Democrats, Republicans, independents, people across America. If you don't vote for me, I still want to be your president.

We are here to advance the cause of women and to advance the cause of democracy and to make it absolutely clear that the two are inseparable.

Thanks to you, we've reached a milestone. The first time in our nation's history that a woman will be a major party's nominee.

What we are learning around the world is that if women are healthy and educated, their families will flourish. If women are free from violence, their families will flourish. If women have a chance to work and earn as full and equal partners in society, their families will flourish. And when families flourish, communities and nations do as well.

Everyone has some dysfunction in their families. They have to deal with it. You don't walk away if you love someone. You help the person.

I feel like I have to do the best job I can to basically say, "OK, I understand - you have every right to be angry, but anger is not a plan. Here's what I want to do, and that's why I hope you will support me, because I think it will actually improve the lives of Americans."

There is no doubt that the increasing numbers of women in the economy has helped fuel significant growth everywhere. And economies that are making the shift more effectively and rapidly are dramatically outperforming those that have not.
