Excerpt from Hillary Clinton's victory speech after Texas, Ohio & R.I wins:
"I want to end (this speech) by sharing with you a message that I got late last month from someone who didn't have much money to spare, but sent me $10 for my campaign and sent an e-mail in which she wrote: "My two daughters are two and four, and we chant and cheer for you at every speech we see. I want them to know anything is possible."
Tonight I say to them, keep on watching. Together, we're going to make history. To those little girls, I say this is America, and we do believe you can be anything you want to be, and we want our sons and our daughters to dream big. I have big dreams for America’s future. The question is not whether we can fulfill those dreams, it's whether we will. And here's our answer: yes, we will.
We will do what it takes, and we will once again make the kind of progress that America deserves. We’re going to protect our country and preserve our constitution. We’re going to lead with our values. We will reach out to those on the margins and in the shadows because that's what we do in America. We break barriers, we open doors, we make sure every voice is heard. Together, we will turn promises into action, words into solutions, and hope into reality." (end quote)
For all the Dorothys who refuse to surrender when life sends a cyclone or wicked witch their way. Remember what happened when Dorothy finally reached Oz? She's all gussied up, ruby slippers polished, dancing her cares away. Suddenly,the wicked witch burns a message across the sky. Surrender, Dorothy! Hey, all you Dorothys out there: that witch gets hers in the end. NEVER SURRENDER, DOROTHY. The adventure has just begun.
