The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
In this election, we offer that choice. I believe that we can give our middle class relief and provide working families with a road to opportunity. And slowly, I came to realize that something was missing as well - that without an anchor for my beliefs, without a commitment to a particular community of faith, at some level I would always remain apart, and alone. There must be a sustained effort to listen to each other; to learn from each other; to respect one another; and to seek common ground. As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and the fall of dusk.
But it does find voice in the barbershop or around the kitchen table. That's the promise of America - the idea that we are responsible for ourselves, but that we also rise or fall as one nation; the fundamental belief that I am my brother's keeper; I am my sister's keeper.
And just as Lieutenant Kerry did not hesitate to risk his life to protect the men who served with him in Vietnam, President Kerry will not hesitate one moment to use our military might to keep America safe and secure. I'll invest in early childhood education. We also know that military power alone is not going to solve the problems in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
And that man is John Kerry. To the Joshua generation, these challenges seem momentous - and they are. Passions fly on immigration, but I don't know anyone who benefits when a mother is separated from her infant child or an employer undercuts American wages by hiring illegal workers. That is why we will honor our agreement with Iraq's democratically-elected government to remove combat troops from Iraqi cities by July, and to remove all our troops from Iraq by 2012.
That we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe. America, we are better than these last eight years. So let me spell out exactly what that change would mean if I am President.
God bless you.
