I believe that Hillary Clinton is one of the best prepared people in our history to enter the Oval Office, with her vision, her knowledge, her experience, her strategic thinking, her connection to the American people.

Let's respect women for the value - let's respect everyone, men and women, for the value they bring to the workplace.

Hillary Clinton truly is sincere, but she has to connect more with the American people in terms of what she believes in and how she intends to accomplish progress in their lives.

Freedom is secured every day by our men and women in uniform. We must build a future worthy of their sacrifice.

Democrats believe in reigniting the American dream by removing barriers to success and building ladders of opportunity for all, so everyone can succeed.

In terms of winning the election, it's all about turnout and how we connect with the voter as to what it means in their lives to turn out to vote, to win the House, the Senate, statehouses, state governorships and the rest.

When Americans are worried about losing their jobs, their savings, their homes and their chance at the American Dream, Congress and the president must work together to lift our economy and restore hope. That is the course the New Direction Congress will continue in the days and weeks ahead.
