We believe in an honest day's pay for an honest day's work.

We can't afford another President who can't be bothered to stand up for working people.

I do not accept an America where Washington's only message to working people is: 'you're on your own.'

I had an uncle who was one of the -- who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and to liberate the concentration camps.

We should make sure that today's veterans get the same benefit that my grandfather got when he came back from World War II. It was a good investment not only for him but it was a good investment for the country. It builds our middle class.

She has set the standard. She has broken through barriers, and will open up opportunity for a lot of people, including my two young daughters.

On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes, our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.
