We Believe That The People

We Are A People Trying Not Only To Solve The Problems Of The Present: Unemployment, Inflation... But We Are Attempting On A Larger Scale To Fulfill The Promise Of America.

Let's All Understand That These Guiding Principles Cannot Be Discarded For Short-term Political Gains. They Represent What This Country Is All About. They Are Indigenous To The American Idea. And These Are Principles Which Are Not Negotiable.

Let Each Person Do His Or Her Part. If One Citizen Is Unwilling To Participate, All Of Us Are Going To Suffer. For The American Idea, Though It Is Shared By All Of Us, Is Realized In Each One Of Us.

In Other Times, I Could Stand Here And Give This Kind Of Exposition On The Beliefs Of The Democratic Party And That Would Be Enough. But Today That Is Not Enough. People Want More.

Let There Be No Illusions About The Difficulty Of Forming This Kind Of A National Community. It's Tough, Difficult, Not Easy. But A Spirit Of Harmony Will Survive In America Only If Each Of Us Remembers That We Share A Common Destiny.
