Hillary Clinton accepts the Democratic Party's nomination for president | Hillary Clinton

We've come to Philadelphia, the birthplace of our nation, because what happened in this city 240 years ago still has something to teach us today. Our country's motto is E Pluribus Unum. Out of many, we are one. Will we stay true to that motto? We heard Donald Trump's answer last week at his convention. He wants to divide us from the rest of the world and from each other. We will not build a wall. Instead, we will build an economy where everyone who wants a good job can get one. A path to citizenship for millions of immigrants who are already contributing to our economy. We will not ban a religion. We will work with all Americans to fight and defeat terrorism. It should be a living wage and no one working full time should have to raise their children in poverty. Join us. If you believe that every man, woman, and child in America has the right to affordable health care, join us. And yes, if you believe that your working mother, wife, sister, or daughter deserves equal pay, join us. That's the country we're fighting for. And so, my friends, it is with humility, determination, and boundless confidence in America's promise that I accept your nomination for president. I imagine that some of you are sitting at home thinking, but Trump, he's a businessman. He must know something about the economy. Let's take a closer look, shall we? In Atlantic City, 60 miles from here, you will find contractors and small businesses who lost everything because Donald Trump refused to pay his bills. Not because he couldn't pay them, but because he wouldn't pay them when it comes to our national security. Just ask yourself, do you really think Donald Trump has the temperament to be commander-in-chief? A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons. And if we're serious about keeping our country safe, we also can't afford to have a president who's in the pocket of the gun lobby. I'm not here to repeal the Second Amendment. I'm not here to take away your guns. I just don't want you to be shot by someone who shouldn't have a gun in the first place. I refuse to believe we can't find common ground here. We have to heal the divides in our country, not just on guns, but on race, immigration, and more. And we will stand up against mean and divisive rhetoric wherever it comes from. It comes down to what Donald Trump doesn't get. America is great because America is good. The destiny is ours to choose. So let's be stronger together, my fellow Americans. Let confidence, let beloved children, be greater than ever. Thank you, and may God bless you.
