Senator Hillary Clinton's address at 2004 Democratic National Convention
7月26日傍晚，美国民主党全国代表大会在波士顿正式开幕。大会会场所在地——波士顿富里特中心一直是NBA老牌劲旅波士顿凯尔特人队的主场，现在成为了欢乐的海洋，成为了全美民主党人2004年总统大选的誓师会场，4353名民主党政要会聚一堂，正式提名克里和爱德华兹为民主党总统和副总统候选人，发动“倒布”总攻。当晚最精彩的一幕，是前总统克林顿和夫人希拉里的压轴演讲。
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 洛基国际英语

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.“成千上万人疯狂下载。。。

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 洛基国际英语

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: 洛基国际英语

· 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? First by taking the monthly surplus in Social Security payments and endorsing the checks of working people over to me to 洛基国际英语

cover my tax cut.But it's not enough.They are borrowing the rest from foreign governments, mostly Japan and China.Sure, they're competing with us for good jobs but how can we enforce our trade laws against our bankers? 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 洛基国际英语

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 洛基国际英语

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.“成千上万人疯狂下载。。。

第五篇：2004年民主党全国代表大会主题演讲
奥巴马
2004年民主党全国代表大会主题演讲 谢谢你，德宾。你让我们所有的骄傲。
代表伊利诺伊州的伟大国家，一个民族的十字路口，林肯土地，让我表达我最深切的感谢为解决这一公约的特权。
今晚对我来说是特别荣幸，因为让我们面对它，我在这个舞台上的存在是相当不可能的。我的父亲是一个外国学生，在肯尼亚的一个小村庄出生和长大。他从小放牧山羊，在锡屋顶的窝棚去上学。他的父亲，我的祖父是一个厨师，一个佣人英国。
但我的祖父为他的儿子更大的梦想。经过艰苦的努力和毅力，我的父亲得到了一个神奇的地方，美国，作为一个自由和机会，许多人来之前的灯塔照耀一门学问来研究。虽然在这里学习，我的父亲遇到了我的母亲。她出生在一个小镇，在世界的另一端，在堪萨斯州。她的父亲从事石油钻井平台和农场，通过大萧条。珍珠港后的第二天，我的祖父签署了责任;加入巴顿将军的军队，整个欧洲的游行。
回到家里，我的祖母提出了一个婴儿，并在轰炸机装配线上班去了。战争结束后，他们研究的G.I.条例草案“，通过FHA的买了一套房子，后来搬到西一路在寻找机会到夏威夷。，他们也为他们的女儿大梦想。一个共同的梦想，两个大陆出生。
我的父母共享不仅是不可能的爱，他们共享一个坚定的信念在本民族的可能性。他们会给我一个非洲名字，巴拉克，或“祝福”，相信，在一个宽容的美国，你的名字是没有成功的障碍。他们想象我在土地上最好的学校，即使他们并不富裕，因为在一个大手笔
没有美国你要丰富，以实现你的潜力。他们都去世。然而，我知道，在这个夜晚，他们看不起我感到非常自豪。
而我今天站在这里，感谢我的遗产的多样性，知道我父母的梦想就住在我的两个宝贵的女儿。站在这里，我知道我的故事是较大的美国故事的一部分，我欠了债，所有那些在我之前来到，并认为，在地球上没有其他国家，甚至是我的故事可能。
今晚，我们聚集在肯定了我们民族的伟大六个两个，六三，清晰的眼睛一个轻松的笑容。他告诉我，他加入了海军陆战队前往伊拉克接下来的一周。我听了向他解释为什么他入伍，绝对的信心，他在我们的国家及其领导人，他的献身精神，责任和服务，我认为这个年轻人，我们可能永远希望孩子。
但后来我问自己，“是我们服务夏姆斯，以及他是我们服务吗？”
我想到了900名男子和妇女的儿子和女儿，丈夫和妻子，朋友和邻居，谁也不会回到自己的家乡。我想到了我见过的家庭都在努力得到心爱的人的全部收入的情况下，或者其亲人缺少的肢体或神经破灭返回的，但仍缺乏长期的健康的好处，因为他们预备役。
当我们伤害的方式发送到我们的青年男女，我们有一个庄严义务，不捏造的数字或遮阳为什么他们要去，照顾他们的家人，而他们走了的真理，往往后兵他们的回报，永远没有足够的部队赢得战争，战争，安全的和平，并获得了世界的尊重。
现在，我要明确。让我清楚。我们已在世界上真正的敌人。必须找到这些敌人。他们必须继续下去。他们必须被打败。克里知道这一点。中将克里就像毫不犹豫风险自己的生命保护的人与他在越南服役，总统克里不会犹豫使用我们的军事力量，以保持美国安全和可靠的时刻之一。
克里认为，在美国。他知道，它是不够的，只是我们中的一些蓬勃发展;，与我们的著名的个人主义在美国的传奇，我们都连接为一个人的信念，还有另一种成分。如果有一个孩子在芝加哥南侧，谁也看不懂，那我事项，即使它不是我的孩子。如果有一个敬老的地方谁可以不支付他们的处方药，医药和租金之间的选择，这使得我的生活较贫困，即使这不是我的祖父母或外祖父母。如果有一个阿拉伯裔美国人的家庭，在没有律师或正当程序，威胁我公民自由四舍五入。
这是基本的信念：我是我弟弟的门将，我妹妹的门将，使得这个国家的工作。这是什么使我们能够追求我们个人的梦想，但仍是一个美国家庭一起。Ë pluribus UNUM：“超出许多，一。”
现在，即使我们说话，还有那些正准备分裂我们的军师，拥抱“任何政治的负面广告贩子。”好吧，我对他们说：今晚，是不是一个自由主义的美国和一个保守的美国：美利坚合众国。没有一个黑色美国和一个美国白人和拉美裔美国和亚洲地区：美利坚合众国。
学者，学者喜欢切片和骰子到红国和蓝国的我国，红色，蓝色为民主党共和党。但我有他们的消息，太。我们崇拜在蓝国的“可畏的神”，和我们不一样戳在我们的图书馆在红国的联邦特工。我们的教练在蓝国少棒，是的，我们已经有了一些同性恋朋友在红国。有爱国者反对伊拉克战争，有爱国者支持伊拉克战争。我们是一家人，我们宣誓效忠星条旗，我们都捍卫美利坚合众国。
最后，这就是这次选举。我们参与政治犬儒主义还是我们希望政治参与吗？
克里呼吁对我们的希望。爱德华兹对我们的希望。
我不是说盲目乐观，在这里几乎是故意的无知，认为失业率将消失，如果我们只是不想想，或保健危机的解决，如果我们忽略它。这不是我在说什么。我说的是一些较大幅度的。这是希望的奴隶坐在周围唱自由歌曲的消防;遥远的海岸的移民的希望，勇敢地巡逻湄公河三角洲的一个年轻的海军中尉的希望;希望一个millworker的儿子谁胆敢以身试法的几率;一个骨瘦如柴的孩子一个有趣的名字，他认为，美国已经为他的地方，也希望。
希望在面对困难。希望在面对不确定性。无畏的希望！
最后，这是神给我们的最大的礼物，这个民族的基石。信仰的东西没见过。一个信念，即有更好的日子。
我相信我们可以给我们的中产阶级救济和工薪家庭提供了一个机会之路。
我相信我们可以提供就业机会，失业，家庭无家可归者，并回收在美国各地的城市暴力和绝望的年轻人。
我相信，我们已经在我们的备份和正义的风，因为我们站在历史的十字路口上，我们可以做出正确的选择，并满足我们所面临的挑战。
美！今晚，如果你觉得我做相同的能量，如果你觉得我做同样的紧迫性，如果你觉得我做同样的热情，如果你觉得相同的希望，怎么做，如果我们做我们必须做什么，然后我毫不怀疑，在全国各地，从佛罗里达州到俄勒冈州，从华盛顿到缅因州，人民的意志上升十一月，和克里将宣誓就任总统，爱德华兹将在副总统宣誓就职，并这个国家将收回其承诺，这漫长的政治黑暗，更美好的一天终究会到来。
非常感谢大家。上帝保佑你。谢谢。
