grandchildren. this is election is about ending the 40-year decline of our middle class. the reality that 47 million men women and children today live in poverty. it is about understanding that if we do not transform our economy, our younger generation will likely have a lower standard of living than they parents. this election is about ending the grotesque end level of income and wealth in america today!

it is not moral: it is not acceptable. and it is not sustainerrable, that the top 1/10th of 1%, now owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90%. or that the top 1% in recent years has earned 85% of all new income. that is unacceptable. that must change. this election is about remembering where we were seven and a half years, ago when president obama came into office

after eight years of republican trickle-down economics. the republicans want us to forget that as a result of the greed recklessness and illegal behavior on wall street, our economy was in the worst economic downturn since the great depression. that's where we were. that is where we were. some 800,000 people a month are losing their jobs. 800,000 people. we were running up a record- breaking deficit of $1.4 trillion. and by the way, the world's financial system was on the verge of collapse. that's where we were when president obama came into office well, we have come a long way in

the last seven and a half years and i thank president obama and vice president biden. [ applause ] i thank them for their leadership in pulling us out of of that terrible recession. yes, we have made progress. but i think we can all agree that much, much more needs to be done. this election is about which candidate understands the real problems facing this country and has offered real solutions.

not just fear among ling, not just name-calling and divisive ness. we need leadership in this country, which will improve the lives of working families, the children, the elderly, the sick, and the poor. we need leadership which brings our people together and makes us stronger. fz not leadership which insults latinos and mexicans and insults muslims and women african-americans and veterans and seeks to divide us up. by these measures, any objective

observer will conclude that based on her ideas and her leadership, hillary clinton must become the next president of the united states. [ applause ] ent the choice -- this election -- this election --

this election is about a single mother, a single mom i saw in nevada, who, with tears in her eyes, told me she was scared to death about the future because she and her daughter were not making it on the $10.45 an hour she was earning. this election is act that woman and the millions of other workers in this country who are struggling to survive on totally inadequate wages. hillary clinton understands that if someone in this country works 40 hours a week, that person should not be living in poverty.

she understands that we must raise the minimum wage to a living wage. and she is determined to create millions of new jobs by rebuilding our fumbling infrastructure, our world's bridges, water systems and wastewater plants. what her opponent donald trump he has a very different point of view. he does not support raising the federal minimum wage of 7.25 an hour, a starvation wage. while trump believes in huge tax

breaks, huge tax breaks for billionaires, he believes that states should actually have the right to lower the minimum wage below 7.25. (crowd booing). brothers and sisters, this election is about overturning citizens united. [cheering] citizen united is one of the worst supreme court decisions in the history of our country. that decision allows the wealthiest people in america like the billionaire, cope koch

brothers who spend hundreds of millions of dollars, buying elections and in the process, undermine american democracy. hillary clinton will nominate justices to the supreme court who are prepared to overturn citizens united. and end the movement toward oligarchy that we are seeing in this country. her supreme court appointments will also defend a woman's right to choose.

, workers' rights, the rights of the lgbt community the the needs of minorities and illegal immigrants and the government's ability to protect our environment. ed if you don't believe in this election if you think you can sit it out, take a moment to think about the supreme court justices that donald trump would nominate. and what that would mean to civil liberties, equal rights and the future of our country. can this election is about the thousands of young people i have met all over this country

. the thousands that i have met who left college deeply in debt and tragically the many others who cannot afford to go to college. during the primary campaign, secretary clinton and i both focused on this issue but with somewhat different approaches. recently, however, we have come together on a proposal that will revolution eyes higher education in america. it will guarantee -- guarantee -- that the children of any family in this country

with an annual income of $125,000 a year or less, 83% of our population, will be able to go to a public college or university to tuition free! [cheering] that proposal also substantial ly reduces student debt. >> this election is about climate change, the great environmental crises facing our planet. and the need to lead this world in a way that is healthy and habitable for our children and

future generations. hillary clinton is listening to the scientists who tell us that, unless we act boldly to transform our energy system in the very near future, there will be more drought, more floods, more acidification of the sea levels and she understands that we can create hundreds of thousands of jobs, transforming our energy system. [ applause ] donald trump -- well, like most republicans, he chooses to reject science. (crowd bhoos). he believes that climate change

is a hoax, no need to address it hillary clinton understands that a president's job is to worry about future generations not the profit profits of the fossil fuel industry! [cheering] this campaign is about moving the united states toward universal health care. and reducing the number of people who are uninsured or under insured. hillary clinton wants to seep that all americans have the right to choose a public option in their health care exchange. she believes that anyone 55 or older should be able to opt in to medicare.

and she wants to see millions more americans gain access to primary health care dental health care, low cost prescription drugs a major expansion of community health centers. and what is donald trump's position on health care? well no surprise there same old, same old republican contempt for working families. he wants to abolish the affordable care act throw 20 million people off of health֍ lower. hillary clinton also understands that millions of seniors disabled vets andn and the fact that americans pay the highest prices in the world

for the medicines we use. she knows that medicare must negotiate drug prices with the pharmaceutical industry. ementz and that drug companies should not be making billions in profit when one out of five americans are unable to afford the medicine they need. the greed of the drug companies must end. this election is about the leadership that we need to pass comprehension itch immigration reform and repair a broken criminal justice system. it's about making sure that

young people in this country are in good schools and in good jobs not rotting in jail cells. hillary clinton understands that we have to invest in education and jobs for our young people, not more jailsz or incarceration in these stressful times of our country, the sleksz must be about bringing our people together, not dividing us up. while donald trump is busy insulting one group after another, hillary clinton understands that our diversity is one of our greatest strengths

yes, we become stronger when blacks and whites, latino, asian american whites, when all of us stand together! yes, we become stronger when men and women, young and old guy and straight, native born and grintd, fight together to create the kind of country we all know we can become. the it is no secret that hillary clinton and i disagree on a númber of issues. that is what this campaign has been about. that is what democracy is about.

he so i'm happy to tell you at the democratic committee there was a significant coming together between the two campaigns and we produced by far the most progressive platform in the history of the democratic party. among many many other strong provisions, the democratic party now calls for breaking up the major financial institutions on wall street. and the passage of a 21st century act.

and it calls for strong opposition to job-killing trade agreements. our job -- we have got to make sure that gtp does not get to the floor of the congress in the lake dumb session. cleur of >> doctor our job now is to see that strong democratic platform implemented by a democratic- controlled senate

by a democratic house and a hillary clinton presidency. and i am going to do all that i can to make that happen. i have known hillary clinton for 25 years. i remember her as you could do, as a great first lady who broke precedent in terms of the role that a first lady was supposed to play as she helped lead the fight to universal health care. i served with her in the united states senate and know her as a

fierce advocate for the rights of children, for women and for the kiss disabled. hillary clinton will make an outstanding president, and i am proud to stand with her tonight. thank you all very much.
