you alreadi made a choic __PUNCT__ mani of you __PUNCT__ but there still a lot of folk who have yet to cast their ballot __PUNCT__

and thei got a choic between two candid and two parti __PUNCT__ but more importantli __PUNCT__ between two vision of our countri __PUNCT__

it a choic between return to the top __PUNCT__ down polici that crash our economi or a vision of our economi that grow from the middl_class out __PUNCT__ from the bottom up __PUNCT__

we think we stronger when everybodi ha afford health_care __PUNCT__ when everybodi ha medicar and social_secur that thei can count on in their golden year __PUNCT__

we think our market_work better when there ar rule in place to protect our kid from toxic dump or mercuri pollut __PUNCT__ rule to protect_consum from be taken advantag of by an unscrupul credit_card_compani or mortgag lender __PUNCT__

and then there ar some thing we actual think govern shouldn't be involv with __PUNCT__

but don't tell me that hire more great teacher won't help grow thi economi __PUNCT__

of cours it will __PUNCT__

don't tell me that student who can't afford colleg should just borrow_monei from their parent __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

it help our nation_secur __PUNCT__

it help our environ __PUNCT__

but we don't want to just stop innov there __PUNCT__

there ar thousand of worker todai build long __PUNCT__ last batteri and wind_turbin and solar_panel all across the countri __PUNCT__

and i want to make sure __PUNCT__ instead of give subsidi to oil_compani compani_profit __PUNCT__ i want to support the energi job of tomorrow __PUNCT__ the new technolog that will cut our oil import in half __PUNCT__

i want to stop give tax_break to compani that reward __PUNCT__ tax break that reward compani that ar ship job_oversea __PUNCT__

reward compani that ar invest here in america __PUNCT__ in the next gener of manufactur __PUNCT__

that how we grow an economi __PUNCT__

that how we creat_job __PUNCT__

that what i see for colorado __PUNCT__

that what i see for our futur __PUNCT__

chang __PUNCT__ real chang __PUNCT__ is turn the page on a decad of war so we can do some nation __PUNCT__ build here at home __PUNCT__

as long as i am command in chief __PUNCT__ we will pursu our enemi with the strongest militari the world ever known __PUNCT__

but it time to us the save from end two war to pai down our debt __PUNCT__ rebuild america __PUNCT__ repair road and bridg __PUNCT__ make sure our school ar state of the art __PUNCT__ put_peopl back to work right now __PUNCT__ especi our veteran __PUNCT__ becaus anybodi who ha fought for our freedom should not have to fight for a job or a roof over their head or the care that thei need or the benefit thei earn when thei come home __PUNCT__

that how we keep ourselv strong __PUNCT__ by keep our commit to those who sacrific so much __PUNCT__

and that also what at stake in thi elect __PUNCT__

and chang is a futur where we reduc our deficit in a balanc __PUNCT__ respons wai __PUNCT__

i sign a trillion_dollar __PUNCT__ worth of spend_cut __PUNCT__ i intend to do more __PUNCT__

but if we seriou about reduc our deficit __PUNCT__ we can't just cut our wai to prosper __PUNCT__

there ar some thing we need to do to make sure we grow and put_peopl back to work __PUNCT__ and that mean we got to ask the wealthiest american to go back to the tax_rate thei paid when bill_clinton wa in offic __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ the reason is becaus budget ar prioriti __PUNCT__ thei reflect our valu __PUNCT__

i not go to kick a kid off of head_start so i can get a tax_break __PUNCT__

i don't need it __PUNCT__

as long as i presid __PUNCT__ i will not turn medicar into a voucher just to pai for anoth millionair tax_cut __PUNCT__

that not true to who we ar __PUNCT__ and that not how we grow an economi __PUNCT__

so __PUNCT__ colorado __PUNCT__ we know what real chang is __PUNCT__

we know what the futur requir __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ we also know it won't be easi __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ back in __NUM__ we talk about chang __PUNCT__

and i wasn't just talk about chang presid __PUNCT__

i wasn't just talk about chang parti __PUNCT__

i wa talk about chang in how we run our polit __PUNCT__

i ran becaus the voic of the american_peopl __PUNCT__ your voic __PUNCT__ had been shut out of our democraci for wai too long __PUNCT__ by the lobbyist and the special_interest __PUNCT__ the politician who will sai anyth and do anyth just to keep thing the wai thei ar __PUNCT__ the protector of the statu_quo __PUNCT__

the statu quo in washington is fierc __PUNCT__ and it ha fought us everi step of the wai __PUNCT__

thei spent million of dollar to try to stop us from reform health_care __PUNCT__ million of dollar try to stop us from reform wall_street __PUNCT__

thei engin a strategi of gridlock in congress __PUNCT__ refus to compromis even on idea that __PUNCT__ in the past __PUNCT__ both democrat and republican agre on __PUNCT__

that why we got republican oppos to a health_care_plan that start as a republican idea __PUNCT__ implement by a republican_governor __PUNCT__

and what thei count on now is that you go to be so worn down by all the squabbl __PUNCT__ so tire of all the dysfunct __PUNCT__ just fed up __PUNCT__ that you give up and you walk awai and you leav thing the wai thei ar and you put back those folk who have been protect the statu_quo all these year_back into power __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

we not democrat or republican first __PUNCT__ we american first __PUNCT__

and when the other parti ha been will to work with me to make sure that everybodi ha got a shot __PUNCT__ i am right there with them __PUNCT__ like when we cut_tax for middl_class class_famili and small_busi __PUNCT__

or when we came togeth to repeal __PUNCT__ don't ask __PUNCT__ don't tell __PUNCT__ we had courag republican_senat who help __PUNCT__

i will work with anybodi of ani parti to move thi countri forward __PUNCT__

and if you want to break the gridlock in congress __PUNCT__ you vote for leader who feel the same wai __PUNCT__ folk __PUNCT__ whether thei democrat __PUNCT__ republican __PUNCT__ independ __PUNCT__ peopl who put their constitu first __PUNCT__ peopl who put folk who ar out there work_hard __PUNCT__ try to live out their american_dream __PUNCT__ put them first __PUNCT__

but sometim there is go to be conflict __PUNCT__

sometim bring about chang is go to butt up against the statu_quo __PUNCT__

and we got to be will to fight for what we believ in and what we care about and what ha built thi countri __PUNCT__

if the price of peac in washington is cut deal that will kick student off of financi_aid or get rid of fund for plan_parenthood or let insur_compani discrimin against peopl with preexist condit or elimin health_care for million who ar on medicaid who ar poor or elderli or disabl __PUNCT__ i not will to pai that price __PUNCT__

that not bipartisanship __PUNCT__

that not real chang __PUNCT__

that surrend to the same forc that have squeez middl_class class_famili for wai too long __PUNCT__

and i not readi to give up on the fight __PUNCT__

and __PUNCT__ colorado __PUNCT__ i hope you aren't either __PUNCT__

see __PUNCT__ the folk at the veri top in thi countri don't need anoth champion in washington __PUNCT__

thei alwai have a seat at the tabl __PUNCT__

thei alwai have access __PUNCT__

thei alwai have influenc __PUNCT__

the autowork who thought he never be back on that assembl_line __PUNCT__ and now with pride and digniti __PUNCT__ he build a great car __PUNCT__ he need a champion __PUNCT__
