The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
Our conscience can't rest so long as 37 million Americans are poor and forgotten by their leaders in Washington and by the media elites. The victims were innocent men, women and children from America and many other nations who had done nothing to harm anybody.
John Kerry believes in America. Because for two hundred and thirty two years, at each moment when that promise was in jeopardy, ordinary men and women - students and soldiers, farmers and teachers, nurses and janitors - found the courage to keep it alive. In the face of that young student who sleeps just three hours before working the night shift, I think about my mom, who raised my sister and me on her own while she worked and earned her degree; who once turned to food stamps but was still able to send us to the best schools in the country with the help of student loans and scholarships. Now is the time to end this addiction, and to understand that drilling is a stop-gap measure, not a long-term solution.
That we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe. Now let me be clear.
They know they have to work hard to get ahead - and they want to. Our conscience can't rest so long as 37 million Americans are poor and forgotten by their leaders in Washington and by the media elites. It is not up in heaven. Most working- and middle-class white Americans don't feel that they have been particularly privileged by their race.
The skeptical bent of my mind didn't suddenly vanish. But at the end of the day, we cannot walk away - not for the sake of passing a bill, but so that we can finally address the real concerns of Americans and the persistent hopes of all those brothers and sisters who want nothing more than their own chance at our common dream. We measure progress by how many people can find a job that pays the mortgage; whether you can put a little extra money away at the end of each month so you can someday watch your child receive her college diploma. And I will restore our moral standing, so that America is once again that last, best hope for all who are called to the cause of freedom, who long for lives of peace, and who yearn for a better future. That is the world we seek. It is easier to start wars than to end them.
Thank you very much everybody.
