On behalf of the great state of New Mexico, let me express my gratitude for being invited to speak tonight.
Growing up, I never imagined a girl from a border town could one day become a governor.
But this is America
Y, en America todo es posible.
My parents taught me to never give up and to always believe that my future could be whatever I dreamt it to be.
Success, they taught me, is built on the foundation of courage, hard-work and individual responsibility.
Despite what some would have us believe, success is not built on resentment and fears.
We grew up on the border and truly lived paycheck to paycheck. My dad was a golden gloves boxer in the Marine Corps, then a deputy sheriff. My mom worked as an office assistant.
One day, they decided to start a security guard business. I thought they were absolutely crazy-we literally had no savings, but they always believed in the American Dream.
So, my dad worked to grow the business.
My mom did the books at night. And at 18, I guarded the parking lot at the Catholic Church bingos.
Now, my dad made sure I could take care of myself.
I carried a Smith and Wesson .357 Magnum — that gun weighed more than I did!
My parents grew that small business-from one 18-year-old guarding a bingo-to more than 125 people in three states.
And sure, there was help along the way. But my parents took the risk. They stood up. And y.

If you don't live in New Mexico, you probably aren't familiar with Gov. Susana Martinez -- but Republican's are hoping that will soon change.
Martinez, 53, will be introducing vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan tonight -- a prime speaking slot for the newcomer to the scene.
Martinez is a triple threat for Republicans: She's female, she's Hispanic and she's a former Democrat. Her story is one that Republicans hope will resonate with Hispanic voters everywhere, and tonight is her big introduction onto the national stage.
Elected in 2010, Martinez is the nation's first Latina governor. She's popular in her state, with recent polling showing her approval rating above 50 percent.
With 6.7 percent unemployment, New Mexico boasts a rate lower than the national average and Martinez, herself, has the distinction of being a conservative governor in a state that tends to swing towards Democrats.
Unsurprisingly, Martinez was rumored to be a potential vice presidential running mate for Mitt Romney, but she vehemently denied wanting the position. She is the guardian for her disabled sister and moving her was not an option, Martinez said.
Martinez hasn't always agreed with Romney, but she's emphasized her support even when voicing disagreement.
In an interview with Newsweek in May 2012, Martinez was asked about Romney's self-deportation ide

Susana Martinez tried to reach out to both Latino voters and the GOP base Wednesday with a speech that touched on her heritage and brought delegates to their feet with a story about packing a .357-magnum pistol as an 18-year-old helping out her parents’ security company.
“En America, todo es posible,” she said towards the beginning. She also recounted her parents’ old security guard business, which gave her the job of guarding the parking lot at Catholic church bingos. “I carried a Smith & Wesson .357 magnum,” Ms. Martinez said to one of the louder cheers during her speech.
Warming up delegates for the appearance of vice-presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan, Ms. Martinez described the lunch with local GOP officials that caused to her to leave the Democratic Party when she was mounting a bid for district attorney.
Afterwards, she looked at her husband, Chuck, and said, “I’ll be damned, we’re Republicans.”
Although President Barack Obama is still expected to handily win the Latino vote this year, the GOP is still trying to remind voters that on many issues, the voting bloc may line up with the party of Mitt Romney. (The stumbling block: Immigration policy, among other things.)
Ms. Martinez sometimes strove for a post-partisan tone, playing up themes of personal responsibility and self-improvement.
Earlier this year, Ms. Martinez made headlines when she questioned Mr. Romney’s suggestion

In a sign of her rising stature within the Republican Party, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez took center stage Wednesday night at the Republican Convention in Tampa – speaking right before vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.
In her speech, an emotional Martinez attacked President Barack Obama for the U.S.’s growing national debt while calling for bi-partisan politics to solve America’s problems. Martinez, like her fellow Latino politicians Ted Cruz of Texas and Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval, began her convention speech by recalling her family’s blue-collar past.
“We grew up on the border and truly lived paycheck to paycheck. My dad was a golden gloves boxer in the Marine Corps, then a deputy sheriff. My mom worked as an office assistant,” Martinez said, adding that her family opened up a security business that had her guarding a church parking lot with a Smith and Wesson .357 Magnum. “And sure, there was help along the way. But my parents took the risk. They stood up. And you better believe that they built it.'
Like her Nevada counterpart Sandoval, Martinez earned a law degree and eventually was elected District Attorney of the 3rd Judicial District of New Mexico in 1996. She was elected governor of New Mexico in 2010, becoming the first Latina to hold a governorship in the U.S. and recent polls show that her approval rating in the border state is above 50 percent.
Unlike Nevada however, which suffers from the nation’s highest une

American beauty Scarlett Johansson took to the stage at the 2012 Democratic National Convention and delivered her speech. The following is the full transcript text (as prepared for delivery).
'It's an honor to be here tonight. I speak to you not as a representative of young Hollywood, but as a representative of the many millions of young Americans, particularly young women, who depend on public and nonprofit programs to help them survive.
I grew up in New York City with four siblings. My father barely made enough to get by. We moved every year, and we finally settled in a housing development for lower middle income families. We went to public schools and depended on programs for school transport and lunches, as did most of my friends. My girlfriends from high school to this day still depend on Planned Parenthood and often Medicaid for important health care services.
In 2008, less than half of all eligible voters between the ages of 18 and 24 voted. Young America, why are we only speaking with half our voice when so many issues at stake here directly affect us? You know who I'm voting for. I'm not going to tell you who to vote for. I'm here to ask you to commit to vote.
It's never been easier than now. Go to commit.BarackObama.com to register, to find your polling location and any other information you need. It's that easy.
Earlier this week, Chelsea Clinton reminded us that we are the generation whose voi

തന്ത്രി തന്നെ വിളിച്ചുവെന്ന് കോടതിയില് മൊഴി മാറ്റി ശ്രീധരന് പിള്ള
ശബരിമല വിഷയത്തില് തന്ത്രി രാജീവര് തന്നെ വിളിച്ചില്ലെന്ന് പറഞ്ഞ ബി.ജെ.പി സംസ്ഥാന പ്രസിഡന്റ് അഡ്വ. പി.എസ് ശ്രീധരന് പിള്ള കോടതിയില് നല്കിയ ഹര്ജിയില് തന്ത്രി വിളിച്ചുവെന്ന് സമ്മതിക്കുന്നു
കോഴിക്കോട് നടത്തിയ പ്രസംഗത്തില് തന്ത്രി തന്നെ വിളിച്ചുവെന്ന് പറഞ്ഞത് വിവാദമായിരുന്നു. ഇതോടെ ശനിയാഴ്ച ഈ നിലപാട് മാറ്റുകയായിരുന്നു . അതിനിടെയാണ് ഹൈക്കോടതിയില് പ്രസംഗത്തിന്റെ സി.ഡി.ഉള്പ്പെടെ നല്കിയ ഹര്ജിയുടെ വിശദാംശങ്ങള് പുറത്തുവന്നത്.ഇതില് തന്ത്രി വിളിച്ചുവെന്ന അദ്ദേഹം സമ്മതിച്ചു .
ശബരിമല തന്ത്രി കണ്ഠരര് രാജീവര് തന്നെ വിളിച്ചുവെന്നും അദ്ദേഹത്തിന് താന് പിന്തുണ നല്കിയതായും പറയുന്ന ഭാഗം അതേപടി ഹര്ജിയില് പരാമര്ശിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്.
പ്രസംഗം സമാധാന അന്തരീക്ഷം തകര്ക്കുന്ന തരത്തിലുള്ള ഇടപെടലാണെന്ന് ചൂണ്ടിക്കാട്ടി ഇന്ത്യന് ശിക്ഷാ നിയമം 505(1)ബി പ്രകാരം കോഴിക്കോട് കസബ പോലീസ് കേസെടുത്തിരുന്നു. ഇതിനെതിരെ തനിക്കെതിരെ ചുമത്തിയ കുറ്റം നിലനില്ക്കുന്നതല്ലെന്ന് സമര്ത്ഥിക്കാനാണ് അഭിഭാഷകന് കൂടിയായ ശ്രീധരന് പിള്ള ഹൈക്കോടതിയില് നല്കിയ ഹര്ജിക്കൊപ്പം പ്രസംഗത്തിന്റെ കൈയെഴുത്തുപ്രതിയും സി.ഡിയും ഹാജരാക്കിയത്.
ശ്രീധരന്പിള്ളയുടെ ഹര്ജിയില് സര്ക്കാരിനോട് കോടതി വിശദീകരണം തേടിയിട്ടുണ്ട്. കേസ് ചൊവ്വാഴ്ച വീണ്ടും പരിഗണിക്കും.
