Friend,

I arrived in Philadelphia this morning for the Democratic National Convention, and I'm ready to get to work.

I'm ready to join my fellow Democrats in fighting for middle class families and progressive values.

I'm ready for us to make history.

On Wednesday, just after 7PM, I will address the entire Democratic convention to make clear that Secretary Clinton is not only one of the most experienced nominees in our party's history, but also one of the toughest. She will fight for the marginalized, honorably represent our nation in the world, and lead a nation of inclusion and love rather than one of division and hatred.

Last week was a dark moment in our nation's history: A dangerous, bigoted demagogue was nominated by the party of Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Eisenhower.

This week, our party will celebrate the common hope of our people, our diversity, and the tremendous progress we have made under President Obama.

And most importantly, we will make Hillary Clinton the first woman presidential nominee of a major political party.

I hope you'll tune in this week as we make history.



Martin
