A political campaign, I think, should be more than just a contest between two men or two political parties.

Political action is the highest responsibility of a citizen.

I stand where Franklin Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson and Harry Truman stood, and I want your help.

I believe that we can win this election.

So I come to Brooklyn to ask your help in this campaign, and if we are elected, we are going to go to work.

I come over here to Brooklyn in this campaign to ask your help.

I run against a candidate who in 1960 says we have never had it so good.

I think it is time we stopped standing still.

I urge that it be given careful study, not only by urban officials, but also by all others concerned with life in our cities.

I believe that it is time this country began to move forward again.

The real issue is which party and which candidate can best strengthen the United States, can best serve the public interest.

I think it is time we started moving ahead as Americans and as believers in freedom.

I want it said at the end of our administration, if we are successful, that every American had an equal chance, every American had a fair chance to develop his talents, and that is all we ask and that is all that any American asks.

I come here tonight to ask your support in this campaign.

I come here tonight as the standard bearer for the Democratic Party and that I do with a sense of responsibility.

This is a contest between the comfortable and the concerned, and here in Brooklyn they are concerned as they are all over America.

My name is John Kennedy, and I come here as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States.

He runs on a slogan of standing up to Khrushchev, and yet he is not willing to let the American people hear him for the fifth time espouse his views of what our country must do.
