
但我的祖父為他的兒子更大的夢想。經過艱苦的努力和毅力,我的父親得到了一個神奇的地方,美國,作為一個自由和機會,許多人來之前的燈塔照耀一門學問來研究。雖然在這里學習,我的父親遇到了我的母親。她出生在一個小鎮,在世界的另一端,在堪薩斯州。她的父親從事石油鉆井平臺和農場,通過大蕭條。珍珠港后的第二天,我的祖父簽署了責任;加入巴頓將軍的軍隊,整個歐洲的游行。
回到家里,我的祖母提出了一個嬰兒,并在轟炸機裝配線上班去了。戰爭結束后,他們研究的G.I.條例草案“,通過FHA的買了一套房子,后來搬到西一路在尋找機會到夏威夷。,他們也為他們的女兒大夢想。一個共同的夢想,兩個大陸出生。
我的父母共享不僅是不可能的愛,他們共享一個堅定的信念在本民族的可能性。他們會給我一個非洲名字,巴拉克,或“祝福”,相信,在一個寬容的美國,你的名字是沒有成功的障礙。他們想象我在土地上最好的學校,即使他們并不富裕,因為在一個大手筆
沒有美國你要豐富,以實現你的潛力。他們都去世。然而,我知道,在這個夜晚,他們看不起我感到非常自豪。
而我今天站在這里,感謝我的遺產的多樣性,知道我父母的夢想就住在我的兩個寶貴的女兒。站在這里,我知道我的故事是較大的美國故事的一部分,我欠了債,所有那些在我之前來到,并認為,在地球上沒有其他國家,甚至是我的故事可能。
今晚,我們聚集在肯定了我們民族的偉大六個兩個,六三,清晰的眼睛一個輕松的笑容。他告訴我,他加入了海軍陸戰隊前往伊拉克接下來的一周。我聽了向他解釋為什么他入伍,絕對的信心,他在我們的國家及其領導人,他的獻身精神,責任和服務,我認為這個年輕人,我們可能永遠希望孩子。
但后來我問自己,“是我們服務夏姆斯,以及他是我們服務嗎?”
我想到了900名男子和婦女的兒子和女兒,丈夫和妻子,朋友和鄰居,誰也不會回到自己的家鄉。我想到了我見過的家庭都在努力得到心愛的人的全部收入的情況下,或者其親人缺少的肢體或神經破滅返回的,但仍缺乏長期的健康的好處,因為他們預備役。
當我們傷害的方式發送到我們的青年男女,我們有一個莊嚴義務,不捏造的數字或遮陽為什么他們要去,照顧他們的家人,而他們走了的真理,往往后兵他們的回報,永遠沒有足夠的部隊贏得戰爭,戰爭,安全的和平,并獲得了世界的尊重。
現在,我要明確。讓我清楚。我們已在世界上真正的敵人。必須找到這些敵人。他們必須繼續下去。他們必須被打敗。克里知道這一點。中將克里就像毫不猶豫風險自己的生命保護的人與他在越南服役,總統克里不會猶豫使用我們的軍事力量,以保持美國安全和可靠的時刻之一。
克里認為,在美國。他知道,它是不夠的,只是我們中的一些蓬勃發展;,與我們的著名的個人主義在美國的傳奇,我們都連接為一個人的信念,還有另一種成分。如果有一個孩子在芝加哥南側,誰也看不懂,那我事項,即使它不是我的孩子。如果有一個敬老的地方誰可以不支付他們的處方藥,醫藥和租金之間的選擇,這使得我的生活較貧困,即使這不是我的祖父母或外祖父母。如果有一個阿拉伯裔美國人的家庭,在沒有律師或正當程序,威脅我公民自由四舍五入。
這是基本的信念:我是我弟弟的門將,我妹妹的門將,使得這個國家的工作。這是什么使我們能夠追求我們個人的夢想,但仍是一個美國家庭一起。? pluribus UNUM:“超出許多,一。”
現在,即使我們說話,還有那些正準備分裂我們的軍師,擁抱“任何政治的負面廣告販子。”好吧,我對他們說:今晚,是不是一個自由主義的美國和一個保守的美國:美利堅合眾國。沒有一個黑色美國和一個美國白人和拉美裔美國和亞洲地區:美利堅合眾國。
學者,學者喜歡切片和骰子到紅國和藍國的我國,紅色,藍色為民主黨共和黨。但我有他們的消息,太。我們崇拜在藍國的“可畏的神”,和我們不一樣戳在我們的圖書館在紅國的聯邦特工。我們的教練在藍國少棒,是的,我們已經有了一些同性戀朋友在紅國。有愛國者反對伊拉克戰爭,有愛國者支持伊拉克戰爭。我們是一家人,我們宣誓效忠星條旗,我們都捍衛美利堅合眾國。
最后,這就是這次選舉。我們參與政治犬儒主義還是我們希望政治參與嗎?
克里呼吁對我們的希望。愛德華茲對我們的希望。
我不是說盲目樂觀,在這里幾乎是故意的無知,認為失業率將消失,如果我們只是不想想,或保健危機的解決,如果我們忽略它。這不是我在說什么。我說的是一些較大幅度的。這是希望的奴隸坐在周圍唱自由歌曲的消防;遙遠的海岸的移民的希望,勇敢地巡邏湄公河三角洲的一個年輕的海軍中尉的希望;希望一個millworker的兒子誰膽敢以身試法的幾率;一個骨瘦如柴的孩子一個有趣的名字,他認為,美國已經為他的地方,也希望。
希望在面對困難。希望在面對不確定性。無畏的希望!
最后,這是神給我們的最大的禮物,這個民族的基石。信仰的東西沒見過。一個信念,即有更好的日子。
我相信我們可以給我們的中產階級救濟和工薪家庭提供了一個機會之路。
我相信我們可以提供就業機會,失業,家庭無家可歸者,并回收在美國各地的城市暴力和絕望的年輕人。
我相信,我們已經在我們的備份和正義的風,因為我們站在歷史的十字路口上,我們可以做出正確的選擇,并滿足我們所面臨的挑戰。
美!今晚,如果你覺得我做相同的能量,如果你覺得我做同樣的緊迫性,如果你覺得我做同樣的熱情,如果你覺得相同的希望,怎么做,如果我們做我們必須做什么,然后我毫不懷疑,在全國各地,從佛羅里達州到俄勒岡州,從華盛頓到緬因州,人民的意志上升十一月,和克里將宣誓就任總統,愛德華茲將在副總統宣誓就職,并這個國家將收回其承諾,這漫長的政治黑暗,更美好的一天終究會到來。
非常感謝大家。上帝保佑你。謝謝。
