dure those forti_year __PUNCT__ our countri ha vote ten_time for presid __PUNCT__

democrat won onli three of those time __PUNCT__

and the man who won two of those elect is with us todai __PUNCT__

we made tremend progress dure the 90 under a democrat_presid __PUNCT__ with a flourish economi __PUNCT__ and our leadership for peac and secur respect around the world __PUNCT__

just think how much more progress we could have made over the past___NUM___year if we had a democrat_presid __PUNCT__

think about the lost opportun of these past seven year __PUNCT__ on the environ and the economi __PUNCT__ on health_care and civil right __PUNCT__ on educ __PUNCT__ foreign_polici and the suprem_court __PUNCT__

imagin how far we could come __PUNCT__ how much we could achiev if we had just had a democrat in the white_hous __PUNCT__

we cannot let thi moment slip awai __PUNCT__

we have come too far and accomplish too much __PUNCT__

now the journei ahead will not be easi __PUNCT__

some will sai we can't do it __PUNCT__

that it too hard __PUNCT__

that we just not up to the task __PUNCT__

but for as long as america ha exist __PUNCT__ it ha been the american wai to reject __PUNCT__ can't do __PUNCT__ claim __PUNCT__ and to choos instead to stretch the boundari of the possibl through hard_work __PUNCT__ determin __PUNCT__ and a pioneer spirit __PUNCT__

it is thi belief __PUNCT__ thi optim __PUNCT__ that senat_obama and i share __PUNCT__ and that ha inspir so mani million of our support to make their voic_heard __PUNCT__

so todai __PUNCT__ i am stand with senat_obama to sai __PUNCT__ ye we can __PUNCT__

togeth we will work __PUNCT__

we have to work_hard to get univers_health_care __PUNCT__

but on the dai we live in an america where no child __PUNCT__ no man __PUNCT__ and no woman is without health_insur __PUNCT__ we will live in a stronger america __PUNCT__

that why we need to help elect barack_obama our presid __PUNCT__

we have to work_hard to get back to fiscal_respons and a strong middl_class __PUNCT__

but on the dai we live in an america whose middl class is thrive and grow again __PUNCT__ where all american __PUNCT__ no matter where thei live or where their ancestor came from __PUNCT__ can earn a decent live __PUNCT__ we will live in a stronger america and that is why we must elect barack_obama our presid __PUNCT__

we have to work_hard to foster the innov that make us energi_independ and lift the threat of global_warm from our children futur __PUNCT__

but on the dai we live in an america fuel by renew_energi __PUNCT__ we will live in a stronger america __PUNCT__

that why we have to help elect barack_obama our presid __PUNCT__

we have to work_hard to bring our troop_home from iraq __PUNCT__ and get them the support thei earn by their servic __PUNCT__

but on the dai we live in an america that as loyal to our troop as thei have been to us __PUNCT__ we will live in a stronger america and that is why we must help elect barack_obama our presid __PUNCT__

thi elect is a turn_point elect and it is critic that we all understand what our choic realli is __PUNCT__

will we go forward togeth or will we stall and slip backward __PUNCT__

think how much progress we have alreadi made __PUNCT__

when we first start __PUNCT__ peopl everywher ask the same_question __PUNCT__ could a woman realli serv as command __PUNCT__ in __PUNCT__ chief __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ i think we answer that on __PUNCT__

and could an african_american realli be our presid __PUNCT__ senat_obama ha answer that on __PUNCT__

togeth senat obama and i achiev mileston essenti to our progress as a nation __PUNCT__ part of our perpetu duti to form a more perfect_union __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ on a person note __PUNCT__ when i wa ask what it mean to be a woman run for presid __PUNCT__ i alwai gave the same answer __PUNCT__ that i wa proud to be run as a woman but i wa run becaus i thought i be the best presid __PUNCT__

but i am a woman __PUNCT__ and like million of women __PUNCT__ i know there ar still barrier and bias out there __PUNCT__ often unconsci __PUNCT__

i want to build an america that respect and embrac the potenti of everi last on of us __PUNCT__

i ran as a daughter who benefit from opportun my mother never dream of __PUNCT__

i ran as a mother who worri about my daughter futur and a mother who want to lead all children to brighter tomorrow __PUNCT__

to build that futur i see __PUNCT__ we must make sure that women and men alik understand the struggl of their grandmoth and mother __PUNCT__ and that women enjoi equal_opportun __PUNCT__ equal pai __PUNCT__ and equal respect __PUNCT__

let us resolv and work toward achiev some veri simpl proposit __PUNCT__ there ar no accept limit and there ar no accept prejudic in the twenti __PUNCT__ first centuri __PUNCT__

you can be so proud that __PUNCT__ from now on __PUNCT__ it will be unremark for a woman to win primari state victori __PUNCT__ unremark to have a woman in a close race to be our nomine __PUNCT__ unremark to think that a woman can be the presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__

and that is truli remark __PUNCT__

to those who ar disappoint that we couldn't go all the wai __PUNCT__ especi the young_peopl who put so much into thi campaign __PUNCT__ it would break my heart if __PUNCT__ in fall_short of my goal __PUNCT__ i in ani wai discourag ani of you from pursu your __PUNCT__

alwai aim high __PUNCT__ work_hard __PUNCT__ and care_deepli about what you believ in __PUNCT__

when you stumbl __PUNCT__ keep faith __PUNCT__

when you knock down __PUNCT__ get right back up __PUNCT__

and never listen to anyon who sai you can't or shouldn't go on __PUNCT__

as we gather here todai in thi histor magnific build __PUNCT__ the __NUM__ woman to leav thi earth is orbit overhead __PUNCT__

if we can blast __NUM___women into space __PUNCT__ we will somedai launch a woman into the white_hous __PUNCT__

although we weren't abl to shatter that highest __PUNCT__ hardest glass_ceil thi time __PUNCT__ thank to you __PUNCT__ it got about __NUM___million crack in it __PUNCT__

and the light is shine through like never befor __PUNCT__ fill us all with the hope and the sure knowledg that the path will be a littl easier next time __PUNCT__

that ha alwai been the histori of progress in america __PUNCT__

think of the suffragist who gather at seneca fall in __NUM__ and those who kept fight until women could cast their vote __PUNCT__

think of the abolitionist who struggl and di to see the end of slaveri __PUNCT__

think of the civil right hero and foot __PUNCT__ soldier who march __PUNCT__ protest and risk their live to bring about the end to segreg and jim_crow __PUNCT__

becaus of them __PUNCT__ i grew up take for grant that women could vote __PUNCT__

becaus of them __PUNCT__ my daughter grew up take for grant that children of all color could go to school togeth __PUNCT__

becaus of them __PUNCT__ barack_obama and i could wage a hard fought campaign for the democrat_nomin __PUNCT__

becaus of them __PUNCT__ and becaus of you __PUNCT__ children todai will grow up take for grant that an african_american or a woman can ye __PUNCT__ becom presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__

when that dai arriv and a woman take the oath of offic as our presid __PUNCT__ we will all stand taller __PUNCT__ proud of the valu of our nation __PUNCT__ proud that everi littl girl can dream and that her dream can come true in america __PUNCT__

and all of you will know that becaus of your passion and hard_work you help pave the wai for that dai __PUNCT__

so i want to sai to my support __PUNCT__ when you hear peopl sai __PUNCT__ or think to yourself __PUNCT__ if onli __PUNCT__ or __PUNCT__ what if __PUNCT__ i sai __PUNCT__ pleas don't go there __PUNCT__

everi moment wast look back keep us from move_forward __PUNCT__

life is too short __PUNCT__ time is too preciou __PUNCT__ and the stake ar too high to dwell on what might have been __PUNCT__

we have to work togeth for what still can be __PUNCT__
