Read Gonzalez' acceptance speech

"In my time I have had the honor to be vilified for standing up against segregation.

"I have had the privilege of being a thorn in the side of unprincipled privilege, and the great joy of being demonized by entrenched special interests.

"I have had the special pride of seeing hard jobs completed: the great civil rights laws; the cleanup of corruption in the savings and loan industry; the enactment of Federal laws that help educate the poor, care for the sick, eradicate disease, and house the people.

"And I have endured the impatience and humiliation that comes along with sometimes falling short of the goal."
