When it comes to one of our closest allies - Israel - President Obama has been resolute,\" Schumer said.\u003cbr/\u003eHe added a taunt to Republicans and their candidate Mitt Romney: \"Republicans always try to paint Democrats as weak on defence. This time, they can't. After all, Mitt Romney's idea of an overseas accomplishment is sending US jobs there.\"\u003cbr/\u003eIn one of the most energetic moments of the early evening, the Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, Representative Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri, invoked President Obama's 2008 message of hope, firing up the crowd and urging them not to give up. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Mr. President,\" he shouted, \"Hope on!  Hope on!  Hope on!  We are people of hope, Mr. President!  Hope on, hope on!  When all else is gone, hope on!\" \u003cbr/\u003eHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi told Democrats in her prime time address that this November's election \"offers the clearest choice of our time.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"Many names are on the ballot, so too on the ballot is the character of our country,\" she said.\u003cbr/\u003ePelosi said November's election is about much more than a choice between two parties.  Also on the ballot, she said, are womens' rights, entitlement programmes and opportunities for the middle class.\u003cbr/\u003eMaking history on Tuesday evening was 27-year-old illegal alien Benita Veliz, who became the first illegal immigrant to address a national political convention. \u003cbr/\u003eShe arrived in the US as a child from Mexico, was a high achieving student and became a National Merit Scholar before graduating from college.\u003cbr/\u003eShe's now an advocate for the DREAM Act, a bill that would provide a path to citizenship for many young illegal immigrants like herself brought to the US as children.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I've had to live almost my entire life knowing I could be deported just because of the way I came here. President Obama fought for the DREAM Act (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) to help people like me.\"\u003cbr/\u003eRomney had pledged to veto the DREAM Act during his Republican primary campaign, but said he would work to create a civil but long-term solution to illegal immigration.\u003cbr/\u003eAnother speaker who fired up the crowd: Sandra Fluke, a law student whom congressional Republicans would not allow to testify at a hearing earlier this year on contraceptives.\u003cbr/\u003eFluke gained notoriety after conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh called her a 'slut' for supporting Obama's health care law requiring contraception coverage.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I'm here because I spoke out.  And this November, each of us must speak out,\" she said to huge cheers.\u003cbr/\u003eDemocratic officials are hoping Fluke's appearance will help solidify Obama's support among women, a key voting group as November approaches.\u003cbr/\u003e1.
