【正文】 on sharing and scaling a while ago. Manystates are pioneering new ways to deliver services. I want to help Washington catch up.
　　To do that, we need a political system that produces results by solving problems that hold usback, not one overwhelmed by extreme partisanship and inflexibility.
　　Now, Iamp。39。ll always seek mon ground with friend and opponent alike. But Iamp。39。ll also stand myground when I must.
　　Thatamp。39。s something I did as Senator and Secretary of State amp。ndash。 whether it was working withRepublicans to expand health care for children and for our National Guard, or improve ourfoster care and adoption system, or pass a treaty to reduce the number of Russian nuclearwarheads that could threaten our cities amp。ndash。 and itamp。39。s something I will always do as your President.
　　We Americans may differ, bicker, stumble, and fall。 but we are at our best when we pick eachother up, when we have each otheramp。39。s back.
　　Like any family, our American family is strongest when we cherish what we have in mon,and fight back against those who would drive us apart.
　　People all over the world have asked me: amp。quot。How could you and President Obama work togetherafter you fought so hard against each other in that long campaign?amp。quot。
　　Now, that is an understandable question considering that in many places, if you lose anelection you could get imprisoned or exiled amp。ndash。 even killed amp。ndash。 not hired as Secretary of State.
　　But President Obama asked me to serve, and I accepted because we both love our amp。39。s how we do it in America.
　　With that same spirit, together, we can win these four fights.
　　We can build an economy where hard work is rewarded.
　　We can strengthen our families.
　　We can defend our country and increase our opportunities all over the world.
　　And we can renew the promise of our democracy.
　　If we all do our part. In our families, in our businesses, unions, houses of worship, schools,and, yes, in the voting booth.
　　I want you to join me in this effort. Help me build this campaign and make it your own.
　　Talk to your friends, your family, your neighbors.
　　Text amp。quot。JOINamp。quot。 JOIN to 47246.
　　Go to and sign up to make calls and knock on doors.
　　Itamp。39。s no secret that weamp。39。re going up against some pretty powerful forces that will do and spendwhatever it takes to advance a very different vision for America. But Iamp。39。ve spent my life fightingfor children, families, and our country. And Iamp。39。m not stopping now.
　　You know, I know how hard this job is. Iamp。39。ve seen it up close and personal.
　　All our Presidents e into office looking so vigorous. And then we watch their hair growgrayer and grayer.
　　Well, I may not be the youngest candidate in this race. But I will be the youngest womanPresident in the history of the United States!
　　And the first grandmother as well.
　　And one additional advantage: Youamp。39。re wonamp。39。t see my hair turn white in the White House. Iamp。39。vebeen coloring it for years!
　　So, Iamp。39。m looking forward to a great debate among Democrats, Republicans, and amp。39。m not running to be a President only for those Americans who already agree with me. I wantto be a President for all Americans.
　　And along the way, Iamp。39。ll just let you in on this little secret. I wonamp。39。t get everything right. Lordknows Iamp。39。ve made my share of mistakes. Well, thereamp。39。s no shortage of people pointing them out!
　　And I certainly havenamp。39。t won every battle Iamp。39。ve fought. But leadership means perseverance andhard choices. You have to push through the setbacks and disappointments and keep at it.
　　I think you know by now that Iamp。39。ve been called many things by many people amp。ndash。 amp。quot。quitteramp。quot。 is notone of them.
　　Like so much else in my life, I got this from my mother.
　　When I was a girl, she never let me back down from any bully or barrier. In her later years,Mom lived with us, and she was still teaching me the same lessons. Iamp。39。d e home from a hardday at the Senate or the State Department, sit down with her at the small table in ourbreakfast nook, and just let everything pour out. And she would remind me why we keepfighting, even when the odds are long and the opposition is fierce.
　　I can still hear her saying: amp。quot。Lifeamp。39。s not about what happens to you, itamp。39。s about what you do withwhat happens to you amp。ndash。 so get back out there.amp。quot。
　　She lived to be 92 years old, and I often think about all the battles she witnessed over thecourse of the last century amp。ndash。 all the progress that was won because Americans refused to give upor back down.
　　She was born on June 4, 1919 amp。ndash。 before women in America had the right to vote. But on thatvery day, after years of struggle, Congress passed the Constitutional Amendment that wouldchange that forever.
　　The story of America is a story of hardfought, hardwon progress. And it continues today. Newchapters are being written by men and women who believe that all of us amp。ndash。 not just some, butall amp。ndash。 should have the chance to live up to our Godgiven potential.
　　Not only because weamp。39。re a tolerant country, or a generous country, or a passionatecountry, but because weamp。39。re a better, stronger, more prosperous country when we harness thetalent, hard work, and ingenuity of every single American.
　　I wish my mother could have been with us longer. I wish she could have seen Chelsea bee amother herself. I wish she could have met Charlotte.
　　I wish she could have seen the America weamp。39。re going to build together.
　　An America, where if you do your part, you reap the rewards.
　　Where we donamp。39。t leave anyone out, or anyone behind.
　　An America where a father can tell his daughter: yes, you can be anything you want to be. EvenPresident of the United States.
　　Thank you all. God bless you. And may God bless America
