Wish they would speak like that all of the time.

When she quoted James Cleveland... "I don't feel no ways tired/I come too far from where I started from/Nobody told me that the road would be easy/I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me." I had goosebumps.

this nation again becomes a country respected by the world.

"You know, Dr. King told us -- Dr. King told us our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. Well, ...

(AND HERE MEDIA BEGINS THEIR CLIP - JUST AS HER VOICE RISES LIKE MLK OFTEN DID - BUT HE HAD A DEEPER VOICE :-) )

I'm here to tell you poverty and growing inequality matters. Health care matters. the people of the Gulf Coast and New Orleans matter. Our soldiers matter. Our standing in the world matters."

(AND HERE THE CLIP ENDS - OR IF A "LIBERAL MEDIA OUTLET" - THEY END IT AT THE WORD "TOMORROW")

Our future matters, and it is up to us to take it back, put it in to our hands, start marching toward a better tomorrow!

meaningful quotes from Hillary's speech:

"The Voting Rights Act gave more Americans from every corner of our nation the chance to live out their dreams. And it is the gift that keeps on giving. Today it is giving Senator Obama the chance to run for president of the United States. And by its logic and spirit, it is giving the same chance to Governor Bill Richardson, an Hispanic, and yes, it is giving me that chance, too."

"My friends, we have a march to finish. I will be reintroducing the Count Every Vote Act, to ensure that every voter is given the opportunity to vote, that every vote is counted, and each voter is given the chance to verify his or her vote before it is cast and made permanent."

He definitely needs to be our next president.
