You are Americans. You love this country. Together we are entrusted with the principles that represent mankind's greatest political and social achievement.
From Paul Tsongas
Our destiny is greatness and we must return to its fulfillment.
I want to deploy the leadership to meet the challenges that face us and to restore America's greatness.
Thinking in generations also means enabling our young to have a decent standard of living.
Journey with me to a true commitment to our environment. Journey with me to the serenity of leaving to our children a planet in equilibrium.
That sense of sacredness, that thinking in generations, must begin with reverence for this earth.
From a viable economy to the full funding of Headstart, from a clean environment to true equality for women, from a strong military to a commitment to racial brotherhood, from schools that are honored to streets free of excessive violence.
Seven and half years ago I began my own journey. For me and my family it was a time of adversity. But during that adversity I derived a deeper faith. And born out of that adversity was a commitment to devote myself to those people and to those issues that truly matter to me.
America is the sum of all our journeys as we search for our national community and our national culture.
In this era of the global village, the tide of democracy is running. And it will not cease, not in China, not in South Africa, not in any corner of this earth, where the simple idea of democracy and freedom has taken root.
