I want an America where the American dream is alive and well for any person responsible enough to work for it, without regard to race or gender or background or where they start out in life.

I believe it takes a village to raise a child, to build a future, to build a country.

There are some things we should do together.

I want to build a bridge to the 21st century where we go on and balance the budget.

I want you to help me build that bridge to the 21st century where everyone feels safe on their streets, in their schools, in their neighborhoods, in their parks.

I want us to go into that next century 4 years from now with the American dream alive and well for every person who's responsible to work for it.

We must not be distracted from the big issues here.

Every election time the election is always decided by those who vote and by those who don't.

This country is on the right track to the 21st century, and we need to keep going.

I think we'll all be better off if we all have a chance to do well.

We like our diversity. We're coming together.

Thank you for honoring Wellington and Wilma Webb.

Let's go build that bridge between now and Tuesday.

Will you help me build that bridge to the 21st century?

This election is about whether we think it takes a village to raise our children and build a country.

We're closer to the time when anybody can run for President, fulfilling the Constitution's requirements, and be considered on his or her own merits.

Success in life requires both individual effort and responsibility and a loving family, a loving community, a supportive nation.

Tonight is a happy night for us, to be here, to be a part of this.
