TIPPER GORE DELIVERS REMARKS AT DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION
CAMPAIGN 2000: TIPPER GORE DELIVERS REMARKS AT DEMOCRATIC
NATIONAL CONVENTION
AUGUST 17, 2000
SPEAKER: TIPPER GORE, WIFE OF VICE PRESIDENT GORE
T. GORE: Thank you. Thank you.
I want to thank you, Kristin. Your dad and I are very proud of
you. Thank you very much.
And hello, Tennessee.
(APPLAUSE)
It's great. Thank you. Thank you. We love you all. Thank you.
As you might have guessed, tonight is a very special night for
our family. After almost 25 years in public service fighting for
America's working families, Al will accept the Democratic Party's
nomination for president of the United States.
(APPLAUSE)
Many of you know that faith and family are at the center of Al's
life. Many of you know Al to be a decisive leader with strong values,
deeply held convictions, and a steadfast commitment to making the
American dream a reality for all our people.
(APPLAUSE)
But I also want you to know that as a husband, father and
grandfather Al has always been there for our family, and he will
always be there for your family.
(APPLAUSE)
During this campaign you have graciously invited Al and me into
your homes and communities, and you've talked to us about your lives
and your hopes and your dreams for the future.
T. GORE: Now this evening, I want to share with you a little bit
more about Al and the life of our family. Now, I'm going to do it in
a way that I know best: through pictures that I've taken over the 30
years of our life together.
(APPLAUSE)
Now, I know some of you are saying, "Please, not the family photo
album."
But for those of you sprinting for the door, stay just a little
while, and see the man I love in a way that you may not have seen him
before.
(APPLAUSE)
Thank you.
And listen, did I mention I have loved him for more than 30
years? And yes, from first sight. So let's look.
(VIDEOTAPE PRESENTATION)
T. GORE: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my husband, our
next president of the United States, Al Gore.
END
