we were thrill thi weekend when a great_american statesman __PUNCT__ gener colin_powel __PUNCT__ join our caus __PUNCT__

but we cannot let up __PUNCT__

and we won't __PUNCT__

becaus on thing we know is that chang never come without a fight __PUNCT__

in the final_dai of campaign __PUNCT__ the sai __PUNCT__ anyth __PUNCT__ do __PUNCT__ anyth polit too often take over __PUNCT__

we seen it befor __PUNCT__

and we see it again todai __PUNCT__

the ugli phone_call __PUNCT__

the mislead mail and tv_ad __PUNCT__

the careless __PUNCT__ outrag comment __PUNCT__

all aim at keep us from work togeth __PUNCT__ all aim at stop chang __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ what we need now is not mislead charg and divis attack __PUNCT__

what we need is honest leadership and real chang __PUNCT__ and that why i run for presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ more than ever __PUNCT__ thi campaign ha to be about the problem_face the american_peopl __PUNCT__ becaus thi is a moment of great uncertainti for america __PUNCT__

we face the worst econom_crisi sinc the great_depress __PUNCT__

the dow plummet again yesterdai __PUNCT__ threaten the job_secur __PUNCT__ retir secur __PUNCT__ and econom_secur of million of ordinari_american __PUNCT__

indiana lost___NUM__ manufactur_job in __DATE__ alon __PUNCT__

and just todai __PUNCT__ we learn that more and more american ar file for unemploy __PUNCT__

home valu ar fall __PUNCT__

foreclosur ar rise __PUNCT__

wage ar shrink __PUNCT__

and the cost of health_care and colleg_tuition ha never been higher __PUNCT__

and that what thi elect is all about __PUNCT__ becaus john_mccain and i have real differ about how to get us out of thi econom mess __PUNCT__

you see __PUNCT__ senat_mccain think the econom_polici of georg w __PUNCT__ bush ar just right for america __PUNCT__

in the senat __PUNCT__ he vote with georg_bush bush___NUM__ percent of the time __PUNCT__

said earlier thi year that we made __PUNCT__ great progress __PUNCT__ over the last eight year __PUNCT__

and while senat_mccain sai now that he differ from presid_bush __PUNCT__ you sure couldn't tell by the polici he propos __PUNCT__

just yesterdai __PUNCT__ senat_mccain strongli defend the bush_polici of lavish tax_cut on corpor that ship american_job job_oversea __PUNCT__

he made the peculiar argument that the best wai to stop compani from ship job oversea is to give more tax_cut to compani that ship job_oversea __PUNCT__

more tax_cut for job outsourc __PUNCT__

that what senat_mccain propos as hi answer to outsourc __PUNCT__

he said that __PUNCT__ quot __PUNCT__ simpl fundament econom __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ indiana __PUNCT__ my oppon mai call that __PUNCT__ fundament econom __PUNCT__ but we know that just anoth name for the wall_street first __PUNCT__ main_street last econom philosophi we had for the past eight year __PUNCT__ and that fundament wrong __PUNCT__

if senat_mccain want to defend tax_break for compani that ship job_oversea __PUNCT__ that hi choic __PUNCT__

but i sai __PUNCT__ let end tax_cut for compani that ship american_job job_oversea __PUNCT__ and give them to compani that creat good_job right here in indiana __PUNCT__ in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

if he want to defend free_trade_agreement design to protect the profit of multin_corpor and a trade_polici that let countri like china tilt the plai_field against our worker __PUNCT__ that up to him __PUNCT__

but i sai __PUNCT__ we need a trade_polici that protect the dream of hardwork american __PUNCT__

if he want to defend a tax_code that more than __NUM__ page_long and fill with loophol written in by corpor_lobbyist like the on run hi campaign __PUNCT__ he got everi right __PUNCT__

he ha everi right to defend offshor tax_haven that let compani avoid pai_tax here in america __PUNCT__

but i sai __PUNCT__ it time to close corpor loophol __PUNCT__ shut offshor tax_haven __PUNCT__ and restor balanc and fair to our tax_code __PUNCT__

by the wai __PUNCT__ did you know that there a build in the cayman island that supposedli hous __NUM__ corpor __PUNCT__

that either the biggest build or the biggest tax scam on record __PUNCT__

and i think we know which on it is __PUNCT__

that the system my oppon defend __PUNCT__

that the system he want to preserv __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ indiana __PUNCT__ we tri it john_mccain wai __PUNCT__

we tri it georg_bush wai __PUNCT__

and we here todai to sai enough is enough __PUNCT__

we can't afford four more year of their __PUNCT__ fundament econom __PUNCT__

that why i run for presid of the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

you see __PUNCT__ i have a differ notion of fundament econom than my oppon __PUNCT__

becaus where i come from __PUNCT__ there noth more fundament than a good __PUNCT__ pai_job __PUNCT__

there noth more fundament than be abl to pai your health_care_bill __PUNCT__ put your kid through colleg __PUNCT__ or retir with digniti and secur __PUNCT__

there noth more fundament than the american_dream __PUNCT__ and that the dream we can reclaim if you stand with me on __DATE__ __PUNCT__

i know we can do thi __PUNCT__

i know we can steer ourselv out of thi crisi __PUNCT__

becaus i believ in you __PUNCT__

i believ in the american_peopl __PUNCT__

we ar the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

we ar a nation that face down war and depress __PUNCT__ great_challeng and great threat __PUNCT__

and at each and everi moment __PUNCT__ we have risen to meet these challeng __PUNCT__ not as democrat __PUNCT__ not as republican __PUNCT__ but as american __PUNCT__

with resolv __PUNCT__

with confid __PUNCT__

with that fundament belief that here in america __PUNCT__ our destini is not written for us __PUNCT__ it written by us __PUNCT__

that who we ar __PUNCT__ and that the countri we need to be right now __PUNCT__

but indiana __PUNCT__ i know thi __PUNCT__

it will take a new direct __PUNCT__

it will take new leadership in washington __PUNCT__

it will take a real chang in the polici and polit of the last eight year __PUNCT__

and that why i run for presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__

it time to turn the page on eight year of econom_polici that put wall_street befor main_street but end up hurt both __PUNCT__

we need polici that grow our economi from the bottom __PUNCT__ up __PUNCT__ so that everi american __PUNCT__ everywher __PUNCT__ ha the chanc to get ahead __PUNCT__

not just the person who own the factori __PUNCT__ but the men and women who work on it floor __PUNCT__

becaus if we learn anyth from thi econom_crisi __PUNCT__ it that we all connect __PUNCT__ we all in thi togeth __PUNCT__ and we will rise or fall as on nation __PUNCT__ as on peopl __PUNCT__

the rescu plan that pass the congress wa a necessari first step to eas thi credit crisi __PUNCT__ but if we go to rebuild thi economi from the bottom up __PUNCT__ we need an immedi rescu plan for the middl __PUNCT__ class __PUNCT__ and that what i will do as presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__

nine month_ago __PUNCT__ i call for a stimulu_plan to provid immedi relief for state __PUNCT__ along with tax rebat to get monei directli to middl_class class_famili and a foreclosur prevent fund to help peopl keep their home __PUNCT__

senat_mccain advisor openli mock the stimulu_plan befor congress __PUNCT__ on refer to it __PUNCT__ and i quot __PUNCT__ as __PUNCT__ borrow_monei from the chines and drop it from helicopt __PUNCT__

anoth dismiss it as __PUNCT__ junk __PUNCT__

just thi week __PUNCT__ after nine straight month of job_loss __PUNCT__ when our feder_reserv chairman support anoth stimulu to get our economi move __PUNCT__ senat_mccain said he doesn't think we need to pass thi stimulu immedi __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ the work_famili who been hard hit by thi econom_crisi __PUNCT__ folk who can't pai their mortgag or their medic_bill or send their kid to colleg __PUNCT__ thei can't afford to go to the back of the line behind ceo and wall_street_bank __PUNCT__

thei need help right here __PUNCT__ right now __PUNCT__ and that why i run for presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__

i propos a new american_job tax_credit for each new employe that compani hire here in the unit_state over the next two year __PUNCT__

and i help make sure the fuel __PUNCT__ effici car of tomorrow ar built not just in south_korea or japan __PUNCT__ but right here in indiana __PUNCT__

few have been harder hit by our credit crisi than the worker who make our car and the compani that suppli their part __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ when it came to rescu wall_street __PUNCT__ washington didn't wast a minut __PUNCT__

but now that auto __PUNCT__ worker ar suffer __PUNCT__ washington put on the break __PUNCT__

it turn out it could take a year for the auto_industri to get the loan_guarante we pass a few week_ago __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ the worker who ar be laid off and the compani that ar see their sale drop __PUNCT__ thei can't afford to wait a year __PUNCT__ thei need help right now __PUNCT__

that why i call on washington to fast __PUNCT__ track those loan_guarante and provid more as need __PUNCT__ becaus that how we secur our auto job and save our auto_industri __PUNCT__

i also help small_busi by elimin capit_gain gain_tax and give them emerg loan to keep their door_open and hire_worker __PUNCT__

i put a three __PUNCT__ month moratorium on foreclosur so that we can give homeown the breath room thei need to get back on their feet __PUNCT__

and i will creat a job and growth fund to help state and local_govern save on million_job and pai for health_care and educ without have to rais your tax __PUNCT__

these ar the step that we must take __PUNCT__ right now __PUNCT__ to start get our economi back on track __PUNCT__

but we also need a new set of prioriti to grow our economi and creat_job over the long __PUNCT__ term __PUNCT__

it start with tax_relief __PUNCT__

there been a lot of talk about tax in thi campaign __PUNCT__

and the truth is __PUNCT__ my oppon and i ar both propos tax_cut __PUNCT__

the differ is __PUNCT__ he want to give a __MONEY__ tax cut to the averag fortun___NUM__ ceo __PUNCT__

i want to put a middl_class tax_cut in the pocket of __NUM__ __PUNCT__ of worker and their famili __PUNCT__

my oppon doesn't want you to know thi __PUNCT__ but under my plan __PUNCT__ tax_rate for middl_class class_famili will actual be less than thei were under ronald_reagan __PUNCT__

it true that i want to roll_back the bush_tax_cut on the wealthiest american and go back to the rate thei paid under bill_clinton __PUNCT__

john_mccain call that social __PUNCT__

what he forget is that just a few year_ago __PUNCT__ he himself said those bush_tax_cut were irrespons __PUNCT__

he said he couldn't __PUNCT__ in good conscienc __PUNCT__ support a tax cut where the benefit went to the wealthi at the expens of __PUNCT__ middl_class class_american who most need tax_relief __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ he wa right then __PUNCT__ and i am right now __PUNCT__

let me be crystal clear __PUNCT__ if you make less than a quarter of a million_dollar a year __PUNCT__ which includ___NUM__ __PUNCT__ of small_busi busi_owner __PUNCT__ you won't see your tax_increas on singl dime __PUNCT__

not your payrol_tax __PUNCT__ not your incom_tax __PUNCT__ not your capit_gain gain_tax __PUNCT__ noth __PUNCT__

that is my commit to you __PUNCT__

for the last eight year __PUNCT__ we given more and more to those with the most and hope that prosper would trickl down to everyon els __PUNCT__

and guess what __PUNCT__ it didn't __PUNCT__

so it time to try someth new __PUNCT__

it time to grow thi economi from the bottom __PUNCT__ up __PUNCT__

it time to invest in the middl __PUNCT__ class again __PUNCT__

if i am presid __PUNCT__ i will invest __MONEY___billion a year in renew_sourc of energi to creat five million new __PUNCT__ green_job over the next decad __PUNCT__ job that pai well and can't be outsourc __PUNCT__ job build solar_panel and wind_turbin and fuel __PUNCT__ effici car __PUNCT__ job that will help us end our depend on oil from middl_east dictat __PUNCT__

i also put two million more american to work rebuild our crumbl road __PUNCT__ school __PUNCT__ and bridg __PUNCT__ becaus it is time to build an american infrastructur for the __NUM___centuri __PUNCT__

and if peopl ask how we go to pai for thi __PUNCT__ you tell them that if we can spend___MONEY___billion a month in iraq __PUNCT__ we can spend some monei to rebuild america __PUNCT__

if i am presid __PUNCT__ i will final fix the problem in our health_care_system that we been talk about for too long __PUNCT__

thi issu is person for me __PUNCT__

my mother di of ovarian cancer at the ag of __NUM__ and i never forget how she spent the final month of her life ly in a hospit bed __PUNCT__ fight with her insur_compani becaus thei claim that her cancer wa a pre __PUNCT__ exist condit and didn't want to pai for treatment __PUNCT__

if i am presid __PUNCT__ i will make sure those insur compani can never do that again __PUNCT__

my health_care_plan will make sure insur_compani can't discrimin against those who ar sick and need care most __PUNCT__

if you have health_insur __PUNCT__ the onli thing that will chang under my plan is that we will lower premium __PUNCT__

if you don't have health insur __PUNCT__ you be abl to get the same_kind of health_insur that member of congress get for themselv __PUNCT__

and we invest in prevent_care and new technolog to final lower the cost of health_care for famili __PUNCT__ busi __PUNCT__ and the entir economi __PUNCT__

that the chang we need __PUNCT__

and if i presid __PUNCT__ we give everi child __PUNCT__ everywher the skill and the knowledg thei need to compet with ani worker __PUNCT__ anywher in the world __PUNCT__

i will not allow countri to out __PUNCT__ teach us todai so thei can out __PUNCT__ compet us tomorrow __PUNCT__

it is time to provid everi american with a world __PUNCT__ class educ __PUNCT__

that mean invest in earli_childhood childhood_educ __PUNCT__

that mean recruit an armi of new teacher __PUNCT__ and pai them better __PUNCT__ and give them more support in exchang for higher_standard and more account __PUNCT__

and it mean invest in agricultur educ __PUNCT__

from see all those blue corduroi jacket in the crowd __PUNCT__ i know there a futur farmer of america convent here in indianapoli __PUNCT__

and i want you to know that if i elect_presid __PUNCT__ i will fight for you __PUNCT__ becaus america farmer ar america_futur __PUNCT__

and it time we had a presid who understood that __PUNCT__

we need to make sure everi american who ha the drive and the will but not the monei can go to colleg __PUNCT__

my oppon top econom advisor actual said that thei have no plan to invest in colleg afford becaus we can't have a giveawai to everi special_interest __PUNCT__

well i don't think the young_peopl of america ar a special_interest __PUNCT__ thei ar the futur of thi countri __PUNCT__

that why i make thi deal with you __PUNCT__ if you commit to serv your commun or your countri __PUNCT__ we will make sure you can afford your tuition __PUNCT__

no if __PUNCT__ and or but __PUNCT__

you invest in america __PUNCT__ america will invest in you __PUNCT__ and togeth __PUNCT__ we will move thi countri forward __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ make no mistak __PUNCT__ the chang we need won't come easi or without cost __PUNCT__

we will all need to tighten our belt __PUNCT__ we will all need to sacrific and we will all need to pull our weight becaus now more than ever __PUNCT__ we ar all in thi togeth __PUNCT__

at a defin moment like thi __PUNCT__ we don't have the luxuri of reli on the same polit game and the same polit tactic that ar us everi elect to divid us from on anoth and make us afraid of on anoth __PUNCT__

with the challeng and crise we face right now __PUNCT__ we cannot afford to divid thi countri by class or region __PUNCT__ by who we ar or what polici we support __PUNCT__

there ar no real or fake part of thi countri __PUNCT__

we ar not separ by the pro __PUNCT__ america and anti __PUNCT__ america part of thi nation __PUNCT__ we all love thi countri __PUNCT__ no matter where we live or where we come from __PUNCT__

there ar patriot who support thi war in iraq and patriot who oppos it __PUNCT__ patriot who believ in democrat polici and those who believ in republican polici __PUNCT__

the men and women from indiana and all across america who serv on our battlefield mai be democrat and republican and independ __PUNCT__ but thei have fought togeth and bled togeth and some di togeth under the same proud flag __PUNCT__

thei have not serv a red america or a blue america __PUNCT__ thei have serv the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

we have alwai been at our best when we had leadership that call us to look past our differ and come togeth as on nation __PUNCT__ as on peopl __PUNCT__ leadership that ralli thi entir countri to a common_purpos __PUNCT__ to a higher purpos __PUNCT__

and i am run for presid of the unit_state of america becaus that is the countri we need to be right now __PUNCT__

thi countri and the dream it repres ar be test in a wai that we haven't seen in nearli a centuri __PUNCT__

and futur_gener will judg our by how we respond to thi test __PUNCT__

will thei sai that thi wa a time when america lost it wai and it purpos __PUNCT__ when we allow the same divis and fear tactic and our own petti differ to plung thi countri into a dark and pain recess __PUNCT__

or will thei sai that thi wa anoth on of those moment when america overcam __PUNCT__ when we battl back from advers by recogn that common stake that we have in each other success __PUNCT__

thi is on of those moment __PUNCT__

i realiz you cynic and fed up with polit __PUNCT__

i understand that you disappoint and even angri with your leader __PUNCT__

you have everi right to be __PUNCT__

but despit all of thi __PUNCT__ i ask of you what been ask of the american_peopl in time of trial and turmoil throughout our histori __PUNCT__

i ask you to believ __PUNCT__ to believ in yourselv __PUNCT__ in each other __PUNCT__ and in the futur we can build togeth __PUNCT__

togeth __PUNCT__ we cannot fail __PUNCT__

not now __PUNCT__

not when there ar so mani american without job and without home __PUNCT__

not when there ar famili who can't afford to see a doctor __PUNCT__ or send their child to colleg __PUNCT__ or pai their bill at the end of the month __PUNCT__

not when there is a gener that is count on us to give them the same opportun and the same chanc that we had for ourselv __PUNCT__
