乡长当选的就职演说

亲爱的代表们和同志们:

感谢各位代表的厚爱，我当选为乡镇人民政府的一把手，这不仅是对我的认可和接纳，也是对我的希望和比较大的信任。在此，我要表示衷心的感谢。我知道这个职位责任重大，任务艰巨。为了更好地履行工作职责，我将尽最大努力做好以下工作:

一是深入基层调查研究。

我将尽快熟悉和掌握红星乡的情况，尽快把握经济社会发展的大背景，力求对各项事业有一个历史的、客观的观感。在深入了解当地情况的前提下，对影响红星经济发展的全局性问题进行系统深入的分析，进一步理清思路，树立在市场经济前提下谋求又快又大发展的科学发展观。

二、全面贯彻中央、省、市、区会议精神，坚持党在农村的方针政策长期稳定，做好农民增收工作。

坚持“多给、少拿、放手”的方针，仔细执行国家有关政策法规，切实减轻农民负担，为农民生产创造宽松的发展环境。

三、扎扎实实抓政府整体工作。

我们要致力于为人民谋政策，向公众征求意见，努力形成实事求是的作风，促进所有决策的民主性和科学性。今年是“十五”第一年。新一届政府班子将以建设社会主义新农村为重点，调整优化农村经济结构，以优化种植、发展畜牧业、拓宽投资渠道、搞活民营经济、发展公益事业、壮大劳动经济为重点，积极发展农业产业化，不断提高农业生产综合效益，增加农民收入。

四、密切联系群众，自觉接受群众监督。

牢固树立为人民服务的思想，想人民所想，为人民着急，办实事，为群众办好事。全面贯彻清正廉洁、廉洁奉公、率先垂范、勤政务实的方针，扎扎实实做好各项工作，绝不辜负组织和代表们的殷切期望，不辜负党和人民赋予我的神圣使命！

虽然我当选为政府首脑，但我的智慧、知识和能力都是有限的。我会把有限的力量融入政府某同事的团队，用团队的力量弥补自己的不足，同心同德，求同存异。在乡党委的正确领导下，在乡人大的监督下，我将竭尽全力把我的乡镇建设成为经济繁荣、事业兴旺、政治强大的新农村！

2.就职演说稿 篇二

尊敬的领导、教师、亲爱的同学们：

大家下午好！

首先感谢团委能够信任我，选举我为本届校学联的主席！这是对我的一种信任，也是一种挑战，不过我坚信，只要在团委老师们的指导下，在新老部长的共同努力下，我们一定会成为承前启后的一届，接好这个接力棒。学联自08年成立至今经历了从无到有的一个过程，而这个过程是所有成就与辉煌的一个基础。与孙一峰的共事让我学到学生领袖改有的气魄与坚持，与何雪娇的共事又让我看到了学生领袖刚柔并济的智慧。所以当我得知我有信可以加入到这么一个集体中而感动激动，既然他们已经为我们铺好了前进的道路，所以我势必将带领大家所向披靡勇往直前。

学生会是在党委的领导下、在团委的指导下独立开展工作的学生组织，是切实为同学们服务的团体，新一届学生会是承前启后的一届，更是开拓创新的一届，我们深知肩膀上的重任。在继承并发扬学生会优良传统的同时，我们更要在新的形势下搭建新的舞台、开创新的局面，使学生会提升到一个新的发展平台。为此，我代表新一届学生会全体成员向大家简要汇报一下工作设想和决心：

首先，我们要抓好基础工作，一切工作制度先行，垒筑坚实地基。深层的地基关系着高楼的命脉，我们日常看似平淡的基础工作决定着学生会的全方位的运作。在最短的时间内制订和完善所有制度，包括部门职责，主席团对各部门的月考核制度、对部长的月考核制度，各部门内部部长对于干事的考核制度，每月考核公示制度等等。

第二，丰富第二课堂的活动，打造学生精品社团。作为引领时代潮流的大学生，陈旧、单一的思维方式应予以抛弃，而换之以不拘一格、追求真知的时代气息。为此，我们的社团将革旧鼎新，紧跟时代步伐，向名校学习，向兄弟院系学习，让社团组织真正成为我们锻炼自我、提升自我的舞台，唱出当代大学生的新知、个性和能力。在原有的五星级社团基础上，发展更多精品社团，丰富多彩的社团活动将成为同学们走向社会的绿色通道。我相信，在我们的共同努力下，我们的社团一定会成为校院里的一朵奇葩。

第三，营造精神家园，丰富校园文化生活。大学始终是莘莘学子心驰神往地圣洁殿堂，更是我们塑造高尚品格的缤纷天地。作为学生组织，我们要在落实校团委各项工作的基础上，努力丰富同学们的精神生活，创建广大同学所喜闻乐见的校园文化。使每一名同学在良好的校园文化氛围中，奋发图强，以健康向上的心态迎接每一天的挑战。

学联是服务广大同学的集体，是同学们的家，我们每一位学联成员都是公仆，是志愿者，我们的岗位赋予了我们权力，赋予了我们优越感，但是我们更应该作的是铺下身子去开展工作，时时刻刻牢记自己是学联的一员，要以更高的标准要求自己。我们应该珍惜领导、老师和同学们为我们提供的这一机会，“开弓没有回头箭”，胸怀为同学服务、为学联的发展尽一份力的愿望，在学院党总支的领导下，在团总支老师的具体指导和帮助下，在广大同学的支持下，只要我们精诚团结、相互合作、彼此鼓励、倡导奉献，矢志不移的面对压力和挑战，我们终会成就一番事业，开创一片天地，但愿明年的今天，当我们把学联发展的接力棒交给下一届的时候，我们会说：我们是成功的。

最后，我愿引用一句话来结束我的发言“拧在一起，我们就是一道闪电；聚在一块，我们就是整个太阳；站在一处，我们就是用心灵结成的信念，就像打不垮、推不倒的铜墙铁壁。”只要我们携手同行，奋力拼搏，必定会使蓬勃发展的学联绽放出更加夺目的光芒。

请团委老师和即将离开学联的老同学们及时给予我们支持、帮助和监督，热忱欢迎你们的指教。

尊敬各位代表，同志们：

二是不虚。就是要踏踏实实，始终服务群众、造福人民。牢记全心全意为人民服务的宗旨，求实，但不落俗套；进取，但不图虚名，把勤政为民作为第一责任，时刻把群众的安危冷暖放在心上，把人民群众的满意度和认可度作为衡量工作好坏的唯一标准，真心实意地为人民群众办实事、做好事、解难事，让发展成果更好地普惠于全镇人民。

三是不贪。就是要清清白白，始终以身作则、清正廉洁。堂堂正正做人，清清白白做官，干干净净做事。尤其在权力面前，保持一颗敬畏之心，严格依法履行职责，自觉接受各方面的监督，谨慎用权、民主用权、秉公用权，确保权力在阳光下运行；坚持把廉洁从政作为立身之本，勤修廉洁自律、克己奉公之德，我若贪取一分，我便一分不值。

各位代表，同志们，建设开放繁荣秀美幸福的xx，是全镇四万人民的共同愿望。我坚信，有新区党工委和镇党委的坚强领导，有历届镇班子打下的政府工作的良好基础，有全镇上下的共同奋斗，xx的明天一定会更加美好。

4.校长就职发言演说稿 篇四

大家好!

今天是我到xxx来第一次在这样的场合和大家见面，很高兴能和在座的熟悉的和将要熟悉的老师们成为同事。第一次和大家交流、交心，我想说四个词——四个意识：有幸、有缘、有感、有言。

第一个词，“有幸”。荣幸、幸运的意思。为什么说有幸呢，我想是出于以下三个方面的原因。

范文网

第一，xxx是有着悠久历史、深厚积淀、独到文化和卓著声誉的百年名校。说她历史悠久，是因为这所学校栉风沐雨、薪火相传，至今已走过近80年的历程;说她积淀深厚，是因为xxx的品牌是几代人，包括在座的各位呕心沥血、承前启后，用智慧和汗水、激情与奉献铸就的;说她有独到文化，是因为xxx有着令人肃然起敬的学校精神，有着积极向上的价值取向和约定俗成的行为规范。“蓬生麻中，不扶自直”，“橘生淮南为橘，生淮北为枳”，这就是学校文化的作用。而xxx显然有着这样一种学校文化的影响力：众志成城的凝聚力，价值和行为的导向力，追寻梦想的激励力，和谐共享、携手共进的纽带力。至于说到声誉卓著，我想每年xxx招生时门庭若市的火爆场面就足以说明问题了。

第二，xxx有着一个结构合理、敬业爱生、积极进取、业务精湛的教师群体。在我们xxx，有着非常可敬、可爱的一批老教师，他们对待工作兢兢业业，只谈奉献，不谈索取。有几位明年即将退休的老教师，有的今年仍然带毕业班，有的还任教语文兼班主任，分工时我们提出适当给予照顾，都被婉言谢绝了。所以我说，老教师是我们xxx的宝贵财富，是我们行动的标杆和精神的动力!我们的中年教师，年富力强，经验丰富，是学校的中流砥柱。我们占50%之强的青年教师，更是我们的生力军，也是xxx的未来和希望。在一所学校里，有老教师如山的沉稳，青年教师如水的灵动，这样的动静相宜、和谐互补的局面是学校之幸、学生之幸，也是校长之幸!

第三，xxx是一个规模庞大，人数众多，影响广泛的教育航母。在这里工作是富有挑战性的，是需要全身心投入的。古语说：“水击石鸣，人激志弘”，人的一生中能有一件值得调动自己所有的激情、才干和智慧，并努力做到最好的事情，毫无疑问也是幸运的。

第二个词，“有缘”。11年前，我是有机会来xxx工作的，但因为某种原因，我与xxx失之交臂。现在，我又能成为xxx的一员，与大家成为同事，今后，我们将朝夕相伴、荣辱与共、休戚相关。大千世界，茫茫人海，能和大家有这样的相遇和相处，不能不说是一种缘份。

第三个词，“有感”。来xxx一个月，有些感想、感受。我在想，进一步办好xxx，固然要有许多宏观的系统的决策与思考，也需要许多微观上的艰辛而细致的努力，固然要调动多方面的积极因素，但我个人看法，首先要进一步明确xxx的定位，发展定位、目标定位;其次要有一些长期坚守和秉持的原则和理念。“定位”是方向和目的，“原则”是确保航向不出现偏差并顺利达成目标。

先谈谈“定位”。

一是办学思想的定位。苏霍姆林斯基说：“校长领导学校，首先是教育思想上的领导，其次才是行政上的领导。”xxx的教育应该是为每一个人的卓越成长与发展提供可能的教育。我们的价值取向是教师与学生两种生命个体都得到激扬，都能够享有成功后的“高峰”体验。我们不能确保每个人在今后的人生之旅中都获得成功，但我们要努力使每个人在学校生活中，在他的“最近发展区”内都能得到成长。当然这个成长不仅仅是生理意义上的，更是智能、情意、态度和价值观上的成长。一句话，我们的教育要着眼和着力于人的全面和谐发展。这样的定位说说是容易的，写在纸上贴在墙上也是方便的，但要落实在我们每一个教育行动，内化在每一个教育环节上则是不易的。它既需要我们带着思想去做事，还需要我们持之以恒，并随时迎接困难和挫折的挑战。

二是学校形象、发展目标的定位。学校形象要内外兼修。我们要始终明白，xxx到底应该是怎样的学校。是不是可以这样来描述：我们的学校应该是先进教育思想和现代教育理念的发源地和聚集地;教师成长与发展的人才库;学生素质提升和未来多元发展的基地;教育教学质量的领跑者;学校教育科研的中心和模范;基于网络平台的现代教育技术的示范……等等。我们要确立学校的愿景规划。近景的和远景的。在这个规划之下我们确立做哪些事，达成什么样的目标。比如，我们要把学校办成书香校园、数字校园、成长家园、学习乐园等等。一个总的目标我想因该是：要扎扎实实，步步为营地把xxx办成真正可与省市顶尖名校相比肩的一流名校。目前看来，这个目标还需要我们付出相当的艰辛和努力。

三是学校特色的定位。特色是一所名校标志性的内涵;特色是一所学校的招牌和品牌;特色是多年潜心培植、深厚积淀后的水落石出;特色是要有着广泛的群众性的。xxx不能说没有特色，但要使学校特色更加突出和鲜明，我们还要做很多工作。

7.希拉里就职演说稿 篇七

It is wonderful to be here with all of you.

To be in New York with my family, with so many friends, including many New Yorkers who gave me the honor of serving them in the Senate for eight years.

To be right across the water from the headquarters of the United Nations, where I represented our country many times.

To be here in this beautiful park dedicated to Franklin Roosevelt’s enduring vision of America, the nation we want to be.

And in a place… with absolutely no ceilings.

You know, President Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms are a testament to our nation’s unmatched aspirations and a reminder of our unfinished work at home and abroad. His legacy lifted up a nation and inspired presidents who followed. One is the man I served as Secretary of State, Barack Obama, and another is my husband, Bill Clinton.

Two Democrats guided by the ― Oh, that will make him so happy. They were and are two Democrats guided by the fundamental American belief that real and lasting prosperity must be built by all and shared by all.

President Roosevelt called on every American to do his or her part, and every American answered. He said there’s no mystery about what it takes to build a strong and prosperous America: “Equality of opportunity… Jobs for those who can work… Security for those who need it… The ending of special privilege for the few… The preservation of civil liberties for all… a wider and constantly rising standard of living.”

That still sounds good to me.

It’s America’s basic bargain. If you do your part you ought to be able to get ahead. And when everybody does their part, America gets ahead too.

That bargain inspired generations of families, including my own.

It’s what kept my grandfather going to work in the same Scranton lace mill every day for 50 years.

It’s what led my father to believe that if he scrimped and saved, his small business printing drapery fabric in Chicago could provide us with a middle-class life. And it did.

When President Clinton honored the bargain, we had the longest peacetime expansion in history, a balanced budget, and the first time in decades we all grew together, with the bottom 20 percent of workers increasing their incomes by the same percentage as the top 5 percent.

When President Obama honored the bargain, we pulled back from the brink of Depression, saved the auto industry, provided health care to 16 million working people, and replaced the jobs we lost faster than after a financial crash.

But, it’s not 1941, or 1993, or even . We face new challenges in our economy and our democracy.

We’re still working our way back from a crisis that happened because time-tested values were replaced by false promises.

Instead of an economy built by every American, for every American, we were told that if we let those at the top pay lower taxes and bend the rules, their success would trickle down to everyone else.

What happened?

Well, instead of a balanced budget with surpluses that could have eventually paid off our national debt, the Republicans twice cut taxes for the wealthiest, borrowed money from other countries to pay for two wars, and family incomes dropped. You know where we ended up.

Except it wasn’t the end.

As we have since our founding, Americans made a new beginning.

You worked extra shifts, took second jobs, postponed home repairs… you figured out how to make it work. And now people are beginning to think about their future again C going to college, starting a business, buying a house, finally being able to put away something for retirement.

So we’re standing again. But, we all know we’re not yet running the way America should.

You see corporations making record profits, with CEOs making record pay, but your paychecks have barely budged.

While many of you are working multiple jobs to make ends meet, you see the top 25 hedge fund managers making more than all of America’s kindergarten teachers combined. And, often paying a lower tax rate.

So, you have to wonder: “When does my hard work pay off? When does my family get ahead?”

“When?”

I say now.

Prosperity can’t be just for CEOs and hedge fund managers.

Democracy can’t be just for billionaires and corporations.

Prosperity and democracy are part of your basic bargain too.

You brought our country back.

Now it’s time ― your time to secure the gains and move ahead.

And, you know what?

America can’t succeed unless you succeed.

That is why I am running for President of the United States.

Here, on Roosevelt Island, I believe we have a continuing rendezvous with destiny. Each American and the country we cherish.

I’m running to make our economy work for you and for every American.

For the successful and the struggling.

For the innovators and inventors.

For those breaking barriers in technology and discovering cures for diseases.

For the factory workers and food servers who stand on their feet all day.

For the nurses who work the night shift.

For the truckers who drive for hours and the farmers who feed us.

For the veterans who served our country.

For the small business owners who took a risk.

For everyone who’s ever been knocked down, but refused to be knocked out.

I’m not running for some Americans, but for all Americans.

Our country’s challenges didn’t begin with the Great Recession and they won’t end with the recovery.

For decades, Americans have been buffeted by powerful currents.

Advances in technology and the rise of global trade have created whole new areas of economic activity and opened new markets for our exports, but they have also displaced jobs and undercut wages for millions of Americans.

The financial industry and many multi-national corporations have created huge wealth for a few by focusing too much on short-term profit and too little on long-term value… too much on complex trading schemes and stock buybacks, too little on investments in new businesses, jobs, and fair compensation.

Our political system is so paralyzed by gridlock and dysfunction that most Americans have lost confidence that anything can actually get done. And they’ve lost trust in the ability of both government and Big Business to change course.

Now, we can blame historic forces beyond our control for some of this, but the choices we’ve made as a nation, leaders and citizens alike, have also played a big role.

Our next President must work with Congress and every other willing partner across our entire country. And I will do just that ― to turn the tide so these currents start working for us more than against us.

At our best, that’s what Americans do. We’re problem solvers, not deniers. We don’t hide from change, we harness it.

But we can’t do that if we go back to the top-down economic policies that failed us before.

Americans have come too far to see our progress ripped away.

Now, there may be some new voices in the presidential Republican choir, but they’re all singing the same old song…

A song called “Yesterday.”

You know the one ― all our troubles look as though they’re here to stay… and we need a place to hide away… They believe in yesterday.

And you’re lucky I didn’t try singing that, too, I’ll tell you!

These Republicans trip over themselves promising lower taxes for the wealthy and fewer rules for the biggest corporations without regard for how that will make income inequality even worse.

We’ve heard this tune before. And we know how it turns out.

Ask many of these candidates about climate change, one of the defining threats of our time, and they’ll say: “I’m not a scientist.” Well, then, why don’t they start listening to those who are?

They pledge to wipe out tough rules on Wall Street, rather than rein in the banks that are still too risky, courting future failures. In a case that can only be considered mass amnesia.

They want to take away health insurance from more than 16 million Americans without offering any credible alternative.

They shame and blame women, rather than respect our right to make our own reproductive health decisions.

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 inclusive society. What I once called “a village” 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 isn’t measured by how much the wealthiest Americans have, but by how many children climb out of poverty…

How many start-ups 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 didn’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 was like not to have either one.

Her own parents abandoned her, and by 14 she was out on her own, working as a housemaid. Years 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 believed she mattered.

The 1st 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 done. That was a bargain she leapt to accept.

And, because some people believed in her, she believed in me.

That’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 I’ve seen it happen.

As a young girl, I signed up at my Methodist Church to babysit the children of Mexican farmworkers, while their parents worked in the fields on the weekends. And later, as a law student, I advocated for Congress to require better working and living conditions for farm workers whose children deserved better opportunities.

My first job out of law school was for the Children’s Defense Fund. I walked door-to-door to find out how many children with disabilities couldn’t go to school, and to help build the case for a law guaranteeing them access to education.

As a leader of the Legal Services Corporation, I defended the right of poor people to have a lawyer. And saw lives changed because an abusive marriage ended or an illegal eviction stopped.

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 and health 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, becoming 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 then needed help themselves.

Just weeks ago, I met another person like that, a single mom juggling a job and classes at community college, while raising three kids.

She doesn’t expect anything to come easy. But she did ask me: What more can be done so it isn’t quite so hard for families like hers?

I want to be her champion and your champion.

If you’ll give me the chance, I’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 incomes and broader horizons. And 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. For lasting prosperity, you can’t have one without the other.

Is this possible in today’s world?

I believe it is or I wouldn’t be standing here.

Do I think it will be easy? Of course not.

But, here’s the good news: There are allies for change everywhere who know we can’t stand by while inequality increases, wages stagnate, and the promise of America dims. We should welcome 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 no discrimination against the LGBT community either.

There are leaders of finance who want less short-term trading and more long-term investing.

There are union leaders who are investing their own pension funds in putting people to work to build tomorrow’s economy. We need everyone to come to the table and work with us.

In the coming weeks, I’ll propose specific policies to:

Reward businesses who invest in long term value rather than the quick buck C because that leads to higher growth for the economy, higher wages for workers, and yes, bigger profits, everybody will have a better time.

I will rewrite the tax code so it rewards hard work and investments here at home, not quick trades or stashing profits overseas.

I will give new incentives to companies that give their employees a fair share of the profits their hard work earns.

We will unleash a new generation of entrepreneurs and small business owners by providing tax relief, cutting red tape, and making it easier to get a small business loan.

We will restore America to the cutting edge of innovation, science, and research by increasing both public and private investments.

And we will make America the clean energy superpower of the 21st century.

Developing renewable power C wind, solar, advanced biofuels…

Building cleaner power plants, smarter electric grids, greener buildings…

Using additional fees and royalties from fossil fuel extraction to protect the environment…

And ease the transition for distressed communities to a more diverse and sustainable economic future from coal country to Indian country, from small towns in the Mississippi Delta to the Rio Grande Valley to our inner cities, we have to help our fellow Americans.

Now, this will create millions of jobs and countless new businesses, and enable America to lead the global fight against climate change.

We will also connect workers to their jobs and businesses. Customers will have a better chance to actually get where they need and get what they desire with roads, railways, bridges, airports, ports, and broadband brought up to global standards for the 21st century.

We will establish an infrastructure bank and sell bonds to pay for some of these improvements.

Now, building an economy for tomorrow also requires investing in our most important asset, our people, beginning with our youngest.

That’s why I will propose that we make preschool and quality childcare available to every child in America.

And I want you to remember this, because to me, this is absolutely the most-compelling argument why we should do this. Research tells us how much early learning in the first five years of life can impact lifelong success. In fact, 80 percent of the brain is developed by age three.

One thing I’ve learned is that talent is universal C you can find it anywhere C but opportunity is not. Too many of our kids never have the chance to learn and thrive as they should and as we need them to.

Our country won’t be competitive or fair if we don’t help more families give their kids the best possible start in life.

So let’s staff our primary and secondary schools with teachers who are second to none in the world, and receive the respect they deserve for sparking the love of learning in every child.

Let’s make college affordable and available to all …and lift the crushing burden of student debt.

Let’s provide lifelong learning for workers to gain or improve skills the economy requires, setting up many more Americans for success.

Now, the second fight is to strengthen America’s families, because when our families are strong, America is strong.

And today’s families face new and unique pressures. Parents need more support and flexibility to do their job at work and at home.

I believe you should have the right to earn paid sick days.

I believe you should receive your work schedule with enough notice to arrange childcare or take college courses to get ahead.

I believe you should look forward to retirement with confidence, not anxiety.

That you should have the peace of mind that your health care will be there when you need it, without breaking the bank.

I believe we should offer paid family leave so no one has to choose between keeping a paycheck and caring for a new baby or a sick relative.

And it is way past time to end the outrage of so many women still earning less than men on the job ― and women of color often making even less.

This isn’t a women’s issue. It’s a family issue. Just like raising the minimum wage is a family issue. Expanding childcare is a family issue. Declining marriage rates is a family issue. The unequal rates of incarceration is a family issue. Helping more people with an addiction or a mental health problem get help is a family issue.

In America, every family should feel like they belong.

So we should offer hard-working, law-abiding immigrant families a path to citizenship. Not second-class status.

And, we should ban discrimination against LGBT Americans and their families so they can live, learn, marry, and work just like everybody else.

You know, America’s diversity, our openness, our devotion to human rights and freedom is what’s drawn so many to our shores. What’s inspired people all over the world. I know. I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

And these are also qualities that prepare us well for the demands of a world that is more interconnected than ever before.

So we have a third fight: to harness all of America’s power, smarts, and values to maintain our leadership for peace, security, and prosperity.

No other country on Earth is better positioned to thrive in the 21st century. No other country is better equipped to meet traditional threats from countries like Russia, North Korea, and Iran C and to deal with the rise of new powers like China.

No other country is better prepared to meet emerging threats from cyber attacks, transnational terror networks like ISIS, and diseases that spread across oceans and continents.

As your President, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep Americans safe.

And if you look over my left shoulder you can see the new World Trade Center soaring skyward.

As a Senator from New York, I dedicated myself to getting our city and state the help we needed to recover. And as a member of the Armed Services Committee, I worked to maintain the best-trained, best-equipped, strongest military, ready for today’s threats and tomorrow’s.

And when our brave men and women come home from war or finish their service, I’ll see to it that they get not just the thanks of a grateful nation, but the care and benefits they’ve earned.

I’ve stood up to adversaries like Putin and reinforced allies like Israel. I was in the Situation Room on the day we got bin Laden.

But, I know ― I know we have to be smart as well as strong.

Meeting today’s global challenges requires every element of America’s power, including skillful diplomacy, economic influence, and building partnerships to improve lives around the world with people, not just their governments.

There are a lot of trouble spots in the world, but there’s a lot of good news out there too.

I believe the future holds far more opportunities than threats if we exercise creative and confident leadership that enables us to shape global events rather than be shaped by them.

And we all know that in order to be strong in the world, though, we first have to be strong at home. That’s why we have to win the fourth fight C reforming our government and revitalizing our democracy so that it works for everyday Americans.

We have to stop the endless flow of secret, unaccountable money that is distorting our elections, corrupting our political process, and drowning out the voices of our people.

We need Justices on the Supreme Court who will protect every citizen’s right to vote, rather than every corporation’s right to buy elections.

If necessary, I will support a constitutional amendment to undo the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United.

I want to make it easier for every citizen to vote. That’s why I’ve proposed universal, automatic registration and expanded early voting.

I’ll fight back against Republican efforts to disempower and disenfranchise young people, poor people, people with disabilities, and people of color.

What part of democracy are they afraid of?

No matter how easy we make it to vote, we still have to give Americans something worth voting for.

Government is never going to have all the answers C but it has to be smarter, simpler, more efficient, and a better partner.

That means access to advanced technology so government agencies can more effectively serve their customers, the American people.

We need expertise and innovation from the private sector to help cut waste and streamline services.

There’s so much that works in America. For every problem we face, someone somewhere in America is solving it. Silicon Valley cracked the code on sharing and scaling a while ago. Many states 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 us back, not one overwhelmed by extreme partisanship and inflexibility.

Now, I’ll always seek common ground with friend and opponent alike. But I’ll also stand my ground when I must.

That’s something I did as Senator and Secretary of State ― whether it was working with Republicans to expand health care for children and for our National Guard, or improve our foster care and adoption system, or pass a treaty to reduce the number of Russian nuclear warheads that could threaten our cities ― and it’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 each other up, when we have each other’s back.

Like any family, our American family is strongest when we cherish what we have in common, and fight back against those who would drive us apart.

People all over the world have asked me: “How could you and President Obama work together after you fought so hard against each other in that long campaign?”

Now, that is an understandable question considering that in many places, if you lose an election you could get imprisoned or exiled C even killed C not hired as Secretary of State.

But President Obama asked me to serve, and I accepted because we both love our country. That’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.

It’s no secret that we’re going up against some pretty powerful forces that will do and spend whatever it takes to advance a very different vision for America. But I’ve spent my life fighting for children, families, and our country. And I’m not stopping now.

You know, I know how hard this job is. I’ve seen it up close and personal.

All our Presidents come into office looking so vigorous. And then we watch their hair grow grayer and grayer.

Well, I may not be the youngest candidate in this race. But I will be the youngest woman President in the history of the United States!

And the first grandmother as well.

And one additional advantage: You’re won’t see my hair turn white in the White House. I’ve been coloring it for years!

So I’m looking forward to a great debate among Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. I’m not running to be a President only for those Americans who already agree with me. I want to be a President for all Americans.

And along the way, I’ll just let you in on this little secret. I won’t get everything right. Lord knows I’ve made my share of mistakes. Well, there’s no shortage of people pointing them out!

And I certainly haven’t won every battle I’ve fought. But leadership means perseverance and hard choices. You have to push through the setbacks and disappointments and keep at it.

I think you know by now that I’ve been called many things by many people ― “quitter” is not one 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. I’d come home from a hard day at the Senate or the State Department, sit down with her at the small table in our breakfast nook, and just let everything pour out. And she would remind me why we keep fighting, even when the odds are long and the opposition is fierce.

I can still hear her saying: “Life’s not about what happens to you, it’s about what you do with what happens to you C so get back out there.”

She lived to be 92 years old, and I often think about all the battles she witnessed over the course of the last century ― all the progress that was won because Americans refused to give up or back down.

She was born on June 4, 1919 ― before women in America had the right to vote. But on that very day, after years of struggle, Congress passed the Constitutional Amendment that would change that forever.

The story of America is a story of hard-fought, hard-won progress. And it continues today. New chapters are being written by men and women who believe that all of us C not just some, but all C should have the chance to live up to our God-given potential.

Not only because we’re a tolerant country, or a generous country, or a compassionate country, but because we’re a better, stronger, more prosperous country when we harness the talent, 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 become a mother herself. I wish she could have met Charlotte.

I wish she could have seen the America we’re going to build together.

An America, where if you do your part, you reap the rewards.

Where we don’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. Even President of the United States.
