I thank you from the core of my heart for your timely help. Your party will need to find a new balance on the political scale, without betraying its core principles. A handwritten speech — Official White House Photo by Pete Souza Around the United States there are hundreds of candidates in the last throes of an election campaign. In 1928, he was elected governor of New York and in 1932, president. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all of Americans, and this is so important to me. It is time to be happy, but it also signals the beginning of the real work ahead. I guess that would be it.
Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country. The next four years should prove to be exiting as we have so many new faces and fresh ideas, coupled with energy and enthusiasm! You helped me keep my sanity and perspective when the going was tough. I believe we can keep the promise of our founders, the idea that if you're willing to work hard, it doesn't matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you love. As the political landscape has shifted, so will your political action. And I ask you to sustain that hope. And I saw it just the other day in Mentor, Ohio, where a father told the story of his 8-year-old daughter whose long battle with leukemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been for health care reform passing just a few months before the insurance company was about to stop paying for her care.
We will do a great job. I am gratified at so many wishes for my little baby. Thank you so much it was very helpful. After being out of office for a term, he came back, and won the governorship back from the man who had beat him. Limit your thank yous to three people. I am looking forward to working with each one of you and our staff for the betterment of Gainesville and its citizens. Additionally, I would like to thank the other candidates who ran for office.
But more than that, I want them to know. Ask your members for their input in updating your platform. Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy and complicated. You will say that — you will say that that was something that you were — really were very proud to do and I can — thank you very much. They also felt comfortable giving the speech, well actually they looked and sounded fine but initially very nervous! What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on Earth, the belief that our destiny is shared -- cheers, applause -- that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations, so that the freedom which so many Americans have fought for and died for come with responsibilities as well as rights, and among those are love and charity and duty and patriotism. Look at all of the people that we have. We have over 200 generals and admirals that have endorsed our campaign and there are special people.
They are examples of what you might say if you were giving a particular sort of speech on a special occasion. What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on Earth. There is always another day, another election, another set of opportunities. We will face serious challenges over the coming years that I am sure we will overcome. And in the coming weeks and months, I am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together.
Let the voters get to know you and stand for something that matters. It's about what can be done by us together through the hard and frustrating, but necessary work of self-government. If elected, I promise to give my all to my elected position and make sure your issues and concerns are fully at the local and national level. Chances are they were drawn to your values. And I can only say that while the campaign is over, our work on this movement is now really just beginning. The dialogue with the Corps of Engineers has already started about those possibilities.
We will do a great job. But you should also explore new topics. I want to give a very special thanks to our former mayor, Rudy Giuliani. I reciprocate your sentiments and wishes… 52. I want to thank Ruth Bruner for her outstanding service and her leadership as Mayor. I am so flattered that you should have remembered my birthday. We want our kids to grow up in a country where they have access to the best schools and the best teachers -- cheers, applause -- a country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation -- scattered cheers, applause -- with all of the good jobs and new businesses that follow.
It will also help you as a party to build political credibility outside your core topics. Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual. America's never been about what can be done for us. Despite all this, however, Trump managed to strike a chord with the American people as an unorthodox candidate without a political background, selling a call for a Southern border wall, a temporary ban on Muslim immigrants, and his strong opposition to trade deals, among his other bombastic talking points. Use your time to organise fundraising events, to train your new members on campaign techniques and to strengthen your internal and external communication. For the good of all citizens, these questions need to be answered quickly. And I can only say that while the campaign is over, our work on this movement is now really just beginning.
