    It was an amazing week in Charlotte, full of energy and excitement. Here are some of our favorite lines throughout the convention:

    "If you reject the notion that this nation’s promise is reserved for the few, your voice must be heard in this election."—President Obama

    "Barack and I see a future where no one—no one—is forced to live in the shadows of intolerance."—Vice President Biden

    Marc Anthony's performance of the National Anthem.

    "We believe 'we’re all in this together' is a better philosophy than 'you’re on your own.'"—Bill Clinton

    "Romney calls young people like Benita 'illegal aliens.' President Obama calls them 'dreamers.' That's the difference in this election."—Cristina Saralegui

    "Here in America, we all have an equal voice in the voting booth."—Michelle Obama at The Hispanic Caucus

    "We will not stop knocking doors, reaching out in every state, everywhere Latinos are found."—Hilda Solis at The Hispanic Caucus

    "The future of over one million good people will be decided in this election."—Rep. Luis Gutierrez

    "In the end, the American Dream is not a sprint or even a marathon—but a relay. Our families don't always cross the finish line in the span of one generation. But each generation passes on to the next the fruits of their labor."—San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro
