When you give a speech you don't go through a laundry list, you talk about the things that you think are important.

Mr. Chairman, delegates. I accept your nomination for President of the United States of America. I do so with humility, deeply moved by the trust you have placed in me. It is a great honor. It is an even greater responsibility.

There is no day more joyful in my life than when I see all my family around me. That's the best it gets.

President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet. My promise... is to help you and your family.

The American culture promotes personal responsibility, the dignity of work, the value of education, the merit of service, devotion to a purpose greater than self, and at the foundation, the pre-eminence of family.

I think an amnesty program... which is what the president (George W. Bush) has proposed... those are reasonable proposals.

I will spend the next four years rebuilding the foundation of a opportunity society led by free people and free enterprises.
