　　She doesnamp。39。t expect anything to e easy. But she did ask me: What more can be done so itisnamp。39。t quite so hard for families like hers?
　　I want to be her champion and your champion.
　　If youamp。39。ll give me the chance, Iamp。39。ll wage and win Four Fights for you.
　　The first is to make the economy work for everyday Americans, not just those at the top.
　　To make the middle class mean something again, with rising ines and broader to give the poor a chance to work their way into it.
　　The middle class needs more growth and more fairness. Growth and fairness go together. Forlasting prosperity, you canamp。39。t have one without the other.
　　Is this possible in todayamp。39。s world?
　　I believe it is or I wouldnamp。39。t be standing here.
　　Do I think it will be easy? Of course not.
　　But, hereamp。39。s the good news: There are allies for change everywhere who know we canamp。39。t stand bywhile inequality increases, wages stagnate, and the promise of America dims. We shouldwele the support of all Americans who want to go forward together with us.
　　There are public officials who know Americans need a better deal.
　　Business leaders who want higher pay for employees, equal pay for women and nodiscrimination against the LGBT munity either.
　　There are leaders of finance who want less shortterm trading and more longterm investing.
　　They want to put immigrants, who work hard and pay taxes, at risk of deportation.
　　And they turn their backs on gay people who love each other.
　　Fundamentally, they reject what it takes to build an inclusive economy. It takes an inclusivesociety. What I once called amp。quot。a villageamp。quot。 that has a place for everyone.
　　Now, my values and a lifetime of experiences have given me a different vision for America.
　　I believe that success isnamp。39。t measured by how much the wealthiest Americans have, but by howmany children climb out of poverty……。
　　How many startups and small businesses open and thrive……。
　　How many young people go to college without drowning in debt……。
　　How many people find a good job……。
　　How many families get ahead and stay ahead.
　　I didnamp。39。t learn this from politics. I learned it from my own family.
　　My mother taught me that everybody needs a chance and a champion. She knew what it waslike not to have either one.
　　Her own parents abandoned her, and by 14 she was out on her own, working as a later, when I was old enough to understand, I asked what kept her going.
　　You know what her answer was? Something very simple: kindness from someone who believedshe mattered.
　　The first grade teacher who saw she had nothing to eat at lunch and, without embarrassing her,brought extra food to share.
　　The woman whose house she cleaned letting her go to high school so long as her work got was a bargain she leapt to accept.
　　And, because some people believed in her, she believed in me.
　　Thatamp。39。s why I believe with all my heart in America and in the potential of every American.
　　To meet every challenge.
　　To be resilient……。no matter what the world throws at you.
　　To solve the toughest problems.
　　I believe we can do all these things because Iamp。39。ve seen it happen.
　　As a young girl, I signed up at my Methodist Church to babysit the children of Mexicanfarmworkers, while their parents worked in the fields on the weekends. And later, as a lawstudent, I advocated for Congress to require better working and living conditions for farmworkers whose children deserved better opportunities.
　　My first job out of law school was for the Childrenamp。39。s Defense Fund. I walked doortodoor to findout how many children with disabilities couldnamp。39。t go to school, and to help build the case for alaw guaranteeing them access to education.
　　As a leader of the Legal Services Corporation, I defended the right of poor people to have alawyer. And I saw lives changed because an abusive marriage ended or an illegal evictionstopped.
　　In Arkansas, I supervised law students who represented clients in courts and prisons,organized scholarships for single parents going to college, led efforts for better schools andhealth care, and personally knew the people whose lives were improved.
　　As Senator, I had the honor of representing brave firefighters, police officers, EMTs,construction workers, and volunteers who ran toward danger on 9/11 and stayed there,being sick themselves.
　　It took years of effort, but Congress finally approved the health care they needed.
　　There are so many faces and stories that I carry with me of people who gave their best and thenneeded help themselves.
　　Just weeks ago, I met another person like that, a single mom juggling a job and classes atmunity college while raising three kids.
　　She doesnamp。39。t expect anything to e easy. But she did ask me: What more can be done so itisnamp。39。t quite so hard for families like hers?
　　I want to be her champion and your champion.
