hank you! Oh, thank you all! Thank you so very, very much.
It is wonderful to be here with all of you.
To be in New York with my family, with so many friends, including many New Yorkers who gave me the honor of serving them in the Senate for eight years.
To be right across the water from the headquarters of the United Nations, where I represented our country many times.
To be here in this beautiful park dedicated to Franklin Roosevelt’s enduring vision of America, the nation we want to be.
And in a place… with absolutely no ceilings.
You know, President Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms are a testament to our nation’s unmatched aspirations and a reminder of our unfinished work at home and abroad. His legacy lifted up a nation and inspired presidents who followed. One is the man I served as Secretary of State, Barack Obama, and another is my husband, Bill Clinton.
Two Democrats guided by the — Oh, that will make him so happy. They were and are two Democrats guided by the fundamental American belief that real and lasting prosperity must be built by all and shared by all.
President Roosevelt called on every American to do his or her part, and every American answered. He said there’s no mystery about what it takes to build a strong and prosperous America: “Equality of opportunity… Jobs for those who can work… Security for those who need it… The ending of special privilege for the few… The preservation of civil liberties for all… a wider and constantly rising standard of living.”
That still sounds good to me.
It’s America’s basic bargain. If you do your part you ought to be able to get ahead. And when everybody does their part, America gets ahead too.
That bargain inspired generations of families, including my own.
It’s what kept my grandfather going to work in the same Scranton lace mill every day for 50 years.
It’s what led my father to believe that if he scrimped and saved, his small business printing drapery fabric in Chicago could provide us with a middle-class life. And it did.
When President Clinton honored the bargain, we had the longest peacetime expansion in history, a balanced budget, and the first time in decades we all grew together, with the bottom 20 percent of workers increasing their incomes by the same percentage as the top 5 percent.
When President Obama honored the bargain, we pulled back from the brink of Depression, saved the auto industry, provided health care to 16 million working people, and replaced the jobs we lost faster than after a financial crash.
But, it’s not 1941, or 1993, or even 2009. We face new challenges in our economy and our democracy.
We’re still working our way back from a crisis that happened because time-tested values were replaced by false promises.
Instead of an economy built by every American, for every American, we were told that if we let those at the top pay lower taxes and bend the rules, their success would trickle down to everyone else.
What happened?
Well, instead of a balanced budget with surpluses that could have eventually paid off our national debt, the Republicans twice cut taxes for the wealthiest, borrowed money from other countries to pay for two wars, and family incomes dropped. You know where we ended up.
Except it wasn’t the end.
As we have since our founding, Americans made a new beginning.
You worked extra shifts, took second jobs, postponed home repairs… you figured out how to make it work. And now people are beginning to think about their future again – going to college, starting a business, buying a house, finally being able to put away something for retirement.
So we’re standing again. But, we all know we’re not yet running the way America should.
You see corporations making record profits, with CEOs making record pay, but your paychecks have barely budged.
While many of you are working multiple jobs to make ends meet, you see the top 25 hedge fund managers making more than all of America’s kindergarten teachers combined. And, often paying a lower tax rate.
So, you have to wonder: “When does my hard work pay off? When does my family get ahead?”
“When?”
I say now.
Prosperity can’t be just for CEOs and hedge fund managers.
Democracy can’t be just for billionaires and corporations.
Prosperity and democracy are part of your basic bargain too.
You brought our country back.
Now it’s time — your time to secure the gains and move ahead.
And, you know what?
America can’t succeed unless you succeed.
That is why I am running for President of the United States.
Here, on Roosevelt Island, I believe we have a continuing rendezvous with destiny. Each American and the country we cherish.
I’m running to make our economy work for you and for every American.
For the successful and the struggling.
For the innovators and inventors.
For those breaking barriers in technology and discovering cures for diseases.
For the factory workers and food servers who stand on their feet all day.
For the nurses who work the night shift.
For the truckers who drive for hours and the farmers who feed us.
For the veterans who served our country.
For the small business owners who took a risk.
For everyone who’s ever been knocked down, but refused to be knocked out.
I’m not running for some Americans, but for all Americans.
Our country’s challenges didn’t begin with the Great Recession and they won’t end with the recovery.
For decades, Americans have been buffeted by powerful currents.
Advances in technology and the rise of global trade have created whole new areas of economic activity and opened new markets for our exports, but they have also displaced jobs and undercut wages for millions of Americans.
The financial industry and many multi-national corporations have created huge wealth for a few by focusing too much on short-term profit and too little on long-term value… too much on complex trading schemes and stock buybacks, too little on investments in new businesses, jobs, and fair compensation.
Our political system is so paralyzed by gridlock and dysfunction that most Americans have lost confidence that anything can actually get done. And they’ve lost trust in the ability of both government and Big Business to change course.
Now, we can blame historic forces beyond our control for some of this, but the choices we’ve made as a nation, leaders and citizens alike, have also played a big role.
Our next President must work with Congress and every other willing partner across our entire country. And I will do just that — to turn the tide so these currents start working for us more than against us.
At our best, that’s what Americans do. We’re problem solvers, not deniers. We don’t hide from change, we harness it.
But we can’t do that if we go back to the top-down economic policies that failed us before.
Americans have come too far to see our progress ripped away.
Now, there may be some new voices in the presidential Republican choir, but they’re all singing the same old song…
A song called “Yesterday.”
You know the one — all our troubles look as though they’re here to stay… and we need a place to hide away… They believe in yesterday.
And you’re lucky I didn’t try singing that, too, I’ll tell you!
These Republicans trip over themselves promising lower taxes for the wealthy and fewer rules for the biggest corporations without regard for how that will make income inequality even worse.
We’ve heard this tune before. And we know how it turns out.
Ask many of these candidates about climate change, one of the defining threats of our time, and they’ll say: “I’m not a scientist.” Well, then, why don’t they start listening to those who are?
They pledge to wipe out tough rules on Wall Street, rather than rein in the banks that are still too risky, courting future failures. In a case that can only be considered mass amnesia.
They want to take away health insurance from more than 16 million Americans without offering any credible alternative.
They shame and blame women, rather than respect our right to make our own reproductive health decisions.
They want to put immigrants, who work hard and pay taxes, at risk of deportation.
And they turn their backs on gay people who love each other.
Fundamentally, they reject what it takes to build an inclusive economy. It takes an inclusive society. What I once called “a village” that has a place for everyone.
Now, my values and a lifetime of experiences have given me a different vision for America.
I believe that success isn’t measured by how much the wealthiest Americans have, but by how many children climb out of poverty…
How many start-ups and small businesses open and thrive…
How many young people go to college without drowning in debt…
How many people find a good job…
How many families get ahead and stay ahead.
I didn’t learn this from politics. I learned it from my own family.
My mother taught me that everybody needs a chance and a champion. She knew what it was like not to have either one.
Her own parents abandoned her, and by 14 she was out on her own, working as a housemaid. Years later, when I was old enough to understand, I asked what kept her going.
You know what her answer was? Something very simple: Kindness from someone who believed she mattered.
The 1st grade teacher who saw she had nothing to eat at lunch and, without embarrassing her, brought extra food to share.
The woman whose house she cleaned letting her go to high school so long as her work got done. That was a bargain she leapt to accept.
And, because some people believed in her, she believed in me.
That’s why I believe with all my heart in America and in the potential of every American.
To meet every challenge.
To be resilient… no matter what the world throws at you.
To solve the toughest problems.
I believe we can do all these things because I’ve seen it happen.
As a young girl, I signed up at my Methodist Church to babysit the children of Mexican farmworkers, while their parents worked in the fields on the weekends. And later, as a law student, I advocated for Congress to require better working and living conditions for farm workers whose children deserved better opportunities.
My first job out of law school was for the Children’s Defense Fund. I walked door-to-door to find out how many children with disabilities couldn’t go to school, and to help build the case for a law guaranteeing them access to education.
As a leader of the Legal Services Corporation, I defended the right of poor people to have a lawyer. And saw lives changed because an abusive marriage ended or an illegal eviction stopped.
In Arkansas, I supervised law students who represented clients in courts and prisons, organized scholarships for single parents going to college, led efforts for better schools and health care, and personally knew the people whose lives were improved.
As Senator, I had the honor of representing brave firefighters, police officers, EMTs, construction workers, and volunteers who ran toward danger on 9/11 and stayed there, becoming sick themselves.
It took years of effort, but Congress finally approved the health care they needed.
There are so many faces and stories that I carry with me of people who gave their best and then needed help themselves.
Just weeks ago, I met another person like that, a single mom juggling a job and classes at community college, while raising three kids.
She doesn’t expect anything to come easy. But she did ask me: What more can be done so it isn’t quite so hard for families like hers?
I want to be her champion and your champion.
If you’ll give me the chance, I’ll wage and win Four Fights for you.
The first is to make the economy work for everyday Americans, not just those at the top.
To make the middle class mean something again, with rising incomes and broader horizons. And to give the poor a chance to work their way into it.
The middle class needs more growth and more fairness. Growth and fairness go together. For lasting prosperity, you can’t have one without the other.
Is this possible in today’s world?
I believe it is or I wouldn’t be standing here.
Do I think it will be easy? Of course not.
But, here’s the good news: There are allies for change everywhere who know we can’t stand by while inequality increases, wages stagnate, and the promise of America dims. We should welcome the support of all Americans who want to go forward together with us.
There are public officials who know Americans need a better deal.
Business leaders who want higher pay for employees, equal pay for women and no discrimination against the LGBT community either.
There are leaders of finance who want less short-term trading and more long-term investing.
There are union leaders who are investing their own pension funds in putting people to work to build tomorrow’s economy. We need everyone to come to the table and work with us.
In the coming weeks, I’ll propose specific policies to:
Reward businesses who invest in long term value rather than the quick buck – because that leads to higher growth for the economy, higher wages for workers, and yes, bigger profits, everybody will have a better time.
I will rewrite the tax code so it rewards hard work and investments here at home, not quick trades or stashing profits overseas.
I will give new incentives to companies that give their employees a fair share of the profits their hard work earns.
We will unleash a new generation of entrepreneurs and small business owners by providing tax relief, cutting red tape, and making it easier to get a small business loan.
We will restore America to the cutting edge of innovation, science, and research by increasing both public and private investments.
And we will make America the clean energy superpower of the 21st century.
Developing renewable power – wind, solar, advanced biofuels…
Building cleaner power plants, smarter electric grids, greener buildings…
Using additional fees and royalties from fossil fuel extraction to protect the environment…
And ease the transition for distressed communities to a more diverse and sustainable economic future from coal country to Indian country, from small towns in the Mississippi Delta to the Rio Grande Valley to our inner cities, we have to help our fellow Americans.
Now, this will create millions of jobs and countless new businesses, and enable America to lead the global fight against climate change.
We will also connect workers to their jobs and businesses. Customers will have a better chance to actually get where they need and get what they desire with roads, railways, bridges, airports, ports, and broadband brought up to global standards for the 21st century.
We will establish an infrastructure bank and sell bonds to pay for some of these improvements.
Now, building an economy for tomorrow also requires investing in our most important asset, our people, beginning with our youngest.
That’s why I will propose that we make preschool and quality childcare available to every child in America.
And I want you to remember this, because to me, this is absolutely the most-compelling argument why we should do this. Research tells us how much early learning in the first five years of life can impact lifelong success. In fact, 80 percent of the brain is developed by age three.
One thing I’ve learned is that talent is universal – you can find it anywhere – but opportunity is not. Too many of our kids never have the chance to learn and thrive as they should and as we need them to.
Our country won’t be competitive or fair if we don’t help more families give their kids the best possible start in life.
So let’s staff our primary and secondary schools with teachers who are second to none in the world, and receive the respect they deserve for sparking the love of learning in every child.
Let’s make college affordable and available to all …and lift the crushing burden of student debt.
Let’s provide lifelong learning for workers to gain or improve skills the economy requires, setting up many more Americans for success.
Now, the second fight is to strengthen America’s families, because when our families are strong, America is strong.
And today’s families face new and unique pressures. Parents need more support and flexibility to do their job at work and at home.
I believe you should have the right to earn paid sick days.
I believe you should receive your work schedule with enough notice to arrange childcare or take college courses to get ahead.
I believe you should look forward to retirement with confidence, not anxiety.
That you should have the peace of mind that your health care will be there when you need it, without breaking the bank.
I believe we should offer paid family leave so no one has to choose between keeping a paycheck and caring for a new baby or a sick relative.
And it is way past time to end the outrage of so many women still earning less than men on the job — and women of color often making even less.
This isn’t a women’s issue. It’s a family issue. Just like raising the minimum wage is a family issue. Expanding childcare is a family issue. Declining marriage rates is a family issue. The unequal rates of incarceration is a family issue. Helping more people with an addiction or a mental health problem get help is a family issue.
In America, every family should feel like they belong.
So we should offer hard-working, law-abiding immigrant families a path to citizenship. Not second-class status.
And, we should ban discrimination against LGBT Americans and their families so they can live, learn, marry, and work just like everybody else.
You know, America’s diversity, our openness, our devotion to human rights and freedom is what’s drawn so many to our shores. What’s inspired people all over the world. I know. I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
And these are also qualities that prepare us well for the demands of a world that is more interconnected than ever before.
So we have a third fight: to harness all of America’s power, smarts, and values to maintain our leadership for peace, security, and prosperity.
No other country on Earth is better positioned to thrive in the 21st century. No other country is better equipped to meet traditional threats from countries like Russia, North Korea, and Iran – and to deal with the rise of new powers like China.
No other country is better prepared to meet emerging threats from cyber attacks, transnational terror networks like ISIS, and diseases that spread across oceans and continents.
As your President, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep Americans safe.
And if you look over my left shoulder you can see the new World Trade Center soaring skyward.
As a Senator from New York, I dedicated myself to getting our city and state the help we needed to recover. And as a member of the Armed Services Committee, I worked to maintain the best-trained, best-equipped, strongest military, ready for today’s threats and tomorrow’s.
And when our brave men and women come home from war or finish their service, I’ll see to it that they get not just the thanks of a grateful nation, but the care and benefits they’ve earned.
I’ve stood up to adversaries like Putin and reinforced allies like Israel. I was in the Situation Room on the day we got bin Laden.
But, I know — I know we have to be smart as well as strong.
Meeting today’s global challenges requires every element of America’s power, including skillful diplomacy, economic influence, and building partnerships to improve lives around the world with people, not just their governments.
There are a lot of trouble spots in the world, but there’s a lot of good news out there too.
I believe the future holds far more opportunities than threats if we exercise creative and confident leadership that enables us to shape global events rather than be shaped by them.
And we all know that in order to be strong in the world, though, we first have to be strong at home. That’s why we have to win the fourth fight – reforming our government and revitalizing our democracy so that it works for everyday Americans.
We have to stop the endless flow of secret, unaccountable money that is distorting our elections, corrupting our political process, and drowning out the voices of our people.
We need Justices on the Supreme Court who will protect every citizen’s right to vote, rather than every corporation’s right to buy elections.
If necessary, I will support a constitutional amendment to undo the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United.
I want to make it easier for every citizen to vote. That’s why I’ve proposed universal, automatic registration and expanded early voting.
I’ll fight back against Republican efforts to disempower and disenfranchise young people, poor people, people with disabilities, and people of color.
What part of democracy are they afraid of?
No matter how easy we make it to vote, we still have to give Americans something worth voting for.
Government is never going to have all the answers – but it has to be smarter, simpler, more efficient, and a better partner.
That means access to advanced technology so government agencies can more effectively serve their customers, the American people.
We need expertise and innovation from the private sector to help cut waste and streamline services.
There’s so much that works in America. For every problem we face, someone somewhere in America is solving it. Silicon Valley cracked the code on sharing and scaling a while ago. Many states are pioneering new ways to deliver services. I want to help Washington catch up.
To do that, we need a political system that produces results by solving problems that hold us back, not one overwhelmed by extreme partisanship and inflexibility.
Now, I’ll always seek common ground with friend and opponent alike. But I’ll also stand my ground when I must.
That’s something I did as Senator and Secretary of State — whether it was working with Republicans to expand health care for children and for our National Guard, or improve our foster care and adoption system, or pass a treaty to reduce the number of Russian nuclear warheads that could threaten our cities — and it’s something I will always do as your President.
We Americans may differ, bicker, stumble, and fall; but we are at our best when we pick each other up, when we have each other’s back.
Like any family, our American family is strongest when we cherish what we have in common, and fight back against those who would drive us apart.
People all over the world have asked me: “How could you and President Obama work together after you fought so hard against each other in that long campaign?”
Now, that is an understandable question considering that in many places, if you lose an election you could get imprisoned or exiled – even killed – not hired as Secretary of State.
But President Obama asked me to serve, and I accepted because we both love our country. That’s how we do it in America.
With that same spirit, together, we can win these four fights.
We can build an economy where hard work is rewarded.
We can strengthen our families.
We can defend our country and increase our opportunities all over the world.
And we can renew the promise of our democracy.
If we all do our part. In our families, in our businesses, unions, houses of worship, schools, and, yes, in the voting booth.
I want you to join me in this effort. Help me build this campaign and make it your own.
Talk to your friends, your family, your neighbors.

It’s no secret that we’re going up against some pretty powerful forces that will do and spend whatever it takes to advance a very different vision for America. But I’ve spent my life fighting for children, families, and our country. And I’m not stopping now.
You know, I know how hard this job is. I’ve seen it up close and personal.
All our Presidents come into office looking so vigorous. And then we watch their hair grow grayer and grayer.
Well, I may not be the youngest candidate in this race. But I will be the youngest woman President in the history of the United States!
And the first grandmother as well.
And one additional advantage: You’re won’t see my hair turn white in the White House. I’ve been coloring it for years!
So I’m looking forward to a great debate among Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. I’m not running to be a President only for those Americans who already agree with me. I want to be a President for all Americans.
And along the way, I’ll just let you in on this little secret. I won’t get everything right. Lord knows I’ve made my share of mistakes. Well, there’s no shortage of people pointing them out!
And I certainly haven’t won every battle I’ve fought. But leadership means perseverance and hard choices. You have to push through the setbacks and disappointments and keep at it.
I think you know by now that I’ve been called many things by many people — “quitter” is not one of them.
Like so much else in my life, I got this from my mother.
When I was a girl, she never let me back down from any bully or barrier. In her later years, Mom lived with us, and she was still teaching me the same lessons. I’d come home from a hard day at the Senate or the State Department, sit down with her at the small table in our breakfast nook, and just let everything pour out. And she would remind me why we keep fighting, even when the odds are long and the opposition is fierce.
I can still hear her saying: “Life’s not about what happens to you, it’s about what you do with what happens to you – so get back out there.”
She lived to be 92 years old, and I often think about all the battles she witnessed over the course of the last century — all the progress that was won because Americans refused to give up or back down.
She was born on June 4, 1919 — before women in America had the right to vote. But on that very day, after years of struggle, Congress passed the Constitutional Amendment that would change that forever.
The story of America is a story of hard-fought, hard-won progress. And it continues today. New chapters are being written by men and women who believe that all of us – not just some, but all – should have the chance to live up to our God-given potential.
Not only because we’re a tolerant country, or a generous country, or a compassionate country, but because we’re a better, stronger, more prosperous country when we harness the talent, hard work, and ingenuity of every single American.
I wish my mother could have been with us longer. I wish she could have seen Chelsea become a mother herself. I wish she could have met Charlotte.
I wish she could have seen the America we’re going to build together.
An America, where if you do your part, you reap the rewards.
Where we don’t leave anyone out, or anyone behind.
An America where a father can tell his daughter: yes, you can be anything you want to be. Even President of the United States.
Thank you all. God bless you. And may God bless America.

谢谢！呵呵，谢谢大家！非常非常感谢你们。
能这里跟大家在一起真美妙。
和我的家人来纽约，见到这么多朋友，包括很多给过我那种荣幸，让我在参议院为他们服务八年的纽约人。
来到和对面联合国总部一水之隔的地方，在那里我曾多次代表我们国家参会。
在这个纪念富兰克林·罗斯福对美国经久不衰的设想的美丽的公园里，我们希望这个国家实现那种设想。
而在这地方......绝对没有天花板。
要知道，罗斯福总统的四大自由证明了我们国家无与伦比的理想，以及对我们在国内外未成事业的提醒。他的遗产提升了整个国家，鼓舞后来的总统去遵循。其中之一是我为之担任国务卿的奥巴马，另一位是我的丈夫，比尔·克林顿。
两个民主党员被其引导 - （欢呼）哦，那会让他高兴死了。他们和两个民主党员被美国的根本信念所指导，那就是真正的和持久的繁荣必须由全体国民来建成并由全体国民来共享。
罗斯福总统呼吁每个美国人做他或她的一部分，每个美国人为之响应。他说，如何才能建立一个强大和繁荣的美国是没有什么神秘的：“机会平等......为可以工作的提供职位...为需要安全的提供保障...结束少数人的特权。保护所有人的公民自由......为更广泛的和不断提高的生活标准”。
这听起来我仍然同意。
这是美国的基本契约。如果你做你的那部分，你应该能够获得成功。当每个人都做好自己的本职工作，美国也就领先了。
这份契约激励了几代人的家庭，包括我自己的。
就是这，维持我爷爷每天去同一家斯克兰顿麻纺厂工作，一干50年。
就是这，让我父亲坚信，如果他省吃俭用，他在芝加哥的印刷布料织物的小生意，可以为我家提供一个中产阶级的生活。他做到了。
当克林顿总统尊重这份契约，我们有了历史上最长的和平时期的经济增长，平衡的预算，并在第一次在十年间，我们都一起成长，底层20％的员工收入和顶层的5％有了相同的百分比增长。
当奥巴马总统尊重这份契约，我们从大萧条的边缘拉了回来，拯救了汽车工业，为1600万劳动人民提供医疗保健，更新工作岗位的速度比历史上金融危机后失去的速度还要快。
但是，现在不是1941年，或1993年，或甚至2009年，我们的经济和民主面对新的挑战。
我们仍在努力恢复的路上，离开那个由于时间考验的价值观被虚假承诺所取代而导致的危机。
不是通过我为人人，人人为我的建设经济，我们反而被教唆，如果让那些在顶部的人支付较低的税收和扭曲规则，他们的成功将涓滴到其他人。
结果怎样？
不是预算的平衡，盈余可能最终还清了我们的国债，而是共和党两次为最富有的人减税，用从其他国家借来的钱来支付两场战争，家庭收入下降。你知道，我们的结果是怎样。
除非这事还没完。
就像我国建国那时一样，美国人有了一个新的开始。
你加班工作，打第二份工，推迟自宅维修......你绞尽脑汁平衡家庭账本。而现在人们开始思考自己的未来 - 要上大学，创业，买房子，终于能够攒下一些财产退休。
所以我们又站起来了。但是，我们都知道我们还没有以美国应该有的方式跑起来。
你看到大企业创纪录的利润，CEO创记录的收入，但你的薪水几乎没有变化。
虽然很多人都干几份工作还是入不敷出，你看到前25名对冲基金经理的收入超过美国所有幼儿园教师的收入总和。而且，他们往往还支付较低的税率。
所以，你不得不怀疑：“什么时候我的辛勤工作有合理回报？什么时候我的家人能获得成功？“
“什么时候？”我说现在。
繁荣不能只限于CEO和对冲基金经理，民主不能只为富豪和企业服务，繁荣和民主也是你们基本契约的一部分。
你们让国家恢复起来。现在是时候，是你们保障回报和迈向前进的时候。
而且，你知道吗？
除非你们成功了，美国不能成功。
这就是为什么我竞选美国总统。
在这里，罗斯福岛，我相信我们还会继续与命运相会。每个美国人和我们所珍视的国家。.
我参选总统，让我们的经济，为你，为每一个美国人服务。
为了成功者和奋斗者，为了创新者和发明家，为了那些发现打破壁垒的技术和疾病疗法的人，为了整天站立工作的工厂工人和餐饮服务员，为了上夜班的护士，为了开几个小时卡车的司机，为了养活我们的农民，为了保家卫国的退伍军人，为了冒着风险的小企业主，为了那些曾被命运击倒，但拒绝被淘汰的人。
我不是为某些美国人而参选，但是为了所有美国人。
我国面临的挑战并没有开始于大衰退，也不会与恢复一同结束。
几十年来，美国人一直在被强大的潮流所冲刷。
技术进步和全球贸易的兴起创造了几个完整的经济活动新领域，开辟新的出口市场，但他们也导致工作流失和压低数百万美国人的工资。
金融业和许多跨国公司过分集中于短期利润，太少注重长期价值，为小部分人创造了巨大的财富......太多复杂的交易机制和股票回购，太少的为新经济新，就业和公平的补偿的投资。
我们的政治制度因为僵局和功能障碍而陷入瘫痪，大多数美国人已经失去了信心，不相信它能实现任何事。他们已经对政府和大企业改弦易辙的能力失去信心。
现在，我们可以将其一部分，责怪到超出了我们的控制的历史力量，但我们作为一个国家，领导人和公民的选择，也起到了很大的作用。
我们的下一任总统必须与国会，和整个国家的所有其他愿意合作的伙伴一起合作。我会做到这一点 - 力挽狂澜，让历史潮流为我们的服务大于对我们的伤害。
尽我们全力，这就是美国人的方式。我们是解决问题的，而不是抵赖问题的。我们从不逃避变化，我们利用变化。
但是，如果我们回到之前失败了的自上而下的经济政策，我们不能实现成功。
美国人已经走得太偏，目睹我们的进步被剥夺走。
现在，可能共和党总统候选人合唱团在唱一些新曲，但他们都唱同一首老歌......一首名为“昨天”的歌。
你们知道那首的，所有的烦恼好像都摆不脱......我们需要一个地方藏起来......他们相信活在昨天。
你们很幸运我没有也试着唱出来，我实话说！
这些共和党争先恐后为富人保证低税率，为最大的企业保证更少的规范，不考虑这将使收入差距更加雪上加霜。
我们以前听说过这首曲子。而且我们知道它会导致什么。
问问这些候选人气候变化问题，那是我们时代决定性的威胁之一，他们会说：“我不是科学家。”好吧，那么，他们为什么不开始听听那些是科学家的？
他们承诺消灭对华尔街的硬性规定，而不是遏制风险仍很大的银行，这为将来的崩溃倒数计时。这种情况只能被看作是集体失忆症。
他们想剥夺超过1600万美国人的医疗保险，却没有提供任何可靠的替代方案。
他们羞辱和指责女性，而不是尊重我们的权利，让我们为自己的生殖健康做决定。
他们希望把努力工作、照章纳税的移民带入被驱逐出境的危险。
他们对深爱对方的同性恋人不屑一顾。
从根本上说，他们拒绝建设一个包容的经济的前提。那需要一个包容的社会。我曾经称它为“村”，那里有每个人的所在。【书《举全村之力》】
现在，我的价值观和一生的经验给了我一个不同的美国愿景。
我相信成功不是由美国有多少富豪来衡量，而要看有多少孩子摆脱了贫困……
有多少创业公司和小企业开张并蓬勃发展，有多少年轻人去上大学而没有淹没在债务中，有多少人找到一份好工作，多少家庭获得成功，并保持领先地位。我没有从政治学到这个。我从我自己的家庭中学会的。
我母亲告诉我，每个人都需要一个机会，一个拥护者。她知道两者皆无是什么样子。
她的亲生父母抛弃了她，14岁，她自己琢磨出如何生存，打工当保姆。多年以后，当我长大懂事，我问她是什么让她坚持下去。
你知道她的回答是什么？很简单的事情：是对她有信心的旁人的好意。
一年级的老师看见她没有吃午餐，并没有难为她，而是带来了额外的食物来分享。
雇她打扫的女主人，让她去读高中，只要她的工作能做完。这份契约她愉悦的接受了。
而且，因为有些人对她有信心，她对我有信心。
这就是为什么我全心全意地有信心，相信美国和每个美国人的潜力，去迎接每一个挑战，坚韧不拔……不管世界丢给你什么。
去解决最棘手的问题。
我相信我们可以做所有这些事，因为我已经看到成果。
当我还是年轻的女孩，我报名参加了我的卫理公会照看墨西哥农场工人孩子的工作，而他们的父母则在周末下地干活。后来，作为一个法律系学生，我号召国会，为农民工创造更好的工作和生活条件和他们的子女应的有更好机会。
法学院毕业，我的第一份工作是在儿童保护基金会。我挨家挨户去找，看有多少残疾儿童不能上学，并参与帮助起草法律，保障他们受教育的机会。
作为法律服务公司的领导，我捍卫穷人也有辩护律师的权利。看见因为一些虐待的婚姻结束或非法驱逐的停止，所带来的生活改善。
在阿肯色州，我监督在法庭和监狱做代理律师的法律系学生，组织单亲家长上大学的奖学金，带领争取更好学校和医疗保健的努力，结识生活得到了改善的那些人。
作为参议员，我有幸代表在911事件中跑向危险的，勇敢的消防队员、警察、急救人员、建筑工人和志愿者，他们不下火线，让自己落下疾病。
花了多年的努力，但国会最终批准了他们所需要的医疗保健。
有这么多的面孔和故事，我满怀在心。他们付出了最好的自己，同时自己也需要帮助。
就在几个星期前，我遇到了另一位那样的人，一位单亲妈妈，在社区大学和工作之间周旋，同时抚养三个孩子。
她不指望什么能来得容易。但她问我：还有什么可以去做，能让像她那样的家庭不过于困难？
我想成为她的拥护者，你们的拥护者。
如果你们给我机会，我会发动并赢得四场斗争。
首先是使经济为日常美国人服务，而不仅仅是为那些社会顶层的。
使中产阶层再次恢复意义，伴随收入的增加和更广阔的视野。并给予穷人一个机会，让他们以自己的方式工作到中产。
中产阶层需要更多的成长和更多的公平性。成长性和公平性一起。为了持久的繁荣，你不能只有一个而忽略另一个。
在今天的世界，这可能吗？
我相信这可能，否则我就不会站在这里。
我认为这会容易吗？当然不会。
但是，有个好消息：变化的帮手无处不在，他们知道，我们不能袖手旁观，让不平等增加，工资停滞，让美国的诺言变暗。我们应该欢迎想要与我们一起前进的所有美国人的支持。
有公职人员，知道美国人需要一个更好的契约。
有工商界领袖，为员工争取高工资，支持男女同工同酬，反对对LGBT社群的歧视。
有投资界领袖，想要更少的短线交易和更多长期投资。
有工会领袖，投资工会的养老基金，让人们有工作，共创明天的经济。我们需要大家来参与讨论，与我们合作。
在接下来的几周，我会提出具体的政策：
奖励投资于长期的价值，而不是急功近利的企业 - 因为这会导致较高的经济增长，更高的工人工资，是的，更大的利润，每个人都会有受益。
我会重写税法，奖励国内的辛勤工作和投资，而不是奖励快速交易或将利润积攒海外。
我会给那些将利润的公平份额拿出补偿员工辛勤工作的企业，新的激励机制。
我们将通过提供税收减免，减少繁文缛节，使其更容易获得小企业贷款，来释放的新一代企业家和小企业主。
我们将恢复美国创新，占领科学和研究的前沿，通过增加公共和私人的科研投资。
我们将让美国在21世纪成为清洁能源超级大国。
发展可再生能源 - 风能、太阳能、先进生物燃料...
建设更加清洁的电厂，更智能的电网，更绿色的建筑...
使用从化石燃料的开采收取的附加费和特许权使用费，来保护环境......
缓解贫困社区的过渡阶段困难，过渡到一个更加多样化和可持续的经济未来，从产煤乡村到印第安人乡村，从密西西比三角洲的小城镇到奥格兰德河谷再到我们的城市旧中心区，我们必须帮助我们美国同胞们。
现在，这将创造数百万就业机会和无数新的企业，并使美国领导全球应对气候变化的斗争。
我们也将员工连接到他们的工作和企业。客户将有更好的机会来真正得到他们需要的和奢求的，通过将道路，铁路，桥梁，机场，港口和宽带提高到21世纪的全球标准。
我们将建立基础设施银行，并出售债券来支付其中的一些改造项目。
现在，建设明天的经济，还需要投资于我们最重要的资产，我们的人民，从年龄最小的开始。
这就是为什么我建议大家让幼儿园和高质量的保育，提供给美国的每个孩子。
我希望你们能记住这一点，因为对我来说，这绝对是最有说服力的理由，证明为什么我们应该这样做。研究告诉我们，在生命第一个五年的很多早期学习，将如何影响终身的成功。事实上，80％的大脑的是在3岁时开发的。
有一件事我学到的是，潜力是普遍存在的 - 你可以在任何地方找到它 - 但机会却并非如此。我们太多的孩子永远没有机会学习和成长，错过他们应该和我们需要他们达到的。
如果我们不帮助更多的家庭，给他们孩子的生活一个最好的开始，我们的国家就没有竞争力或公平。
因此，让我们给我们的中小学雇佣世界上首屈一指的教师，并让激发每个孩子对学习的热爱的他们，获得应得的尊重。
让我们上得起大学，并提供给所有人机会......减轻学生债务的沉重负担。
我们提供工人终身学习机会，来获得提升经济需要的技能，为更多美国人的成功打基础。
现在，第二场斗争是为了加强美国的家庭，因为当我们的家庭都很强大，美国就强大。
而今天的家庭面临着新的和独特的压力。家长需要更多的支持和灵活性，以做好本职工作，不论是在公司还是在家庭。
我相信你们应该享有带薪病假的权利。
我相信你们应该得到足够早的工作日程安排通知，让你们能安排托儿或参加大学课程，来获得成功。
我相信你们应该有期待退休的信心，而不是焦虑。
你们应该有平和的心态，知道当你们需要它时，医疗保健将在那里，你们不会因病破产。
我相信我们应该提供带薪探亲假，这样没人被迫在保持工作和照顾新的婴儿或患病的亲属之间进行选择。
早已过了结束可憎的工资不均的时间，许多妇女仍然赚得比干同样工作的男人工资少（欢呼声，掌声） - 有色人种妇女往往赚得更少。
这不是一个妇女议题。这是个家庭议题。就像提高最低工资标准是一个家庭议题那样。扩大托儿服务是一个家庭议题。下滑的结婚率是一个家庭议题。监禁的比例不平等是一个家庭议题。帮助更多成瘾或有精神健康问题的人寻求帮助，是一个家庭议题。
在美国，每个家庭都应该有归属感。
因此，我们应该提供勤奋、守法移民家庭获取公民身份的途径。而不是二等公民地位。
而且，我们应该禁止对LGBT美国人和他们的家庭的歧视，使他们只是像其他人一样生活，学习，结婚，工作。
要知道，美国的多样性，我们的开放性，我们对人权和自由的信奉是吸引这么多人来我们海岸的原因。这鼓舞遍布世界各地的人。我知道的，我是亲眼所见。
而这些也是让我们能准备好的特质，来面对比以往任何时候都更加相互关联的世界的需求。
因此，我们有第三个斗争：要利用所有的美国的力量、智慧和价值，以保持我们对和平、安全和繁荣的领导。
地球上没有任何其他国家能够更好地在21世纪蓬勃发展。没有任何其他国家能更好地面对像俄罗斯，朝鲜，伊朗等国家的传统威胁 - 以及处理中国等新兴大国的崛起。
没有任何其他国家更好地准备，来面对新出现的威胁，从网络攻击，跨国恐怖网络，例如ISIS，到跨越海洋和大陆的传播的疾病。
作为你们的总统，我会尽一切努力保持美国的安全。
如果你看我身后，你可以看到新的世界贸易中心在天空翱翔。
作为一个来自纽约的参议员，我全身心地投入到让我们的城市和国家得到恢复所需帮助的努力。而作为军事委员会的成员，我努力保持最训练有素，装备最好，最强的军队，应对今天的和明天的威胁。
而当我们勇敢的男人和女人从战争中完成他们的任务回家，我会去关注，保证他们得到的不只是感恩的民族的感谢，还有他们应得的照顾和福利。
我曾勇敢地面对像普京那样的对手，增强和例如以色列盟友的关系。在我们抓到本·拉登当天，我就在白宫战略室。
但是，我知道 - 我知道我们必须要聪明和坚强。
面对当今全球性挑战，需要美国力量的每一个元素，包括熟练的外交、经济影响力，以及建立伙伴关系，以改善世界各地人们的生活，而不仅仅是他们的政府。
在世界上有很多麻烦的热点地区，但也有很多利好消息。
我相信未来拥有比威胁远远更多的机会，如果我们运用创造性和自信的领导力，使我们能够塑造全球性事件，而不是被它们所左右。
大家都知道，为了在世界上强大，我们首先必须要在国内强大。这就是为什么我们必须要赢得第四场斗争 - 改革我们的政府和振兴我们的民主，使其适用于日常美国人。
我们必须停止秘密的不负责任的流不尽的资金扭曲选举，破坏政治进程，并淹没我们人民的心声。
我们需要的最高法院法官，将会保护每一个公民的投票权，而不是每个公司的选举购买权。
如果有必要，我会支持一项宪法修正案，取消最高法院在联合公民案的判决。
我想让每个公民的投票更加容易。这就是为什么我建议了全民的自动选民注册和扩大提前投票。
我会反击共和党弱化和边缘化年轻人，穷人，残疾人，和有色人种的努力。
民主的哪一部分，让他们害怕？
无论我们让投票多么容易，我们还是得给美国人些值得投票的东西。
政府永远不会知道所有的答案 - 但它必须更聪明，更简单，更高效，成为更好的合作伙伴。
这意味着，获得先进技术，使政府机构可以更有效地服务客户——美国人民。
我们需要的专业知识和来自私营部门的创新，以帮助减少浪费，并简化服务。
在美国有很多好点子。我们面临的每一个问题，都有人在美国某个地方在解决。硅谷很久以前就破解了共享和传播的密码。许多州正在开拓新的方式来提供服务。我想帮助华盛顿来追赶上。
为了做到这一点，我们需要通过产生结果来解决阻挡我们的问题，而不是一个极端的党派纷争和不灵活的政治制度。
现在，我会一直寻求与朋友和对手的共同点。但我必须坚持我的立场时，我会这样做。
这是我做参议员和国务卿时的工作 - 无论是与共和党人合作，以扩大儿童保健，还有国民警卫队，或改善我们的寄养和收养制度，或通过条约，以减少可能威胁到我们的城市的俄罗斯核弹头的数量，这些工作，我当你们的总统时也会一直做。
我们美国人可能会有所不和、斗嘴、失误和跌倒；但当我们互相援救时，当我们互相扶持时，我们在展现最好的一面。
就像任何家庭，我们的美国家庭是最强健的，当我们珍惜所拥有的共同点，并反击那些试图将我们分裂的。
世界各地的人们都问我：“在你们在那次长时间的竞选反目成仇之后，你和奥巴马总统怎么能在一起工作？”
现在，这是一个可以理解的问题，考虑到在世界很多地方，如果你输了选举，你可能被监禁或流放 - 甚至丧命 - 而不是被聘任为国务卿
但是奥巴马总统要求我为国效力，我接受了，因为我们都热爱我们的国家。这就是我们在美国的做事方式。
有了这样的精神，共同努力，我们才能赢得这四场斗争。
我们可以建立辛勤工作得到回报的经济。
我们可以加强我们的家庭。
我们可以保卫我们的国家，并增加我们在世界各地的机会。
我们可以更新我们民主的承诺。
如果我们都尽自己的力量。在我们的家庭，在我们的公司，在工会，在教堂，学校，是的，在投票站。
我希望你能加入我的这个努力。帮助我建立这场竞选，变成你们自己的运动。
告诉你的朋友，你的家人，你的邻居。

那不是个秘密，我们要反对一些非常强大的力量，他们将做出和花费一切来推进一个非常不同的美国愿景。但是，我已经花费一生为儿童，家庭和我们的国家斗争。现在我也不会停止。
你要知道，我清楚这份工作有多难。我已经近距离和私密地领教过了。
我们每位总统去办公室都这么生机勃勃。然后，我们看着他们的头发变得灰白更灰白。
好吧，我可能不是这场大选中最年轻的候选人。但我会成为美国历史上最年轻的女总统！
以及第一位奶奶总统。
有个额外的好处：你不会看到我的头发在白宫变白。好几年来我一直在染发呢！
所以我期待和民主党人、共和党人和无党派人士有场伟大的辩论。我不是只为那些已经赞同我的美国人来竞选总统。我是想为所有美国人来竞选总统。
顺便，我让你们知道这个小秘密。我不可能一直都正确。上帝知道我做过我那份儿错误。嗯，到处不乏指出它们的人！
我当然没有赢得每一场我争取的斗争。但是，领导力意味着毅力和艰难的选择。你必须克服挫折和失望，并坚持下去。
我想你们知道，现在，我已经被被很多人称为很多称号 - “逃兵”是不是其中之一。
就像在我的生活其他如此多的东西，我是从我的母亲学到这一点。
当我小时候，她从来不让我在任何欺凌或困难面前退缩。在她的晚年，妈妈和我们住在一起，她还在教我同样的教训。我从参议院或国务院劳累了一天回家，与她在小桌子坐下来吃早餐，她只是让我把一切都倾述出来。她会提醒我，为什么我们继续斗争，即使在面对渺茫的机会和激烈的反对时。
我仍然能听到她在说：“生活不是发生在你身上的事，而是你面对发生在你身上的事的所作所为 - 所以回去继续努力。”
她活到92岁高龄，而每每想到她见证的上个世纪的斗争过程 - 这一切赢得的进步，是因为美国人拒绝放弃或退缩。
她出生于1919年6月4日 - 在美国妇女拥有投票权以前。但经过多年的奋斗，就在那一天，国会通过了宪法修正案，永远改变那种状况。
美国的故事是一场恶战，来之不易的进步的故事。并一直持续到今天。新的篇章正被男人和女人书写，他们相信我们所有人 - 不仅仅是一些人，但是所有人 - 应该拥有发挥我们天赋潜能的机会。
这不仅是因为我们是一个宽容的国家，或一个慷慨的国家，还是一个富有同情心的国家，也因为我们是一个更好的，更强大，更繁荣的国家，只要我们利用每一个美国人的天赋，勤奋和聪明才智。
我希望我的妈妈能伴随我们更长的时间。我希望她能看到切尔西自己成为一个母亲。我希望她能见到夏洛特。
我希望她能看到我们要共同建设的美国。
在这个美国，如果你做你的部分，你获得的回报。
在这里我们不会让任何人出局，或抛弃任何人。
在这个美国，父亲能告诉女儿：是的，你可以成为你想成成为的一切，甚至是美国总统。
谢谢大家。上帝保佑你们。愿上帝保佑美国。
